Volunteer in Thailand |
Legitimacy of RCDP and Why should I join RCDP volunteer program RCDP Volunteer Program in Nepal & Tibet Volunteers' Testimonies |
With pristine beaches on the south, tropical forests and mountains on the north, the bustling capital of Bangkok full of magnificent buildings and Buddha statues, and the warm and ever welcoming people everywhere, Thailand is indeed a must visit place. Perhaps because of this there is none a better country to volunteer than in Thailand and help the poor and ordinary people.
Despite immersive economic growth and tourism, many Thais are still living under very poor conditions and many are still uneducated. The government seldom reaches out to its entire people. So join RCDP’s volunteer in Thailand program and get immersed in a Thai way of life while also helping the poor and deprive Thais have a better life. RCDP has many meaningful volunteer projects like Teaching English to students of poor families, public health projects, elderly home project and orphanage work. Enroll in one of our volunteer project and experience a wonderful country while enriching your own life and lives of other with your volunteer work. Thailand offers something for everyone so you will find the country a home away from home.
RCDP Thailand volunteer Program starts every 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month.
Every year hundreds of volunteers arrive in Thailand to volunteer from UK and USA based organizations and end up paying up to $2500 to volunteer for 2 weeks. Unfortunately, only a small portion of that money actually goes to host projects and host families. In our program, you will pay your fee directly to host families and projects up on arrival in Thailand.
