This unique opportunity is perfect for people who love animals. Volunteers help in a sanctuary that is home to over 400 neglected animals. Each day, you will work with birds, monkeys, gibbons, and the tiny sun bears. An elephant sanctuary is also on-site, so you may have the opportunity to see these gentle giants and maybe even work with them. As a volunteer, your main role is to help with food preparation and feeding, providing lots of interaction with the animals. You could also help create enrichment programs to rehabilitate the animals. No two days will ever be the same – and that is what makes this program so fun and fulfilling!

This was life changing!!!!
by: Amy Ketterer - United StatesProgram: Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteering in ThailandI didn’t expect to be pampered! I expected to be challenged, to be exposed to new things and nudged out of my comfort zone. I expected my thinking to expand, and it did…but in addition, my heart grew by 100 times! I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a life game-changer. I am a better person because of saying yes to this opportunity!
I would highly highly recommend this trip!
by: FionaProgram: Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteering in ThailandWorking with the elephants was so rewarding. The work was hard but every minute was worth it. My tips to other travellers would be take old clothes, you will get wet and dirty every day. Gloves are important! You’ll work hard but it is worth it. If you go for more than one week, I suggest you have a go at both sides of the WFFT volunteer program – Wildlife and Elephants. I absolutely felt that my holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts and supported conservation so I would ...
