That's awesome! I've looked at his blog a few times before and it is truly wonderful what their organization does. We have similar orgs up here in Chiang Mai and I tried to volunteer but they are very strict in Chiang Mai and I had to get a special visa just to donate my time. Something about how my volunteering could be taking a job away from a Thai person.

Things are kind of bureaucratic like that here too, but it's okay to volunteer while on work visa, but a big no-no to work on a volunteer visa. Well, the last few years have nearly crushed international NGOs in Cambodia, and now the longest visa a volunteer can get is 3 months, so basically you have to commit to a multi-day trip to Phnom Penh 4 times a year, very inconvenient and discouraging.
I agree, our man in Krabi is a legend, and it's obvious he loves his work.
