Throughout your time, you will be working closely with children aged 2.5 to 6 years old at a local children’s development center and kindergarten located in Chiangmai.

These educational institutions often face a shortage of teachers, resulting in overcrowded classrooms where it becomes challenging for a single teacher to provide individual attention to each child.

Harnessing your creative skills, you will engage the young learners in various activities such as songs, dances, games, and repetition exercises. These engaging approaches not only facilitate their English language learning but also introduce them to fundamental educational concepts.

Moreover, as many local Thai teachers may not be fluent in English, your presence and assistance become invaluable, providing them with an opportunity to practice English from an early age. By exposing the children to different accents and fostering interactions with foreigners, you contribute to their overall learning experience and boost their confidence in engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Before commencing your work at the placement, you will collaborate with local coordinators to review teaching lessons, materials, and activities for the day. This ensures a seamless and continuous learning journey for the children under your care.

Now, let’s take a look at a typical day’s schedule:

Embark on a truly unforgettable adventure as you connect with nature’s gentle giants in the heart of Chiang Mai. Get ready to immerse yourself in the magical world of elephants at the Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, where you’ll spend a day alongside these incredible creatures in their natural jungle habitat. Prepare to be amazed as you engage in their daily routines, bond with them, and create lifelong memories.

For thousands of years, elephants have been instrumental in human activities, but sadly, their well-being hasn’t always been prioritized. Revered in Thai culture, these majestic beings hold a special place in the hearts of locals. However, the treatment of individual elephants often fails to reflect this deep respect. Rampant abuse, poaching, deforestation, increased tourism, and habitat loss have led to a rapid decline in elephant populations, earning them an endangered status.

Our project takes place in a sanctuary that provides a safe haven for elderly, sick, disabled, previously abused, or illegally-owned elephants. Here, our focus is entirely on the well-being of these magnificent creatures. Riding elephants is not part of our program, but instead, you’ll have the opportunity to intimately interact with them. Join us in washing and bathing the elephants, preparing their nourishing meals of sugarcane and banana plants, and even swimming alongside them. During the day, the elephants roam freely within the sanctuary, returning to the forest in the early evening.

Throughout your journey, you’ll have the privilege of working alongside experienced mahouts, who have dedicated their lives to understanding elephants and providing them with the best care. While the sanctuary welcomes day visitors and short-stay participants for respectful and saddle-free interactions, our ultimate mission is to ensure the well-being of these incredible animals. You may encounter a dedicated team of 40-50 individuals diligently working to support the elephants, whether it’s preparing their food, assisting with bathing, or simply observing their graceful actions.

It’s important to note that our project revolves solely around the compassionate care of these gentle giants. There will be no exploitation of the animals during your time with us. Our focus is on preserving and protecting these majestic creatures for generations to come.

Learn the art of Muay Thai in the country where it originated.

Muay Thai, or Thai Boxing, is the national sport in Thailand. It is dubbed the “art of the eight limbs,” as it teaches you to combat your opponent using eight different points of contact on the body. Learn a skill for life while enjoying amazing Thailand.

This program provides you with the perfect base to either learn the art of Muay Thai, or (if you already know the basics), to advance your skills in the country of the sport’s origins. Known as the “art of the eight limbs”, Thai Boxing teaches you to fight your opponent using 8 different points of contact on the body – feet, knees, elbows, and hands. It is one of the most physical martial arts, but also one of the most exclusive.

Its distinctive features set it apart from other forms of boxing:

Eight Limb Striking: Muay Thai utilizes punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes, making use of all eight points of contact. This unique aspect provides practitioners with a versatile and comprehensive striking skill set.
Clinch Fighting: Muay Thai places a strong emphasis on clinch work, where fighters engage in close quarters. This involves controlling an opponent’s posture, delivering knee strikes, and executing throws to gain an advantage.
Elaborate Techniques: The art incorporates a wide range of techniques, from powerful roundhouse kicks to intricate sweeps and devastating elbow strikes. This diversity of moves requires practitioners to develop both strength and finesse.
Mental and Physical Toughness: Training in Muay Thai emphasizes building mental resilience and physical endurance. Fighters are conditioned to withstand intense physical exertion and maintain focus during challenging situations.
Cultural and Ritualistic Elements: Muay Thai is deeply rooted in Thai culture and often includes pre-fight rituals, such as the Wai Kru dance, which pays homage to teachers and demonstrates respect for the art.
Combination of Offense and Defense: Muay Thai fighters are trained to transition between offense and defense seamlessly. This includes blocking, parrying, and countering techniques to both protect themselves and strategically engage with opponents.
Clinically Precise Strikes: Muay Thai places a premium on precision and accuracy in striking. Practitioners aim to target specific vulnerable areas on the opponent’s body, maximizing the effectiveness of their strikes.
Conditioning and Fitness: Training in Muay Thai involves rigorous physical conditioning to enhance strength, speed, and agility. This focus on overall fitness contributes to the well-rounded athleticism of practitioners.

In summary, Muay Thai stands out for its unique combination of striking techniques, clinch fighting, mental toughness, cultural significance, and the integration of both offensive and defensive strategies.
