Who will meet me in airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss my flight? When should I arrive?
IFRE's first week of language and cultural program is conducted in Bangkok . Volunteers are suggested to arrive at Suvarnabhumi International Airport . Definitely, one of our representatives will wait for you at the airport. Please make sure of this by taking care to send your flight information to our offices, a follow-up call is suggested as departure date approaches.
If you get delayed or miss your flight, please call our office or coordinator and wait for him. If, again, you get lost, go to the contact hotel using a Taxi service. Address of contact hotel is available in the placement sheets and pre-departure booklet. Once you meet our representative or coordinator, you will be transferred to our offices and onto your host family where you will meet staff members and fellow volunteers.
Volunteers coming to Thailand are advised to arrive one day before their program start date. The program fee will cover expenses beginning of the first day of the program (Usually first or third Monday) to the last day of the program. If you arrive before the first day of the program and/or stay beyond the last day of the program, expenses will be the responsibility of the volunteer (usually $30 per day for room/food in hostel).
