About internet access, a local SIM card (usually costing around 10-15 euros) works just fine in the area and provides enough high-speed internet for work. I often share a hotspot from my phone to work because I travel a lot. Additionally, WiFi will be provided in the accommodation. Free Time Activities: - Explore Lampi Waterfall - Enjoy cycling and hiking within the park. - Participate in local cultural activities and excursions. - Explore nearby attractions like Phuket, Phi Phi Island, and Krabi.

My name is Swiss, I'm running an Eco-Tourism/Volunteering focused project and I’m looking for like-minded travelers who want a holiday retreat while also contributing to the community to join me for a Volunteering Trip at the National Park in Phang Nga, Thailand.

We will stay in a shared-house provided by a National Park where we will spend several hours a day engaging in hands-on conservation efforts, aiding in turtle care, environmental cleanup, and data collection. Tasks vary to match current needs, including creating educational signs and conducting wildlife surveys. About the Park: Khao Lampi-Hat Thai Mueang National Park, located in Thai Mueang District, Phang Nga Province, is a 5-star beach recognized by the Pollution Control Department, Water Quality Management Bureau, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. This park features an unspoiled ecosystem, natural beauty, tranquility, and is largely untouched by tourism. The nearby beach is about 40 meters wide and 14 kilometers long, featuring clean, white sand, tranquility, and various coastal plants. It is a nesting site for sea turtles and a habitat for numerous bird species.

During these months, you’ll have the unique chance to support the park’s efforts to monitor turtle nesting. Some nights, volunteers will join park staff in surveys to locate and document turtle nests, following tracks on the beach that may extend until early morning, sometimes as late as 3 a.m. This is a rare opportunity to be part of the turtle conservation process during the critical hatching season.
