To get the most benefit from the experience (and to make the best contribution to the school) we would advise you to spend a minimum of 4 weeks. The local schools are happy to welcome people for shorter duration's. You may choose to stay for up to 6 months or longer. Once you have done this and choose to travel more of Thailand, you’ll have got to know lots of Thai people who will have good advice about where to go and will be able to help you in your travels. Or surrounding countries (Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam are popular – they are a bit “difficult” culturally, but after some weeks in Thailand you will be well-prepared) or further a field (Australia?).

We started our programs because vocational training and other forms of education are much needed in Thailand, especially for the unprivileged youngsters in rural areas. We initiate sharing of ideas by involving participants in Thai cultures, lifestyles, traditions, while staying and involving themselves with the daily life of local villagers. Thai cooking, language, farming, charcoal lessons will also be offered. Main group of the educational activities is poor children (mainly primary school students and also some in secondary schools), as their lives in most instances can be difficult. You don't have to be a teacher! Just a willingness to assist by simply giving students a chance to listen to speak English! Learning by heart, learning grammar, with opportunities to improve conversational skills. Our goal of promoting assistance programs needs people sharing their personal experiences with others who have the desire to exchange ideas and knowledge while exploring the world. The school year begins in May and ends in February, with a semester break from late September to mid-October. There are no administration, service or agency fees when booking our programs directly through us. You are responsible to cover your costs for everything else. We require a minimum 2 months notice for sharing a basic room in a teachers home with their family. Remember you are part of the family and will be responsible in sharing most of the household chores. A donation fee to the teacher/school is requested to cover expenses. Other option with at least 2 weeks notice is a private or semi private room in our guest house. Both are very close to the villagers in the communities where you will assist.(Subject to availability)
