Things to Volunteer for

[Hal65]

What are some things to volunteer for locally that don't require a fixed schedule (I can only help sporadically)? I saw a charity that needed English teachers for underpriviliged kids but that isn't a good fit since it requires a regular commitment.

[sirmud63]

they also require work permits.

Are you a qualified Teacher?

[Hal65]

No, not a teacher. Would prefer something that isn't consistent or fitting of an official capacity or requirement for a work permit.

Years back, some expats/tourists got done up for picking up rubbish on the beach.

Volunteer actions may not be a wise use of your spare time.

requirement for a work permit.

 

If it's called volunteer, and involves people other than family, it requires a volunteer permit or something- don't remember the exact word, but they give them at immigration. There is a sign where to stand in the q.

They just want our money, not our labour.

Heard you can get done for watering your garden...

My house and garden need tidying. Feel free.

[murraynz]

very simple answer here---you can do this anywhere anytime..

picking up rubbish--i dont think you will get much appreciation from thais--but it definitely helps to improve the environment.  i have had  the occasionally "toot" or "thumbs up" from thais, but most look at me like im crazy..

I’m not 100% if it still happens as I don’t go the meetings very often, the PCEC ( Pattaya city expats club) had an arrangement with the education authorities to allow English tutition on a volunteer basis. 

 

The meetings are every Sunday morning at the Holiday Inn and you can get a very decent breakfast , you don’t have to be a member to pop along- but suspect you might have to join to volunteer? Perhaps look at the website? 

 

Otherwise Rotary- not so much volunteering , but they are involved in many decent projects , if you wish to help those less fortunate .

Last night I observed two tourists that seemed to be volunteering for the job of walking/talking/LDOP Buffalos.

Rubbish. As long as it's your own/ family property you can do anything, more or less. When we had floods I was outside the gate digging drains with the council big wigs looking and nothing happened.

However, if one has "annoyed" a local, watering one's own garden might be used as an excuse to be done.

I do voluntary sex training and make donations to the Issan community on a regular basis. I find it rewarding and so do they.

Well, I believe there are always open volunteer positions for a cuckolded farang

[thesetat2013]

Seems to me you are only qualified to volunteer sperm donations. However I believe you will need to pay a fee even to do this. The real question though would be finding someone who actually wants your help with this and willing to take your donations and time.

For clarification, is he qualified for the giving or receiving end of these donations?
