About

Gain unique insight and become immersed in the culture of Thailand’s traditional elephant-keeping communities while contributing to this multi-focused Thailand Wildlife Conservation Short-Term Internship program from Ayyıldız Tim. 

Overview

The Thailand Wildlife Conservation Short-Term Internship from Ayyıldız Tim gives you the opportunity to gain work experience in three different aspects: elephant research, community development (teaching), and biodiversity.

The community development aspect will focus on teaching English to children at the local school, homestay families, and the elephant keepers (mahouts). You will also be involved in supporting community efforts to reduce their financial dependence on their elephants.

  • Living in rural Thailand
  • Help improve education levels and opportunities in the local Karen community;
  • Helping protect Thailand’s diverse environment;
  • Observe a semi wild herd of  elephants in their natural habitat;
  • Meeting people from all over the world;
  • Becoming immersed in several different program areas within the one location;
  • Living within and learning about the fascinating Thai and Karen cultures;
  • Earn your GVI ILM Leadership Development certificate, a qualification recognised by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM)

Programme Structure

  • The biodiversity program involves surveying and identifying reptiles, mammals, insects and birds in the local area using different techniques.
