we have suspended volunteering at the moment outside of highly qualified individuals (such as veterinarians) because of multiple reasons and I mean no disrespect when I say this. The fact of the matter is that we have enough local volunteers at the moment and it can be quite complicated for us to legally get foreign volunteers involved due to a recent crackdown on "volunteer visas."

As crazy as it sounds, it is considered illegal for a foreigner to do any work here, even for free and even if it is for a good cause.

I am sorry if I have given you the wrong impression about that. Soi Dogs is a much larger operation than we are, as is Lanta Animal Welfare and perhaps they have the connections necessary to make this happen.

As much as I appreciate your decision to come and help us, I think that this is where you should reach out. Lanta is a lovely place, I think you might like it there better than Krabi Town, which is where we are located.

I hope this helps and let me know if there is more that I can help with.
