So it was no surprise when CNN's Conde Nast Traveler listed five AmeriSpan location cities in its article rating the top 10 cities to visit in Asia.


Scoring high marks in the categories of Ambience, Friendliniess, Lodging, Restaurants, Culture/Sites and Shopping, the city of Bangkok, Thailand made it to #2 on the list. We agree that it's a great destination for an Asian getaway and would be an incredible journey for any traveler. Thailand is nicknamed "Land of Smiles" with reason; it's a lively and friendly place! Never colonized, Thai culture thrives and lives happily.

Cambodia

Volunteer_cambodia_green_lion_community Ssh!  Travel to Cambodia has become a widely kepy secret among seasoned world travelers.  Why?  Because it's finally recovered from years of political strife and is a tropical oasis!  Volunteers will begin their assignment near Siem Reap, in a village called Samraong, before going to their specific location.  Then they may go on to assist in the areas of healthcare or education.  Cambodia is a beautiful country with a unique culture, but its people could use your efforts!

Volunteer_thailand_green_lion_elephant Volunteering in Thailand may be the perfect thing for you if you love animals, kids, and the beach and want to discover one of the most sought-after countries in Asia!  We have a good variety of placements in Thailand with something for everyone.  You can teach ESL, build social work experience, or help horses or elephants!  Locations are in Phitsanulok, Singburi and neighboring provinces, but all are within reach of the country's world-renowned sandy white beaches!  This is also a great place for those who aren't quite as comfortable practicing a new language with townsfolk; English is more commonly spoken here in the more places than other Southeast Asian countries.
