Do you want to immerse yourself in the rich yet often undiscovered culture of Isan, by participating in cultural and adventurous responsible tourism activities with our staff and local people, while volunteering in the area?

     Isan Survivor is an organization, operating in Isan (North Eastern Thailand), which offers the opportunity to experience true Isan culture, by participating in many traditional recreations that can create friendships with the vivacious, loving, beautiful and kind people of this region. A placement in the local community will let you live and interact with the villagers.

Isan people are known far and wide for their unbeatable friendliness and hospitality- another aspect of their remarkable culture! The volunteers can return to their countries, not only with memories, but feeling truly influenced by the honesty and positivity which shines through in the Isan culture.       

We provide the community with the opportunity to develop the skill of English in a supportive and pleasant environment, through interacting with our volunteers. We work closely with a number of local schools and adult education centers, also creating English camps and various learning activities, in order to reach out to a wide range of age groups.
