  Beschreibung

  Hard work since 2002 has brought us to where we are today - a successful concept on Koh Lanta with a unique approach and a different “way of thinking” than other places. A few things make us stand out from the crowd:
  
  1. Our COMPASSION for animals in distress on the island. Our profits go to the animal welfare charity that the owner founded.
  2. Our true PASSION for food and a desire to create a laid-back, and welcoming atmosphere for people from all around the world.
  
  Our place consists of:
  - A professional and fun open-air creative Thai Cooking School with cocktail classes (with a swimming pool)
  *** Highly recommended in worldwide guide books and online
  - Animal Welfare center and recovery, adoption
  
  Junie, is owner of this business and is also the founder of the registered animal welfare charity on the island. The profits from the business goes to her registered animal charity, where thousands of cats and dogs have been rescued, sterilized, given lifesaving medical care and also found loving homes all over the world.
  
  By volunteering with us, YOU help to support the work of our Animal welfare centre, get to know more about the Thai culture, the people, the amazing food, also socializing with other volunteers and Thai staff at our animal welfare centre.
  
  WE ACCEPT VOLUNTEERS 25 YEARS and up.

  VOLUNTEER POSITIONS:
  1. Dog trainee (positive re-enforcement only) Don’t get confused… as we support the animal charity we are looking for a volunteer for this position also. It would be great if you can inform what kind of experience / education you have before applying for this position. This position is open all year.
  
  2. Animal care (rescue dogs and cats)
  You have good experience handling/walking dogs in a positive way. Allot of the rescue dogs have had traumatic experiences need time to get to know new people. In this position you need to be physically fit, and not be afraid of getting your hands dirty and getting a good sweat up.. You also need tolorate heat.
  
  2. Social media, photography, video editing (you would need your own laptop, camera and software etc.) You have a passion for the visual and a knowledge too. With this, you can help a rescue animal to get adopted to a forever home. Now isn’t that rewarding? This position is open all year.
  
  In all positions you need to have a passion for animals and be very comfortable around dogs and cats, that might be scared because of former abuse. There will be rescue animals where we conduct the cooking and cocktail classes. Because of this, you can’t have animal allergies.
  
  - You understand that you will be committed to stay for the time we have agreed on. By not doing so, you are putting us in a very hard position, which results in letting the animals down that we care for. Unfortunately, we have been let down by several workaways, we truly hope that won’t be you!
  - You understand that this is working holiday, but very rewarding as well ;o)

  Unterkunft

  We offer a daily fixed rate for food allowance for volunteers. There is a weekly fresh market once a week right next door, restaurants and convenience/veggie shops close by.
  
  The accommodation is in an enclosed secure area with 4 rooms for volunteers. Each room accommodates 2 people, although you wont be asked to share unless with a friend or in a couple. A bathroom with hot shower and a Thai western style toilet (see picture cartoon). The rooms have fans and two sets of bedding, which you are responsible to clean yourself. Laundry service on the island is very cheap and we have a free to use machine in the kitchen area too. The rooms will be clean, of course, when you arrive, but please keep them clean yourself during the stay. Not doing so will attract bugs. There is a shared kitchen / with table, comfy chairs and hammocks, fridge and cooking stations. It’s especially important that you clean after yourself in the kitchen too, as this is a shared space.
  
  *Also in the enclosed area we have a longterm cat recovery (8 large cages with usually 1 cat in each cage). This is cleaned twice daily by the welfares vet nurses, so there is no smell. On the positive side you have the opportunity to give them cuddles as long as you follow the procedures. Since the accommodation is onsite with the animal welfare, you will have to be tolerant with some animal noise.
  
  We always strive to be honest about the accommodation, we have had more than 500 volunteers staying with us that are very happy with their stay. There are some though who find it too basic for what they are used to. So please be honest with yourself what you want. The rooms are comfy budget options, not a 4 star hotel, please be mindful of this when booking with us.
  
  The kitchen is also shared with staff from the animal charity, so you will have a good opportunity to get know Thai locals as well, all sharing the same passion – animals and FOOD!

  Was noch ...

  There are motorbikes and bicycles for rent, so you can easily discover this great Island on your free time. Other things to do: Lanta is a diving paradise! Snorkeling trips, Biking, Yoga, Meditation, Joging on the beach, doggie walks at our animal shelter, and enjoying the laid back atmosphere. Luckily Lanta is not over populated with charter tourists like Phuket and Koh Samui. Keep in mind that it is a tropical country so the heat can be intense and humid, particularly between 11.00 and 16.00.
  
  Travel / health insurance is compulsory when volunteering with us!
  
  Please read all details above again - twice, and carefully, before you contact us. If this is not for you, maybe you know some one that's just the right person?
  
  ~Sorry if we do not reply to you! We get dozens of emails each day and can only reply to the ones who fit our schedule!~
