Beschreibung
I have been living in Thailand for over 8 years now and run a small resort in Khao Sok - National Park - I have a small bamboo bungalow in the rural town of Kuraburi - around 2 hours north of Khao Sok and need help to care for 5 dogs. The dogs have been left homeless and we are trying our best to provide care and company for them.

Was ist das?
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Living in a rural village gives you the chance to see how Thai people really live - helping with English teaching - gives you a connection to the families and opens doors and opportunities in the local area. Kuraburi is not a touristic town and life is simple, food is authentic and delicious.
Arbeit
Hello I need help with caring for 6 dogs in Kuraburi, this is a down time project - giving volunteers the chance to relax and have a base to work from for 3 - 4 weeks. The dogs are my priority and need walked, fed and washed - love and attention. I also like to arrange some English classes for the local children - just fun time, drawing, number, colours etc. I ask the bungalow and small garden area be kept clean and tidy and really the rest of your time is your own. ideal project for long time travelers who need some private space and time.
We have bicycles you can use and there are places to rent a motorcycle if you like, but please make sure you have insurance.

Kuraburi is located 15km from some of the most beautiful and deserted beaches, unspoiled by tourism. It has also the closest local pier to the island of Koh Phrathong, one of the last remaining islands which hosts a savanna and miles and miles of beautiful beaches. The area is surrounded by mountains and waterfalls, you are immersed in beautiful nature, the area is truly beautiful and off the beaten track.

Staying 2 weeks there was an amazing and relaxing experience.
The dogs are so nice and it s very easy to take care about them.
Karen is so nice and kind.
If you look for a place to relax and live for a while in a very slow-mode that s the right place.
