Why Volunteer in Thailand ?

Thailand is the most visited country in Asia and although bigger cities of

Thailand are developed, there is a lot of potential for development is rural

parts of Thailand. Volunteering Solutions works with local NGO's and

communities supporting orphan children in need, helping local Monks by

teaching English, working at a local Elephant village to help the elephants

get a better life. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. VOLSOL send

a steady number of volunteers to Thailand, which means the local

communities benefit and work gets done. Each year we send over 250

volunteers to Thailand to work on various volunteering projects.
