Khao Tao / Hua Hin, Thailand

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Khao Tao and Hua Hin sit side by side on Thailand's Gulf coast, roughly 200 kilometres south of Bangkok in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. Hua Hin is one of Thailand's oldest and most established beach resorts, long favoured by the Thai royal family, and is known for its wide sandy beach, seafood night markets, golf courses, and relaxed pace compared to the busier resort towns of the south. Khao Tao, just a short distance further south, is a quieter fishing village with a more laid-back atmosphere, a scenic hilltop temple, and a small locals' beach that draws travellers looking to escape the crowds. Together they make a popular weekend getaway and longer retreat for those exploring the upper Gulf coast.

Thailand Animal Welfare Volunteers – Self-Launched Edition

This self-launched equivalent lets you volunteer with stray animals in Hua Hin province, Thailand — without paying a commercial programme fee. Instead of booking through Gap 360, you can apply directly to local animal welfare NGOs in the Hua Hin / Khao Tao area (such as the Thai Animal Guardians Association or similar registered charities), source your own budget accommodation 150m from Sai Noi Beach, and arrange your own airport transfer from Bangkok. You'll save hundreds of pounds while still contributing meaningfully to animal welfare. Costs below are estimated per person for a 14-day stay and cover accommodation, food, local transport, and a direct donation to the project. All figures are approximate.
