A Welcoming and Inspiring School

September 17, 2025by: Angela Patricio - AustraliaProgram: Teach English and Explore Northern Thailand’s Culture

Volunteering in Phayao was the most meaningful and unforgettable experience of trip! From the moment I arrived, all the students and teachers made me feel incredibly welcome and supported. The school creates such a positive, encouraging environment where the kids are eager to learn and engage, and the teachers were so kind and helpful, always willing to answer my questions, share ideas, and make sure I felt comfortable in the classroom. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to volunteer here. It’s a place full of warmth and growth and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone thinking about joining as a volunteer.
