Dreaming of spending more time in Thailand but worried about your travel budget? There’s a way to stretch your stay, connect with locals, and live a slower, more meaningful life; without blowing your savings. It's an equitable trade of energy for adventure, and the memories you create will be worth every seed that you plant and every brick that you lay.
1. Live like a local without the hotel bill
When you volunteer on an organic farm, you're not in Thailand for just a visit, you're living it. Most hosts provide a roof over your head and three meals a day, in return for 4-5 hours of labour in the Permaculture Volunteer Program. You'll typically stay with your host family, providing the type of immersive cultural experience that ordinary tourists don't experience.
2. Get your hands dirty and acquire new skills
One day you could be planting seeds at WWOOF Thailand and the next day baking bread. You could be composting, gardening, planting, harvesting, feeding animals, felling wood, milking cows, producing cheese or even making mud bricks. It's work with your hands, it's satisfying work that shows you much about sustainability, patience, and Thai traditions of farming.
3. Make connections that last a lifetime
One of the highlights of becoming a member of an organic farm project is the individuals you encounter. Whether it's your Thai host family, fellow volunteers from the world over, or villagers in the surrounding villages, these relationships can become lifelong friendships. Sharing meals in the Organic Farming Volunteer Program and labouring side by side form a connection you won't get in a hostel or tourist resort.
