Volunteer work is helpful and rewarding. Please, be more than just a tourist and do some volunteer work. Chiang Mai Province is just the place. Many trekking companies offer volunteer opportunities while on treks. Spend an extra day in a minority village laying pipes or teaching at the school. It all helps the people and their lives, especially in these minority villages. I helped lay down pipes and build a water tank, as well as being volunteer English/Thai teacher. You can also volunteer in a Thai town outside of Chiang Mai. This is also an amazing experience because you get to experience the Thai people and children. You can also help by doing some labor volunteer work if you want to. Wats are almost always in need of some help and if you want to do an actual project there are companies that can help you too.
