We are more than happy to take you to enjoy our local life, visit famous sights in our province or assist you to visit nearby tourist places.

Help
We are currently welcoming volunteers to assist us with some of our rural public schools that are in need of help with the teaching of the English language. Our foreign volunteers will be sent to these schools to assist the Thai English teachers in their classrooms which can make a much needed positive impact on the lives of the students and their families. We invite you to come teach Basic English to our students in our schools located in small villages in the countryside. You do not need to speak Thai. We are looking for English speakers to help our students to learn English basic conversation and verbal communication. Volunteers will interact with students alone while the local teacher will be with you in the classroom in case you need any assistance. Prior teaching experience is a plus! This is a great opportunity for you to learn about Thai culture and language!
School 1:
We are a beautiful primary and middle school, teaching students from kindergarten to grade 9. Our school is near to the famous Phayao Lake and 15 Km from downtown Phayao city with a mini mall, local markets, street food, tourist places, public parks, gyms, restaurants, the lake boardwalk etc. All the teachers and students at our school are lovely and very friendly. We are all excited to meet foreign volunteers and learn all about their culture and share ours with them.
School 2:
We are a lovely primary school, teaching kids from kindergarten to grade 6. The school is located in a small village in the countryside of Phayao province, and it is comprised of a community of Thai Lue, Northern Thai, and Isan people. The village is near to the ancient archaeological site of Wiang Lor. The school is located in a picturesque agricultural Community surrounded by beautiful rolling hills, river streams, rice fields, and fruit plantations. The community cooperates very well with the school and they organize many activities together which our volunteers can join.

What else ...
• Phayao province does not have an airport. To get to Phayao you need to fly into Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai airport and take a bus to Phayao.
- Chiang Rai to Phayao, 1.5 hours by bus
- Chiang Ma to Phayaoi, 3.5 hours by bus
- Bangkok to Phayao, 11.5 hours
Our teachers will gladly provide you with a ride to the nearest bus station.
• NOTE: We apologize for not being able to accommodate volunteers with special dietary requirements such as vegetarians and vegans.
•We do not charge volunteers any fees for staying with us. The generous gift of your time and dedication is all the donation we will ask of you. We provide the volunteers lodging and meals in return for their generous services. Please note that housing is on campus, smoking, and consumption of alcohol will not be allowed.
We expect candidates will have the ability to acclimate themselves to the local customs and mentality. e.g. dress conservatively, avoid public displays of affection etc. We are dedicated not only to help the children but also to make the working and living conditions of our volunteer teachers really pleasant.
