Om programmet

In this program, you will have the remarkable chance to engage in the ancient ritual of offering alms to the Monks, which takes place in the morning. This practice holds great significance in Thai culture and Buddhism, symbolizing generosity, respect, and support for the Monastic community. By participating in this ritual, you will not only observe but actively contribute to a time-honored tradition that has been passed down for centuries.

Additionally, in the evening, you will have the opportunity to partake in uplifting meditation and chanting sessions. Meditation is a fundamental practice in Buddhism, offering a pathway to inner peace, mindfulness, and self-discovery. Guided by revered spiritual leaders, you will learn techniques to calm the mind, cultivate awareness, and deepen your connection to the present moment.

In the Thai Buddhism program, you will embark on a cultural immersion journey that delves into the rich traditions and religious practices of Thailand. By actively engaging in various activities, you will gain a profound understanding of Buddhism, have the chance to assist monks in their daily routines, and deepen your own spiritual journey through meditation practices.

During your time in the program, you will visit a temple where knowledgeable monks will share their wisdom and teachings in English. Your assigned coordinator will be available to help overcome any language barriers and provide support throughout your experience.

The program caters to individuals of all levels of experience, whether you are new to Buddhism or have prior knowledge. The daily routine at the temple begins early in the morning with chanting and a meditation session. Following this, you will witness the tradition of alms-giving, where the monks receive offerings from the local community. Afterward, a communal breakfast will be enjoyed at the temple.

Participants will receive an introduction to Buddhism and Thai meditation techniques, followed by guided meditation sessions. You will learn various methods to cultivate mindfulness, such as breath-focused meditation, and explore different postures including sitting, walking, and lying down. This exploration will help you find the posture that best suits your practice.

Lunch is served at around 11:00, as Buddhist monks typically have their main meal during this time and refrain from eating after midday. Participants can choose whether or not to have dinner. In the afternoon, there will be additional meditation practice for 1-2 hours, followed by free time to continue personal meditation or assist with temple chores.

In the evening, there will be chanting and meditation sessions with the monks, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere. After the practice, you will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and ask questions directly to the monks, deepening your understanding of Buddhism.

Who we are

Global Nomadic empowers positive change by connecting people with projects

Global Nomadic was founded in 2008 with one clear goal – to empower change by connecting people. We believe real change can only come about when people are able to find the right opportunities with the right organisations. Over the past years, we have grown to offer high-quality international internships in a wide range of professional fields, but our aim is still the same; connecting people with projects.

We provide aspiring young professionals with exactly what is needed to set them apart in the very competitive world we live in. We exist to help you further your career through educational international work experience placements, but also to help NGOs around the world carry out their community-building work, by connecting them with you. By working with local NGOs, charities, and communities you will gain excellent experience and valuable skills, aiding you to further your ambitions – whilst making a difference where it’s needed most.

This world is not a perfect place – and we don’t claim to be able to fix it. But what we can do is provide a bridge between you and the people who can. Our mission is to work towards a better and more stable world by connecting people with projects. We believe we work better together than apart. We believe travel and exposure to other cultures, beliefs and ways of life are the best ways to achieve this. We believe you can travel the world and travel your career.

What we do

We provide access to vetted, worthwhile international internships in a wide range of professional fields.

We work in a range of different fields from veterinary medicine and environmental conservation to journalism, public health, business development and education – matching you with reputable, worthwhile organisations around the world. Unlike many other volunteer organisations, we have personally visited and vetted our project partners, to ensure you a safe and worthwhile international experience.

We also choose to only work with partners whose projects contribute to their local community in a sustainable manner. We do not support, nor advocate orphanage tourism or irresponsible wildlife conservation projects. Our aim is to help our project partners focus on their core work by offering an easy way to find committed interns and volunteers to support their daily activities.

Our volunteers

Global Nomadic is a trusted community meeting space connecting people with NGO projects around the world.

We also offer helping you to source and organise the best flights, insurance, visas and all the many other things you will need before you reach your project destinations, including country guides, packing lists and much more! We want to make sure that you have the volunteering time of your life.

Global Nomadic personally visits all volunteer sites to ensure a quality experience for volunteers. You will receive support before, during and after your placement.
