Thailand is a nation that has been catapulted into modernity. Its relatively strong economic development and booming tourist industry mean that English teachers are in high demand. A careerbreak thailand experience will take you away from the from the popular tourist destinations of Koh Samui and Phuket and introduce you to more traditional ways of life of the Thai communities.
Ecoteers careerbreak thailand volunteers get a unique insight into the thai country, people and culture that many backpackers and travellers will never get to see.
Cost - GBP20-50 per week
The rural population in Thailand is poor and has only little access to education. Careerbreak Thailand volunteers who share their lifes and support them can make a big change. Careerbreak Thailand volunteers at this project get involved in teaching English, construction and just about anything that makes the lifes of the local community better. Highly recommended.
