glenbat Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I've a friend who is interested in doing some sort of volunteer work in Thailand, preferably with animals. Shes looked on the internet quite a bit but to be honest everything that comes up seems to be 'packages' charging more than a 5* month long holiday would cost Are there any large schools/sanctuarys (choice of words not great I know) that offer volunteers the ability to turn up and lend a hand, without going through large multinational organisations who probably pocket a large amount of the fee? She wants to do up to 2 months initially, preferably with elephants, monkeys or crocodiles Any advice I can pass on greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick & Dowroong are doing a great job up there and volunteers are most welcome (sadly, no wild crocodiles left in Thailand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seonai Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 The Gibbon Rehab Project on Phuket is a start. In Cambodia there is an excellent tiger/bear snactuary with a lot of funding for volunteers - let me know if she's interested and I'll get the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
