Full Itinerary
Do you love the beach? Do you love animals? Then why not help support this project and enjoy Thailand's Gulf coast while helping to sustain its turtle population.

The current stock of turtles in Thai waters is in desperate need of replenishment. The Rayong Turtle Conservation Project looks after baby turtles during their most vulnerable period, up to 12 months old. Once a turtle reaches 12 months it has outgrown all its natural predators. Did you know the success rate of a turtle egg hatching and reaching adulthood is just 1 in a 1000.

Wildlife Protection
Each day you will travel with your fellow volunteers to Koh Mannai island. The island is a 15 minutes boat ride. Once on the island you will provide assistance to the Thai staff. Tasks include feeding and administering medicines to the turtles living the hatchery, cleaning their tanks, helping maintain the island's facilities and acting as a guide to the tourists which arrive almost daily.

This is a fascinating placement where you will learn so much about these beautiful creatures. More so, you will be living and working with the local community, and learning so much about Thailand and its people.

Volunteer Travel
Volunteers work a 4 day week and have the long weekend to explore locally or further afield. Along with living minutes from the beach there other islands on Thailand’s Gulf Coast to explore. Ko Samet is the nearest by Ko Chang is reachable. Please email if you have any questions about this placement.

This project has a maximum capacity of four volunteers at any one time. This project can be fully booked as much as six months in advance. If you are serious about coming along make contact soon to save disappointment later.
