Volunteer Holidays – Thailand

Childrens Home in Northern Thailand

7 nights including transfers and accommodation (at motel located close-by) FROM $920.00 p/p

This inspiring childrens home and others have been established throughout the beautiful northern region of Chiang Mai in Thailand, to assist and care for hundreds of desperate and vulnerable children of this region.
Here they are provided with the opportunity for a normal childhood and a full and quality life. All children benefit from a secure and safe community, medical and emotional support, quality education and a loving family environment. As the children complete their schooling years they are encouraged to pursue their dreams and are given further opportunities via trainee programs, undertaking further studies or apprenticeships including possibilities with overseas and International studies. This is a truly grass roots project changing young lives in an incredible way. All are welcome to volunteer … you just need a willing heart and able body!

After your week volunteering, why not extend your stay in Thailand and experience some of the following … elephant rides, markets, waterfalls and magical caves. Perhaps explore further afield … take boatride through Laos, visit the islands of southern Thailand, or do a trek in one of the local provinces. Or perhaps enjoy a well deserved second week relaxing at a pristine beach resort. Don’t miss lively Bangkok for some retail therapy!

* Childrens home is a christian ministry and visitors will be expected to respect all christian activities.

Can you help?
Everyone is welcome – no skills required! Volunteers are invited to get involved in the following:

  • English lessons & assist with English homework
  • Games & other activities with the children
  • Assist with meal preparation, music, art
  • Other activities that utilise volunteers’ specific skills

Rahab Ministries

7 nights including transfers and accommodation (at motel located close-by) FROM $1499.00 p/p
Enjoy a Girls’ Getaway to Thailand!

Volunteer at Rahab Ministries, do some serious shopping in Bangkok and finish your holiday by relaxing at the beach!

Spend time with the friendly team at Rahab Ministries in the heart of Bangkok, who help to free women and girls from prostitution. Join the Rahab team one evening, visiting bars to let these precious women know that people from all over the world care about them.

Rahab Ministries also operates a beauty salon as a means of building relationships with the women who come in before starting work each night. Rahab’s internet cafe, English language programs and computer classes are other means of reaching out to these women. These opportunities enable the Rahab team to offer women an alternative to prostitution, providing them with hope for a brighter future.

The team at Uplift can tailor the perfect package for you that incorporates both meaningful volunteering and time for shopping, rest and relaxation!

*Because of the nature of this project, only female volunteers are suitable. Rahab Ministries is a Christian ministry and visitors will be expected to respect Christian activities while volunteering.

Elephant Volunteer Project

7 day package including transport, accommodation and meals from AUD $975.00

This unique project is set in Chiang Mai province, Northern Thailand. This project is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center where you can volunteer and visit to help. We have been involved in dozens of rescues to create our thriving elephant herd. The park provides a natural environment for elephants and other animals under our care. Volunteers and visitors contribute to the healing while learning about their lives past and present.

Volunteer jobs are varied, from bathing elephants to basic health care. Traveling around the country in a variety of modes, from 4 wheel trucks to bamboo rafts, volunteers will experience local and tribal lifestyles, culture and hospitality.

In some cases volunteers may be required to look after our recent rescues and may be sent to different areas. All volunteers are required to help with household chores and cooking.

These activities are suitable for all age groups with a good standard of fitness and health.
No experience required, however vet students and vet professionals are also encouraged to apply.

Elephant and Community Village Volunteer Project

7 day package including transport, accommodation and meals from AUD $1145.00

This is a project created with the intention of allowing elephants owned by the Karen people in the north of Thailand to retire from trekking camps and return to living in the jungle and hills near their villages. It is intended that this project will enable these elephants to live a more natural life and help to restore the close connection that the Karen people traditionally had with their elephants.

Tasks include:

  • Walking elephants from forest to village (involves heading into the jungle, sometimes for the entire day) – with a local guide
  • Cutting grass and collecting food for elephants
  • Work with the vet to check elephant health
  • Teach English classes in the local school
  • Farm work with local villager
  • Learn about local herbs and planting grass and trees for the elephants, and forest fire prevention in dry season
