Itinerary:
A great opportunity to be a part of this Royal Project initiated
by the King. You will not only learn about how to conserve endangered sea life
but also have a good time on the pristine beach of Ao Kung Krabaen.
Day 1: Bangkok – arrival transfer
Arrival joint-transfer. Our well experienced guide will provide
you with some useful tips for exploring the city and give you some ideas idea of
what you could do on your tour.
Day 2: Bangkok – an orientation tour – learn Thai
(B/-/-)
Today is a tour on foot! The aim is to ensure that you see as
much as possible of the everyday life of Bangkok and its people, and what better
way to do that than to combine your walk with as many different modes of public
transport as possible. Stops on the tour will normally include some interesting
temples, a flower market and Little India or Chinatown.
Then spend time to learn Thai in an informal atmosphere. You will
have lessons that start with simple words and conversation, just enough to get
by, and then more specific words that you will need for to the project you are
joining. Then go out to try it in real-life situations, such as a local market,
taking your own transport and trying to bargain for things by yourself.
Day 3: Bangkok – Chantaburi – Kung Krabaen Bay –Royal Sea
Sanctuary Project (B/-/-)
Take a pubic air-conditioned bus to Chanthaburi and then with
local pick-up truck continue to Kung Krabaen Bay. Meet the staff for orientation
of the project and see in which areas you can best be of assistance.
Dasy 4-12: Royal Sea Sanctuary Project
(-/-/-)
Though the project was an initiative of the King’s, it still
cannot run independently. The main problem is a lack of capable people who have
a good understanding about marine life and are willing to give their time to the
project. Your input in this will play an important role to the project’s
success.
Opportunities for you to help include: the sea life study
project, conservation projects, the Sea-crab Bank project,
the survey-diving project,
teaching (to educate the local people), IT (to help with
websites, exhibitions, demonstrations, etc) and hospitality assistance (greeting
and showing around other foreign visitors).
Remark:
Unlike tourist attractions, the
activities of community services projects may vary considerably. Therefore we
reserve right to adjust the program or even change the location, even after we
have advised a confirmation, due unforeseen developments. However the same
concept will be well maintained.
You will be free during weekend
and public holidays. The coordinator will help you with information to plan your
own traveling during this free time.

After saying farewell to your colleagues at the project return to Bangkok by
