Volunteer Work In Thailand
The Bangkok Post published a great article yesterday listing numerous Thai charities, big and small, that require help, both financially and also practically. If you're travelling to Thailand and looking for a chance to volunteer or just want to give a little of your beer money to a good cause, have a look at this list and choose one that's good for you. These sort of grass roots projects deserve support because they're run by people who are directly involved with those that need the help.

I've written about volunteer work in Thailand before with my friend Dan's company Starfish Ventures. Even before the tsunami, there were hundreds of volunteer projects that needed help; now, a year after the tsunami, there are many more.

[Other stuff I've written on the tsunami: my first post the day after the tsunami happened; the stories of how my friends escaped the tsunami; my return to Khao Lak in January 2005; and going through a tsunami warning on Koh Lanta in April 2005; and my thoughts about the first anniversary of the tsunami.

I've also written articles for Asian Diver magazine about diving the Similan Islands and Koh Lanta after the tsunami, which are reproduced on my scuba diving site Divehappy.]
