EPIC TRIP THROUGH THAILAND

Khao SOk
Intro

Explore Thailand: Bangkok to Hua Hin wildlife volunteering and southern islands.

Thailand is a very popular travel destination and it is easy to understand why. Go and discover the temples and jungles, enjoy life on Thailand's white, sandy beaches, and enjoy some amazing food along the way while meeting other travelers from around the world! You can experience and combine so many different things and places on a short time in one single trip.

Start your trip by getting a transfer from the airport to a really cool wildlife rescue project around Hua Hin. Head back to Bangkok where you'll travel in a group of likeminded backpackers all the way down to Koh Tao with stops in Khao Sok National Park and Koh Pha Ngan along the way. Next up is a true diver's paradise when you get to learn to dive in Koh Tao. End your trip in Koh Samui before heading back home again.

Day 1-14: Volunteering in Hua Hin at the Wildlife Rescue Center

Your start out this itinerary with a transfer from Bangkok to Hua Hin where 14 days of personal development is waiting. We've included a really nice volunteer project in this itinerary, and what you'll be doing is, alongside volunteers from all corners of the world, help out at a wildlife rescue center. The aim of this project is to help the animals get rehabilitated and released back into the wild. You'll get lots of different tasks and the atmosphere in the camp is beyond awesome. If you'd rather do volunteering with children in a kindergarten, we can arrange that in Hua Hin as well. Just let us know.

Three meals a day are provided and the organisation offers different pick-up options in different locations. Your travel advisor can help you request a transfer that best fits your needs!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

You’ll spend 14 days living in camp alongside international volunteers, helping rehabilitate rescue animals so they can be released back into the wild. No prior experience is needed—just bring a good attitude and readiness to get your hands dirty with daily tasks. If working with animals isn't your thing, you can switch to a kindergarten teaching project instead.

You'll complete a 5-day course to earn your official PADI Open Water certificate, which lets you dive anywhere in the world. The training mixes underwater lessons and open-water dives with daily yoga sessions and group hangouts in the evenings.

It’s a mix of both! You'll start with your volunteer placement, then head to Bangkok to join a group trip down to Koh Tao. Afterwards, you'll have complete flexibility—including an arrival hostel package on Koh Samui where you can rent a scooter, chill, and explore at your own pace.
