Day 1 - Bangkok arrival transfer ( -/-/- )

Arrival and joint transfer. Our well experienced guide will provide you with some useful tips for exploring the city and give you some ideas idea of what you could do on your tour.

Day 2 - Orientation tour and Thai language lessons ( B/-/- )

Today is a tour on foot. The aim is to ensure that you see as much as possible of the everyday life of Bangkok and its people, and what better way to do that than to combine your walk with as many different modes of public transport as possible. Stops on the tour will normally include some interesting temples, a flower market and Little India or Chinatown.

Then spend time to learn Thai in an informal atmosphere. You will have lessons that start with simple words and conversation, just enough to get by, and then more specific words that you will need for to the project you are joining. Then go out to try it in real-life situations, such as a local market, taking your own transport and trying to bargain for things by yourself.

Day 3 - Bangkok to Royal Sea Sanctuary Project ( B/-/- )

Take a pubic air-conditioned bus to Chanthaburi and then with local pick-up truck continue to Kung Krabaen Bay. Meet the staff for orientation of the project and see in which areas you can best be of assistance.

Days 4-12, Royal Sea Sanctuary Project ( -/-/- )

Though the project was an initiative of the King’s, it still cannot run independently. The main problem is a lack of capable people who have a good understanding about marine life and are willing to give their time to the project. Your input in this will play an important role in the project’s success. 

Opportunities for you to help include: the sea life study project, conservation projects, the Sea-crab Bank project, the survey-diving project, teaching (help provide education to the local people), IT (help with websites, exhibitions, demonstrations, etc) and hospitality assistance (greeting and showing around other foreign visitors).

After saying farewell to your colleagues at the project, return to Bangkok by public bus.

Day 14 - Departure transfer ( B/-/- )
