Sifalina Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm going to Bangkok for a couple of months and would like to volunteer at an orphanage a couple of times a week while I'm there. Do you guys know of any orphanages in Bangkok who need volunteers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yme Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You could try contacting Dianne & Fred Doell at Mercy Center in Pattaya if you are down that way: [email protected] Any good orphanage will require a police clearance / report from your home police force.

sanuk711 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 i used to go and take goodies down at the one run by father ray in pattaya. HEARTBREAKING. Yer I used to teach (Free) to some of the "special needs Kids" in there in the late 90s early 20s , the heartbreaking thing for me meatboy, was the absolutely scurrilous job that the British rag--The People- , done on the guy that ran it Father Ray, He never quite got over that & died shortly after. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berybert Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I thought you would need a work permit even if you Volunteer ??? You do. You also need proof that you are OK to work with children. You can not just show up and wok there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would say that you do --NOW-- things have changed a lot since the early 90s robertthebruce....I dont know if Woody still owns the Tahitian Queen in Pattaya, but he used to get groups together to paint the orphanage, especially when an American ships came in--& they would often supply the paint & guys to help.... Pattaya...I guess Thailand, was a lot different place 20 years ago....Work permits---proof that you are OK to work somewhere.....it just wasn't an issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
