Volunteer in Thailand with Friends for Asia

Chiang Mai, Thailand Group #183

Presenting Friends for Asia, Chiang Mai, Thailand Group #183. This group just finished orientation last Sunday, and started their projects this past Monday. It’s a big group of 22 volunteers and interns from Denmark, Switzerland, USA, France, Canada, Turkey and Chile. There are a fair number of volunteers and interns in this group that will be with us here in Chiang Mai for extended periods of time – 13 weeks, etc. In touching base and chatting with the volunteers and interns in this group over the week, everyone seems to be having a great first week.

We are in the middle of the rainy season here in Chiang Mai. Today, it rained at three different times, with each patch between rain bringing hot sunshine. This bodes well for the farmers of northern Thailand, but can sometimes make commuting back and forth to project sites a bit tricky. However, in these cases, one quickly sees how Thais take all things in stride, with patience, and a smile.
