Volunteer Conservation - THAILAND
Daily Life


Weekly / Daily schedule


This is the basic routine that you will be following during your stay with us, but there are always variations that depend upon the specific project workload or when we go on trips and arrange community projects. As you will discover some of our projects are dependent on the weather, tidal movement, some are seasonal and others are fixed throughout the year and so time restraints may require us to dedicate more time to a given project and hence cause changes in the schedule.

However this general routine is the base for our work and you will soon fit into the rhythm.  Afternoon activities also occur, although not everyday, and these are more flexible and will involve presentations, nursery and project maintenance, data entry and article writing.  We also arrange evening and weekend social activities which are tremendous fun, but optional.

We always encourage volunteers to get involved as much as possible and so if you have a particular interest or enjoy doing one project more than another then let us know and we will always do our best to accommodate you. However, we ask that everyone works as hard on a rainy beach clean-up day, as a beautiful sunny dive day!
