What type of Volunteer work to do in Thailand

---

Hi

I'm heading to Thailand in Janurary and as i haven't travelling in years i want to start of doing some voluntery work to meet some people and give something back at the same time. I'm thinking of heading North to start with, volunteer for a few weeks and then head into Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. From there i will return to Thailand and head to the Islands for some R&R. Does anyone have any recommendations for volunteer programs? I'm not sure whether to Teach (I have a TEFL qualification, although never used it) work with Elephants or do some sort of conservation project.

I've been given a 3 month sabattical from work, although realistically i think i will need to extend this once i'm travelling as from everything i've read 3 months is not enough time to travel the 4 countries without bypassing some good bits. I'm willing to be flexible and know from past experience you just have to go with the flow.

As i'm travelling alone any good tips would be greatly received.

thanks

Pip
