Why work in hostels for free accommodation in Thailand?

Thailand is the travel hub of Southeast Asia and a great destination for first-time backpackers. You will meet interesting people from all over the world! Also, in the same country you can find forests, beaches, temples, diving spots, delicious local food, parties for all tastes. This broad range of activities comes at reasonable prices, if you know where to look. Actually, travelling to Thailand is cheap for most visitors, but it can become even cheaper if you exchange work for accommodation.

What are the jobs for backpackers in Thailand?

Thailand is one of the best destinations for work exchange! In such a small country you can learn about Buddhism helping as a volunteer in a temple, go crazy working in a party hostel or still, relax and enjoy some quiet time by the beach. It’s hard to pick one, isn’t it? You can also do work exchange as a video-maker, bartender, kitchen hand or language teacher. What are your best skills? Start a worldpackers profile and use them in your favor!

How to find work exchange programs in Thailand?

You can use Worldpackers to exchange work for accommodation in Thailand. Check out as many hosts as you like, for free! The hosts can be sorted by type of activity, like social or eco project, surf camp and others. Another way is to select a host by the skills they ask in a volunteer. Your skills should be listed in your profile. Remember: use your profile to show your best self to the world! Be honest, clear and positive. You will be able to apply for as many positions as you like by becoming a member of the Worldpackers community.
