Phang Nga, Thailand

Volunteer in Phang Nga

With beaches that stop you in your tracks, there’s no better place to find your purpose than on Thailand’s Andaman coast.

Since 2004, the small fishing village of Ban Nam Khem has worked to rebuild after being hit by a devastating tsunami. Here, GVI’s participants collaborate with our local partners on vital social development initiatives. You’ll support an incredible community while connecting with Thai culture and the spectacular surrounds.
