Travel to the mountainous northern provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in Thailand, home to lush forests, endless mountain ranges, and tremendous ethnic and cultural diversity. Foster connections with young Thai students as you teach conversational English lessons, contribute to ongoing construction projects at local schools, and perhaps even assist with other community projects as needed. Experience northern Thailand’s distinct cultures and traditions while staying in the small community of Tha Ton on the Kok River near the border with Myanmar. Learn about Buddhism through offering alms to monks and visiting temples, make delicious dishes in a Thai cooking class, participate in a school exchange with local high school students, and cap your program by exploring the dynamic cities of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, northern Thai cultural hubs.
