Education Centre For Community (ECC) At Wat Phrai Phrattana

Education Centre for Community in Sisaket is no ordinary volunteer school. We focus on teaching English to young monks and children from the local village for free to help them escape the harsh reality of poverty. Choosing our project will be a rewarding experience. You will get to learn about Buddhism and Thai culture by living and working amongst the locals.

We are located 75km outside of Sisaket in the countryside (near the border with Cambodia), so you will get to see everything nature has to offer as well as play with some of the many roosters the Temple has. There are various local markets where you can get food and snacks; however, we offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. We also offer Thai boxing classes and meditation with the monks for free. There are various places where you could do yoga or relax.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE!

Please note that ECC is a non-profit NGO, and we do not make any profit from our work. The daily fee requested from volunteers is a donation that helps keep the school running and supports our mission of providing English lessons to children in need. This contribution helps cover the cost of accommodation, meals, and other necessary expenses.

The standard cost for a shared dormitory room is $9 USD per person per day. We also have couple rooms available for couples at $9 USD per person per day. For individuals who prefer more privacy and do not wish to stay in a dorm, we offer private couple rooms at $14 USD per person per day.

Please inform us in advance if you would like to stay in a couple room, as these options are limited. We are also happy to accommodate all diets, including special dietary needs.

Savuth and Savon originally founded ECC in Cambodia 2014 and have been providing a safe space for volunteers to teach children for 10 years. Recently we have expanded to Thailand as there are no English teachers available in these area's. In exchange, we are able to send 25 Cambodian children to the university in Thailand to learn with a free scholarship.

Such a great experience to stay at Wat Phrai Phatthana monastery. Surrounded by Buddhist temples and roosters and living amongst the monks, nuns, and young monks was so peaceful. It was such a special occasion to meditate and have breakfast with the monks and nuns.
ECC will always hold a special place in my heart. It was such an honor to teach English to the young monks and all the kids who were so appreciative and respectful.
So grateful for Channa & Nady who do an amazing job running ECC. This organization is changing the lives of the community and making an impact for the future.

Such an incredible and rewarding experience!!! It was so amazing to be able to live and interact with the local community while also helping to teach English at the school. The kids are AMAZING and it was honestly so so hard to say goodbye. If I didn’t already have a flight back to my home country I would have stayed longer. If you want a true immersive experience that you can contribute to but also learn from, this is it!!!

I had an incredible time. It was a lot of fun teaching the kids. Besides teaching, there were many other great experiences.
Meditating with the monks is fantastic, and the MuaTai with the local teenagers is also something you shouldn't miss. Being in a more rural area also gives you wonderful insights into the local nature and the lives of the people, like probably nowhere else!
Channa is super sweet and helpful, and Nady's food was absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend this to everyone!!

Our 18 days at ECC was truly unforgettable. It was a school holiday, so we got to spend a lot of time with the football boys. And we loved it. We got to focus them a lot, watch and support their games and had a ton of fun doing it. The kids are amazing. The same goes for the munks and local kids and people. Everyone is so welcoming and smiling.
Channa has been so kind and awesome, and always spreads the joy.
