Volunteering Projects in Thailand

Keen to save the world on your travels?​ Volunteering around the world​ is actually a
really smart way to travel on a tight budget. There are lots of expensive volunteering
opportunities out there but if you can find an ethical company; you can find projects
that include food, accommodation and will set you back just a few dollars a day.

I've volunteered all over the world, sometimes arranging my own volunteering
placements and occasionally going through volunteering companies. Volunteering
whilst backpacking is an incredible experience; you will form lasting friendships and

give something back to the country you are travelling in. It's also a great way to have
a base for a little bit and to enjoy a bit of downtime in the evenings rather than
preparing for another hectic journey! The only problem is finding a decent
volunteering company that isn't out to make a huge profit.

Love Volunteers​ is the only company I am happy to give The Broke Backpacker seal
of approval!
