November 25, 201312 yr Hi all, I came to BKK for surgery... For one reason or another i will not have surgery. I had 10 days of doing nothing post operation recovery planned before i went home. Now i have 10 days of nothing planned. I have been to BKK before and seen all the sites etc so was wondering if my time cud be spent better. Is there anywhere i cud do some kind of volunteer work? Any ideas wud be appreciated.. Thanks
November 26, 201312 yr Volunteering needs a work permit. Not worth the efforts for only a ten day period. Most visas or visa exempt entries indicate you're not permitted to work, and that includes volunteering.
November 26, 201312 yr Hop on a train or bus to Kanchanaburi and spend the time there. Though the UK, OZ and NZ war cemeteries are meticulously maintained, there's always something nearby that could stand some sprucing up if you wanted to sneak in a little good works.

November 26, 201312 yr In Bangkok a worthy cuase: Human Development Foundation 100 / 11 Kae-ha Klong Toey 4, Klong Toey Bangkok 10110, Thailand They may have something you can help witau
November 26, 201312 yr I volunteered at EMPOWER for a month when I first got here. Great, fun people that will show you around. You will not need a work permit, and they will take care of you. Good choice on not getting the surgery here I think.
