 There was nothing for you?

No Problem! Tell us what you would like to do in our factory and maybe we can make a project out of that!

All projects are normally for 3 up to 6 months of an internship!

 A great team!

You will get in touch with our local workers and so you do not only learn how to work at our factory but also to live the Thai culture.

 Working where other make holidays!

Our factory is based in Khao Lak, Thailand (click here to see where it is in google maps). It is one of the most stunning areas in Thailand to have a holiday. Not yet as crowded as for example Phuket, Samui or other Tourism areas, yet it's is a nice little community just 1.5 hours north of Phuket Airport.

 Surfing!

The factory is a mere 2.5km away from the beach and although Thailand is not generally known for its surfing culture or even waves, this little area is a bit of an outliner.

 This is not a paid internship!

There will be no salary for this internship, but we will cover your accommodation (at least the main part depending on your accommodation and your wishes). Anyway you will receive a certificate about your internship.

On the weekends you are free to spend your time as you want to. Relaxing on the beach, going surfing, weekend trips to another city, island or sightseeing.

IF there are waves you surf...

What about my accommodation?

We will organize an accommodation for you. Up to a certain amount we will cover the costs for your accommodation. We will rent one in agreement with you, so we will find something you like and eventually you will have to pay a part per month for the accommodation then too.

What do I have to bring for my accommodation?

Depending on the one you choose, you will probably don't have to bring anything except of towels and your own stuff. If you take a cheaper one you might have to get your own bedsheets and dishes. But don't worry about your luggage, we can buy them in Thailand and old internships have also left some stuff for the next ones.

Is there a dress code for working?

There is no dress code. Outside it is always warm, but in the office we have air-condition so there it is comfortable cool and depending on your place in the office you might bring something to cover your arms (it can be quite cold too).

Do I need an adapter for charging my phone or laptop?

The electricity in Thailand is 220 volts. 50 cycles/sec. They accommodate both flat prongs (like in the U.S. and Japan) and round prongs (like much of Europe and Asia). So german devices won't need an adapter for example.

Is it better to bring money from home (Baht)?

You can get money in Thailand at the ATMs. Just make sure that your debit card is free for other countries. If you have problems with withdrawing cash with your card, do not choose an amount but select the option "withdraw" and then the system will ask you which kind of account you have, there you go and select "savings" and the problem should be solved. 

Bringing money e.g. Euro to Thailand and exchange it here would be the best option, because if you get the money from the ATM you have to pay 220 Baht fee + a bad exchange rate. The exchange rates at the exchange office are better than the ones you will get at the ATM.

What kind of medicine should I bring with me?

You should definitely bring the medications you use in your normal day life like something for headaches etc. Besides of that it won't be wrong to have something for your stomach if you are not used to the Thai kitchen. Also don't forget something for cooling mosquito bites.

Where can I wash my cloths?

There are many laundry services around. For a full basket with mixed cloths it will cost around 200 Baht (5€).
