Gap Year in Thailand
The opportunities for gap year travel in Thailand are many and varied. It’s safe, the Thai people are renowned for their hospitality, the food is amazing and it makes a great starting point for gap year travels in south east Asia. When you take your gap year in Thailand with i-to-i you’ll have the opportunity to work with gap year volunteer projects and gain a more authentic insight into the people and culture of Thailand.
By getting involved with volunteering as part of your gap year in Thailand, you will gain useful experience, meet other gap year travellers and make a real contribution. We have lots of opportunities for gap year volunteering in Thailand, including working with children from the hill tribes of the north, conservation work on the island of Koh Tao and teaching English down on the coast near Bangkok.
