Why Join Abroad Escape?
20 years of experience. One dedicated alliance. Real impact.
20 Years Experience
We don’t guess, and we don’t outsource to strangers. With over two decades of experience in international volunteering, we provide the structure and "Mission Control" you need to travel with total confidence.
We’ve spent 20 years refining our programs so that what you see on our website is exactly what you find on the ground.
Impact
We focus on long-term benefits, not "volunteer-tourism" for show. Our projects in Thailand are permanent community fixtures, from local schools to elephant conservation projects.
We work directly with the community to ensure your contribution provides a genuine, lasting impact where it is needed most.
Support
You are never on your own. For over 15 years, we have worked with The Green Lion, Thailand's pioneers in ethical volunteering travel programs.
This deep-rooted alliance means you will get the personal support of our UK team, combined with a massive, established safety net of a team of local coordinators, secure housing, and 24/7 assistance.
Thailand Volunteer Essential Information
We answer the most common questions for volunteers and parents to ensure total transparency.
Q: Is it safe for solo female travelers in Thailand?
A: Absolutely. Through our alliance, we provide secure, gender-segregated volunteer housing and 24/7 local support. Our team meets you at the airport (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or Samui) to ensure a safe transition to your base camp.
Q: What vaccinations do I need?
A: We recommend consulting a travel clinic for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus. Full health and safety guidance is provided in our Volunteer Handbook upon registration.
Q: How does the "On-Ground Support" actually work?
A: We have permanent staff on the ground. You will have a dedicated local coordinator and access to an emergency WhatsApp line active 24/7.
Q: Can I combine multiple locations?
A: Yes. Our flexible volunteering allows you to spend 2 weeks in Chiang Mai and then move to the beaches of Koh Samui.
