ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, any form of work, including voluntary work, generally requires a work permit. Although some casual or informal volunteer activities may go unchecked, officially, you need an appropriate visa, such as a Non-O Volunteer visa, and a work permit to legally engage in volunteer work. Many expats engage in volunteer work while holding other long-term visas, but strictly speaking, unpaid work is still considered work under Thai law.
