Program Overview

Program Description:

From pristine beaches and remote mountain communities, to floating markets and bustling cities, Thailand will take your breath away. When you volunteer in Thailand, you'll soak up the cultural influences of India, China and Cambodia and the strong presence of Buddhism, all of which meld together to create the unique richness of Thailand.

With Cross-Cultural Solutions you'll experience not only the great things Thailand is famous for, but also a side that you never knew existed. By connecting with the local staff and serving others, you'll experience Thailand not as a tourist, but more as a member of the community.

For two decades, CCS volunteers have traveled around the world to work on sustainable service projects. Volunteer in Thailand to help improve education for local children, assist with the care of children, or support children or adults with disabilities.

Setting Description:
The city of Bangkok is home to western skyscrapers and hundreds of Buddhist temples. The streets of Bangkok bustle with the sights, sounds and smells of another world. Trang, the "Town of the Dawn", is a peaceful and tranquil province located on the West coast of Thailand.
