Moei Thailand operates in and around the border town of Mae Sot in Tak Province, northern Thailand. It works with refugees and migrants from Myanmar.
Because Moei is based in Mae Sot, many of the people participants meet are from the Karen ethnic group.
However, participants also come into contact with migrants from other ethnic groups in Myanmar.

- Mae Sot
Mae Sot is in Tak Province, which is situated just a few miles from the Burma border. Most of the schools MOEI works with can be reached on a daily basis from Mae Sot — either by bike or by songtaew (line-car). Teachers at these schools generally stay in hotels and guesthouses in Mae Sot — though some occasionally stay at their schools. A few teachers both work and live at schools that are several hours from Mae Sot.
Mae Sot is a reasonably large border town, it has everything you need for your time volunteering, it also has quite a few restaurants and bars.
- Free time and days off
You’ll have plenty of time during the weekends and public holidays to explore the rest of the country. Chiang Mai & Bangkok are favorite places for volunteers to visit at least once – you can check out the temples, hike, shop, relax and enjoy the nightlife.
Every evening you’ll have time to explore Mae Sot and what it has to offer. There are lots of different restaurants to try and some fun night markets too. You’ll meet other volunteers, NGO workers and travelers when you’re out and about in the city.
