World Endeavors 

The dates shown in the table are the check-in and check-out dates of the accommodation.

Bangkok

The projects take place in Bangkok, one of the largest metropolitan areas in Asia. Its vast geographical size and population make it one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities on the continent — a unique blend of tradition and modernity, with food markets, ancient Buddhist temples, and ultra-modern skyscrapers.

The distance between the accommodation and the project site may take up to an hour by public transport, due to heavy traffic.

Koh Samui

Koh Samui is an island located in the Gulf of Thailand, known for its beaches, lush nature and more relaxed atmosphere compared to the country’s larger cities. Although it is a well-known tourist destination, the island maintains a strong connection to local culture, which can be experienced through its markets, temples, villages and everyday community life.

The destination offers an international and dynamic setting, while still feeling accessible and community-oriented. Volunteers will have the opportunity to experience local life closely, discover Thai culture and engage with the community in an environment shaped by a slower pace, natural landscapes and meaningful intercultural exchange.
 

Bangkok

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.

Koh Samui 

Volunteers will stay at the Koh Samui Center, in shared rooms for 4 to 8 people, with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. The accommodation also includes a swimming pool, communal living areas, safety boxes, lockers, hot showers and Wi-Fi.

Meals served at the accommodation are simple and homestyle, vegetarian-friendly and typically Thai, featuring rice and noodle dishes with vegetables, occasional meat options and seasonal fruit for dessert. Laundry facilities are available at an extra cost.

Bangkok

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.

Projects focused on environmental protection and wildlife conservation, promoting sustainability and community awareness through hands-on initiatives and educational outreach.

• Visiting local schools to lead educational workshops and activities about environmental conservation;
• Supporting reforestation projects and eco-management campaigns across the Bangkok area;
• Assisting local NGOs dedicated to animal welfare and rights, helping with administrative tasks, caring for stray or abused animals, and joining awareness campaigns in schools and communities.

This program allows volunteers to make a tangible contribution to both environmental sustainability and animal protection, while fostering environmental education and responsible practices within local communities.
 

Bangkok

Projects focused on supporting local health centers and promoting public health across Bangkok’s communities. Volunteers work alongside doctors and nurses to assist with patient care, prevention, and health education.

Activities include:

• Assisting at local health centers, helping in outpatient departments with patient vital signs and basic care;
• Joining mobile health units to conduct community visits, providing physical check-ups, eye exams, vaccinations, and health consultations;

This project is ideal for volunteers interested in community health and medical outreach, offering valuable hands-on experience while contributing to the wellbeing of local populations in Bangkok.
 

 Koh Samui

Projects aimed at supporting maintenance, renovation and improvement work in spaces used by the local community in Koh Samui, such as schools, educational centers or other community facilities. The goal is to help make these environments safer, more welcoming and more functional for children, students and community members.

Activities may include painting, small repair tasks, general maintenance, improving classrooms or shared spaces, gardening and supporting practical work identified according to local needs. This project is suitable for volunteers interested in hands-on activities that can have a visible impact on the quality of community spaces.

 Koh Samui

Activities may include preparing food, feeding the elephants, cleaning and maintaining the areas, supporting observation and monitoring of animal behavior, and assisting local staff with daily routines. The project offers volunteers the opportunity to learn more about elephant protection and animal welfare through practical, hands-on experience in a local setting.

Depending on the needs of the host placement, volunteers may also help prepare teaching materials and organize activities designed to encourage learning, participation and children’s personal development.
