Culture
There is a great cultural divide between the Bangkok urban area and the more conservative and rural regions of northern Thailand.
Travelers should be respectful around important Buddhist temples and shrines, should avoid wearing shorts or sleeveless shirts at temples or religious sites, and also avoid touching locals on the head or hair, as the head is the most sacred part of the body in Buddhism.

Strategic Partners
Adventures Thailand Base
The Adventures Base in Thailand works to build relationships with locals and host and disciple teams that come through. The team runs a public hostel and works alongside outside ministries to bring Kingdom in Chiang Mai, as well as building relationships and pouring into the community.
Fountain of Hope
Fountain of Hope works in the villages of northern Thailand. Their vision is to create an environment in which children are cared for and brought up with Christ. Their goal is to help educate and love them, so they will grow to be leaders in the tribal communities and teach the love of Jesus while being self-sustainable in their lives. Our teams help with educating the children and stay with the villagers to become a part of their lives while sharing God’s love through action.
Thai Family
This Thai family works to educate the younger generations of Thailand. Our teams typically help teach English at the local schools. Learning English is vital for the future of the local children, and also opens up the opportunity to build relationships with the children and other teachers.
