Bangkok and Phuket

In this magical journey students will be knee-deep in Bangkok’s mangroves, giggling as the mud squishes between their toes while planting baby trees alongside local fishermen protecting Thailand’s “Green Lung.” One moment they’re sketching the shimmering spires of Wat Arun at sunset, the next they’re crushing chilies and lemongrass at the lively “Cooking with Poo” class, laughter mixing with spice in a backstreet kitchen. They’ll try their hand at bargaining in the colorful maze of Chatuchak Market, then swap city buzz for island breeze in Phuket. At the Sea Turtle Rescue Centre, students will learn about sea turtle conservation, observing rescued turtles with a chance to gentle hands clean hatchlings before slipping into the sea to snorkel vibrant reefs filled with darting fish. Adventure kicks in as they zipline through jungle treetops, kayak into hidden caves in Phang Nga Bay, and surf down sand dunes with salt spray in their hair. In the quiet village of Baan Nai Nang, they’ll weave baskets with elders, enjoy homemade curry, and hear how simple leaves can heal the land. As the sun sets, evenings come alive with haggling practice at night markets, dancing on the beach, and stories that stay long after the trip ends. This is Thailand beyond the postcards a journey packed with purpose, play, and unforgettable people.
