Free Volunteer Opportunities in Thailand

Can anyone recommend any free volunteering projects in Thailand, I don't mind where but preferably with animals. I was looking at IVHQ but it is too expensive at around £500 per week, but I'm struggling to find anything free or much lower costs. Working with elephants would be a dream. I'm thinking about going early next year around February.

You might like to have a look at our volunteer projects in Thailand - lots of options from wildlife sanctuaries to marine conservation. Prices range from free, to upfront fees which include things like accommodation. It really depends on where you want to go/do as to the specifics. The main thing is to apply though, Thailand is such a special country.

I would love to work at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand 😀

Have you thought about visiting elephant sanctuaries in Thailand instead? There are lots all over the place and most do day taster visits which are really cheap.

Is there anything cheap/free in Thailand for a budget student? Preferably this summer.
