    Food and Accommodation

    Photograph of AV accommodationExperience rural Thai life

    Your house will be situated on the school grounds, or nearby, giving you the chance to experience rural Thai life. An important part of the AV experience is living locally, shop at the markets, and help where you can. The house itself will probably have a bedroom(s), a communal/cooking area and somewhere to wash. Electricity is intermittent at best, and your house will probably have a typical Asian loo. Wherever you will be staying, you will grow to love it and soon feel very much at home!

    We encourage independence you will be doing your own washing, buying your food in nearby markets and prepare meals, a food allowance is provided by AV. Lunch is normally cooked by the school.  This is the best way of getting to know people, being involved in the community and gaining an understanding of living there – you are not a bystander watching from afar.

    You will need to boil water from a local source or buy bottled water.
