Volunteer

Thank you for contacting our farm to volunteer.

Where to start?

As a volunteer, you should always contact a host using the official Workaway website. For your own safety. There are strange people out there both hosts and volunteers. So if you disappeared, at least Workaway will know where you were last seen. Here is my profile: https://www.workaway.info/en/host/232919129847

**** Very Serious Rules ****

1. Please do not loan your money to any of the staff. You will likely not get your money back, and the staff will be fired.

I never had a case until 2 cases this month in June. It is illegal for me to deduct his pay to cover his loan.

2. Do not borrow or rent the staff’s scooter or motorcycle. They usually do not have 1st person coverage. If something happens, which usually does, you will end up paying for your own injury and damage to the scooter.

Now back to volunteering….

VISA:

Please always get a tourist VISA. For some countries, it is a 90 or 30 days tourist visa on arrival. For most, you must apply at a Thai Embassy in your country. Some will give 30 days, some will give 90 days.

WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT ASK FOR is a “Volunteer VISA” or something called an “none immigrate VISA O” It is researched for NGO personnel working in Thailand. These people entered under the sponsorship of an NGO.

Our farm is not NGO nor anything close to it.

Our farm has an official page on Facebook: https://facebook.com/tantaifarm/

Our farm GPS location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pZTGRMc7MCd165AB9

Quick Direction:

1. Take a train to Pak Chong train station
2. Take a Motorcycle taxi (300 THB each) or pick-up taxi (400 THB/Trip) to my farm. 3. Say “Tantai Farm”, if he does not know, give him my number.
