1. I am planning
a trip to Thailand and am wondering which is the best time to come
weather wise. When is the hot season and when is the cool season?
Because Thailand
is located in the tropics, you will find the weather here will
be quite warm most of the time, with "cool" being a
relevant term. The hot season is from March - May with temperatures
ranging from 27C-38C. The cool season is between November and
February with temperatures ranging 15C- 32C.
2. Is it
safe to drink the water in Thailand?
We recommend
that you only drink bottled water (affordable and available everywhere)
or water that is boiled.
3. My friend
and I are traveling to Thailand soon and we have some extra time
on our hands. Can we stop by a ministry location and volunteer for
a while?
It all depends
on the location and what they have going on. We would ask that
you first contact the National
Office administrator first prior to coming.
4. How much
do YWAM Thailand staff get paid?
All YWAM staff
worldwide are volunteers and do not receive a salary of any kind.
(But the fringe benefits are awesome!)
5. What does
it mean to be "short term volunteer"? How long is short
term and what is required of me?
A "short
term" staff person by definition, is any person who comes
to volunteer with us for 1 month up to 1 year. These people don't
necessarily have to be "YWAMers" and a completed DTS
is not required. If you are interested in applying with YWAM Thailand
"short term" click

6. What does
the term "long term" staff mean?
Being a long
term staff with YWAM Thailand means coming to volunteer with us
for longer than 1 year. It also means that you have completed
BOTH phases of the DTS - the lecture phase and the outreach phase.
Once accepted as YWAM Thailand staff, you will begin a "Culture/Language
Internship" which last 18-24 months. In that time, you will
begin studying Thai and learning to live in your new Thai surroundings.

7. Why are
the sunsets so pretty in Bangkok?
They say it's
the smog that gives us our beautiful sunsets! If you are interested
