PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Become an English teacher in Luang Prabang, Laos, and create fun lessons for children. Leave unforgettable memories with the passionate children of Luang Prabang and spend time learning the wisdom of a meaningful life. Don’t miss the chance to experience new changes as the children grow!
Make new friends from around the world in Luang Prabang, Laos. Meet friends who have come with passion from various European countries. Although they come from different backgrounds in terms of race, language, culture, and values, we can connect more easily through a shared desire to spread warmth and love.
Enjoy the opportunity to meet new friends and experience a broader world! Not only will your English skills improve through free conversations, but you'll also gain diverse perspectives on the world. As your outlook expands, you'll discover paths to enter a larger world.
English is an essential skill for children living in Luang Prabang. As Laos is a country with a developed tourism industry, if children can communicate freely with foreigners, they will have more job opportunities in the tourism sector. Therefore, spending time with teachers from around the world effectively enhances the children’s English skills. By encountering various types of English from teachers, the children gain rich experiences and confidence, allowing them to fully realize their potential and move towards a bright future.
Participants in the English teaching volunteer program in Luang Prabang will plan their own lessons and try out various teaching styles and ideas. Through creative and free attempts, not only will you gain diverse experiences in the educational field, but it will also help improve leadership and creativity.
Additionally, interacting with volunteers from different countries allows you to experience global education environments and styles, helping you break out of your existing mindset and dream of a broader future. Meet yourself growing as much as the children who grow every day!
Laos is famous for having some of the best-preserved natural environments among Southeast Asian countries. Among them, Luang Prabang is considered one of the most beautiful cities. The entire city is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving its historical appearance, and is surrounded by beautiful mountains, rivers, and green forests, creating a peaceful and modest atmosphere.
Step away from the stress of everyday life and experience a healing time to recharge your energy in Luang Prabang, which has preserved its ancient city fully. Enjoy numerous waterfalls and forests, feel the essence of the ancient city, and gain a sense of inner peace.

The entire city is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the temples scattered throughout the city are filled with history and culture. Experience the beautiful nature, rich heritage, relaxed and friendly people of Luang Prabang on your trip.
The palace where Laos' last king lived is now used as a museum displaying relics of the royal dynasty and Buddhist statues. Due to the influence of French colonial rule, the architectural style blends Lao and French elements, and the museum houses a golden Buddha statue that is 83 cm tall and weighs 50 kg. Discover the Royal Palace Museum for a vivid experience of Luang Prabang's history and culture!
Kuang Si Falls is one of the most famous landmarks in Luang Prabang, a place where you can enjoy beautiful waterfalls and tiered pools. The water is not very deep, so it's common to see people diving and playing in the water. Enjoy the natural beauty of Luang Prabang at Kuang Si Falls, which shines with a vivid emerald color.
The perfect way to fully enjoy the Mekong River in Luang Prabang! Take a Mekong River cruise and watch the sunset. Sunset cruises in Luang Prabang are one of the most sought-after travel routes.
