dayo202 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm interested to do a spot of volunteering work with dogs in or around the Bangkok area. Would any members on here point me in the right direction of any groups or charities I can contact ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishcarlos Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just do a google search for dog charities in Bangkok. It's quicker than asking on here. Don't worry about a work permit until you get busted... Which probably won't hapen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuket Man Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Legally you need a work permit but as said you probably would be ok as long as you do not upset anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghworker2010 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 You could try 'Lanta animal welfare' owned by a farang. They do help out a lot of dogs and cats. As long as you can put up with the big egos of the young volunteer vets and the farang 'manager'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she give that to you in writing on official immigration department paper? If not, it's no more valid than us saying it. In LOS, volunteering is work, and retirees are forbidden to work.
