About Thailand

Discover one of the top travel destinations in Southeast Asia

From breathtaking landscapes and lush mountains to vibrant cities and world-famous cuisine, Thailand offers an unforgettable experience for every traveller. Whether you’re exploring ancient temples, embracing moments of mindfulness, or sampling incredible street food, every day brings something new. You will be based at our hub in the beautiful town of Mae Sariang - a peaceful rural community surrounded by temples, rice fields, and sweeping mountain views. Located just four hours from Chiang Mai, you can also experience the energy of northern Thailand’s cultural capital, from bustling night markets and iconic street food to bucket-list experiences like Chiang Mai Canyon, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, and ethical elephant encounters.

Making an Impact

Despite its thriving tourism industry, Thailand still grapples with various social and economic challenges. Rural areas often lack the essential services found in larger cities, leaving many residents living at or below the poverty line. With a lack access to quality education, healthcare and income generation opportunities, this is where you come in... use your skills, knowledge and passion to help make an impact in Thailand!

 

Explore the Hill Tribe communities of Northern Thailand

The Hill Tribes

Nestled in the scenic mountains are one of Thailand's hidden gems, the Hill Tribes. These unique communities offer a glimpse into traditional lifestyles, vibrant customs, and artisanal crafts. Visiting the hill tribes on one of our programs not only provides an immersive experience where you can learn about their distinct cultures and traditions, but it also provides you with an opportunity to help impact access to vital services such as healthcare and education. Engage with the warmth and hospitality of the hill tribe people and discover a side of Thailand that's both authentic and enriching.
