Volunteer Travel Programs
Phuket is a beach lover’s dream. It’s Thailand’s largest island and is often dubbed the pearl of the Andaman. Unfortunately over development has caused some parts of Phuket to become rather brash and tacky – but dig beneath the exterior and Phuket still has plenty of charm to offer.

Phuket is located in the Southwest of Thailand and is easily reached by bus, ferry or air. Phuket itself can be navigated by hiring a moped or hopping on one of many local buses that drive around the island day and night.

Phuket Old Town still retains its architectural beauty, and the night markets are fun to explore. However Phuket’s main attractions are its power white beaches, amazing diving, tranquil bays and tropical forests.

Volunteer Work Programs - And Fun
Being a prime tourist destination, Phuket has plenty more to offer that volunteers can take advantage of including clubbing, golf, boat trips around the island, thai boxing matches, visiting temples and Chalong’s big Buddha. There’s also the vegetarian festival held in early October – the Chinese community’s event to abstain from meat for nine days to improve their health and well being. Be prepared for lots of bizarre behaviour – fire walking, body mutilation and body piercing!

Volunteer work programs like our gibbon rehabilitation, dog rescue, and childcare have volunteers live in Phuket.
