Description
My name is Taksin and I own an elephant sanctuary with my wife, Nuh, close to the historical city of Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. As a tourist guide I show interested guests our work with the elephants, the wilderness of the jungle and teach them about our culture. Both of us are from the indigenous Karen Hilltribe and are more than happy to give you insights into our traditions (of course you can also learn about Thai culture while staying with us ;)). We both speak English and love to meet people from around the world. We are looking for 1-2 people to help us with the elephant sanctuary (join the tours and help the guide on-site) and someone who could teach my six year old son some English.
We are looking for volunteers (MINIMUM STAY 1-2 MONTHS) with marketing and SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE DESIGN SKILLS TO EDIT OR UPDATE OUR WEBSITE. In return we offer you free accommodation in private rooms of free wifi and safety box, free coffee and tea as well as discounts on tours for attractions in and around Chiang Mai and the rest of ThailandTypes of help and learning opportunities

Our house is centrally located just 2 minutes walk from the old city of Chiang Mai, just off the famous Saturday walking street. In your free time you can explore the city, go hiking, take a refreshing shower in some waterfalls close to the city or just sit back and relax in our communal area or in one of the many cosy cafes and coffee shops close by. You can reach everything on foot but if needed we can help you out with our motorbike.
