Description
We are an eco resort located in Khao Sok, Surat Thani province in Thailand.
We have a large, ongoing project called the Camp, which provides free environmental education camps to teach local children about the importance of taking care of our amazing natural surroundings here. Our team of educators also run activities for our resort guests too, in order to make their stay with us more fun and educational.
We are located in a small village surrounded by national parks. Khao Sok is an ideal stop for jungle lovers! There are a few shops and restaurants nearby and we can give advice on visiting other tourist destinations in the region.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Depending on the nature of your visit, you are most likely to interact with our camp staff and farmers the most. We don't all speak English but that is sometimes part of the fun of travelling!
There is always farm work to be done, so you are welcome to join in and learn the trade when your daily tasks are done.
As well as this, being in Khao Sok for a few weeks is in itself an experience. You can enjoy listening to the sound of gibbons, swim in the river and see many birds and monkeys from our resort. Some of our favourite ways to socialise are tubing, night hikes and playing games in the evenings. We can also help you to organise a range of other activities such as a visit to the amazing Cheow Lan Lake.
Help
Volunteer tasks are usually split between working with the resort guests and working at our kids' camp. We take the safety of our campers very seriously, so please note that volunteers wanting to work with children are required to provide us with a criminal background check.
Typical duties include:
- Working with our educator team to plan and run weekend activities for local children
- Creating displays, signs or articles about the local flora and fauna
- Running nature-themed activities for families with young children (training provided)
- Interacting with our staff and our regular campers as much as possible to help them learn English
