What Families write about Volunt2Thai
Volunt2Thai – An Absolute Recommendation for Families!
Before we became part of the Volunt2Thai project for one month in January 2026, we had spent many years traveling through Thailand with our backpacks – and more recently with our two children (5 and 7 years old). We always believed we knew this country, its people, and its culture very well. But it was only after our time with Raimund, the founder of Volunt2Thai, and his family that we truly did.
Volunt2Thai offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and rural life of the “real” Thailand. For us as a family, participating in this project has been the most valuable and enriching experience we have ever had.

Even before our arrival, communication with Raimund was quick and uncomplicated. Throughout our entire stay, it was very important to him that we felt comfortable. He was always approachable and present. Through the close connection with him and his children, we quickly felt like part of a big family ourselves. Mutual support in everyday (family) life, shared excursions, playing games (board games we brought, basketball, football, boxing), cooking, eating, and spending evenings together made us feel welcome, safe, and at home. Even shared cleaning and tidying activities strengthened the sense of community.
There is always something to do on campus, but there is also space to retreat and enjoy some personal time. “Me-time” definitely doesn’t get lost. There are also many sweet and cuddly cats on campus – a special joy for children.
The time spent in the different schools, which Raimund visits daily with the volunteers, quickly became part of our routine. Teaching English brought joy both to us and to the students. In coordination with the local teachers and Raimund, it is always possible to design lessons in different ways. In addition to traditional classroom teaching, we played many games and worked in small groups for conversation training. Anyone bringing creative and educational ideas is welcome to put them into practice.
Our children were easily integrated into daily school life and were welcomed with great openness by the students. Both sides benefited enormously from this exchange.
