Bangkok is a city unlike any other. As one of the largest metropolitan areas in Asia, Bangkok is a bustling, thriving city that pulses with the everyday energy of millions of people who call it home and the equally large population of international visitors. To live in Bangkok is to truly be at the heart of the action and to get a sense of the world coming together to work, play, and exchange ideas.

Volunteers live with local host families in shared or single rooms with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. Housing is located in close proximity to public transportation, which, in Bangkok, includes buses, subways, boats, and even an elevated Skytrain. 2 meals per day are included with the host family, and WiFi is also included.

The costs vary depending on the duration of the volunteer project.

• Application fee: €35 (non-refundable) - required during the program application phase.
• Deposit fee: €200 - required after the close of applications to confirm the intention to proceed with the enrollment.
• Programme fee (requested directly from World Endeavors after eligibility confirmation):
  • 3 weeks: $2,335
  • 4 weeks: $2,635

For destinations in partnership with World Endeavors, 30 scholarships of €1,350 each are available.

Volunteer at a local school serving children from 3 to 12 years old. The school is short of English-speaking teachers, so your assistance with teaching English will be very appreciated. You can also teach arts, music, dancing, and sports. You can also help teach English to the teachers and staff, as well as host an after-school English club for any interested students. 

Another option is for you to volunteer at a local nursery that looks after children from 3 to 5 years old while their parents are at work. Volunteers assist in looking after the children, playing games, teaching English, serving meals, and assisting with creative activities like making puppets or arts and crafts projects.
 

Volunteers will work in reduce-reuse-recycle and upcycling programs, campaigns for plastic garbage separation in many areas, up-cycling plastic innovation projects, and other campaigns for environmental management. As part of these programs, volunteers may visit local schools and create educational activities to provide information about environmental conservation, and assist with reforestation measures. 

Wildlife Conservation volunteers in Bangkok can join the work of various NGOs that promote public awareness for animals' needs and rights, and care for stray and abused animals. Volunteers assist with administrative activities and join the team for field work, helping animals and visiting schools to promote their animal campaigns. 

Volunteer with an organization that aims to support women who have been victims of various cases by providing shelter, care, job training and education. Volunteers assist the social workers in giving support and caring for the women, looking after their children, and assisting with job training workshops.

Another possible project is with a local community organization providing support for migrants from other provinces that has set up a free nursery for children from 3 to 5 years old. Volunteers assist in looking after the children, playing games, teaching English, serving meals, arranging creative projects, and teaching English to the staff. Volunteers can also assist with community activities, like planting trees. 

Volunteer with a health center in Bangkok. Previous volunteers have helped in the outpatient department, assisting with patient vital signs. Other volunteers have assisted with community visits with the mobile health unit, visiting people in various communities conducting physical health exams, eye exams, consultations, and providing vaccinations. Volunteers may also join home visits and/or school visits to provide health education and health screenings at local schools.

Volunteers may also have the opportunity to learn about traditional Thai medicine through an organized educational visit to such a facility, which can be arranged at an additional charge
