so i wonted to ask if there was anyone about who has done there own net working for this kind of volunteering or would it be best to go with gab and let them do all the hard work for us...we are only going for 4 weeks we are not looking to moving to thailand yet..
i would be greatfull for any help...
thanks angela

ladyangela,
Given the short time you're going to be there perhaps just volunteering to work/help at one of the hill tribes would be a fabulous experience for you. They would probably give you free room and board [it won't be the Hilton or Marriot but the food would be good] and you could get to know some genuine people without an agenda. Tumbleweeds posted a URL of an organization that did something along those lines but when you get to Thailand go to the office of the Minister of Culture [a guess] and I'm sure they would be most helpful in directing you. Using the Internet, you should be able to connect with them now and find out whom to contact before your trip. Give the Internet a try!
