Hello All,
I am a U.S. citizen that has travelled to CNX frequently over the years. I am under 50 (46 years old) and retired from the U.S. military. Wish I could simply get a retirement visa but Thailand seems to be sticklers about the age 50 part. I am also a trained paramedic, in the USA, and I have worked in this field around the world....not Thailand.
I usually travel on tourist exempt status visas and do the visa run deal for the 4-5 months that I am there. I am looking to stay for a longer period this time and I would like to volunteer both as a way to utilize some of my time as well as stay under an appropriate visa.
I have reached out (by email) to two ambulance services in Chiang Mai but I have not received a reply. I would like to volunteer in this field, if at all possible. I am posting here in hopes that someone might have a lead or contact that I can start out with.
I am planning on returning to CNX the first week of October and returning to the States in April 2019. I am strictly looking to volunteer and I do not require assistance beyond this. I have transportation, housing and other essentials covered.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Marcel
