Volunteer Work In Bangkok?

[Polemi]

Hi!

We are a family of four that want to go to Bangkok for 3 months or more. We would like to do some kind of volunteer work in BKK(teaching English, horticulture etc) for part of this time. Do you know of any good organisations that could help us. Our two sons would like to join us, they are 18 and 16.

Thanks

a couple of points:

1- you need a work permit to do even volunteer work in thailand (inane i know)

2- most volunteer opportunities actually expect you to pay them here!

3- others will not let you volunteer unless you meet a list of qualifications.

good luck...

I did wonder.... Was googling and found just what you said!!! I thought it might be different if you are already in the country. Thanks anyway.

under the age of 20 is hard to become a volunteer here in thailand esp. in bangkok.

they just think we are just kids ..... life is so unfair!
