SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA - VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
Join a wonderful team in a small private practice in Siem Reap Cambodia as a volunteer for whatever period suits you.
This is an amazing opportunity for an adaptable vet to really make a difference, while experiencing a new culture and amazing tropical climate. Our case-load is mainly cats and dogs with occasional wildlife treatment. Surgical competence is a huge advantage as we currently have an experienced veterinary nurse seeing the consultations, but is unable to provide surgery. This position will require seeing consultations as well as surgery. No previous exotic disease experience is necessary, we can teach you how to recognise these diseases and how to treat them.
Our practice is involved in education, rabies eradication (www.erovaat.org) and other issues that impact human health and animal health/welfare. Help us grow our practice so we can help more patients and contribute more to this beautiful community.
We are currently open Monday-Friday, 9-5, with a lunch break and no on call hours at this time. Enjoy evenings (and lunchtimes) in one of Cambodia’s many hotel swimming pools.
Please click here to see photos!
Siem Reap is a vibrant and fascinating town with a low cost of living. Cambodia is open to travellers with all of the population vaccinated against COVID. Come and see for yourself, we'd all love to meet you! Photo credit for the stunning Angkor Wat temple image: www.danflyingsolo.com
Please contact Jess on Jesskenul@gmail.com with your CV and tell us why you would like to work with us and when you would be able to start.

KOH MAK, THAILAND - SMALL ANIMAL/WELFARE, VOLUNTEERS
COVID-19 UPDATE:
We have remained open full-time and have a dedicated live-in manager. We are consistently in need of veterinary volunteers to maintain our sterilization program and provide emergent care.
About Us:
- We are a small volunteer clinic caring for Koh Mak's stray, temple & owned animals and dedicated to improving their lives since 2016
- We are a Non-Profit organization and rely entirely on donations, volunteers, and sponsorship to carry out our work
- We receive no government funding and rely heavily on the good-will of the local community, tourists, and friends
- We are seeking veterinarians/nurses/techs/students. Specifically veterinary doctors/surgeons for spay/neuter, and with the ability to work independently/unsupervised
The Work:
- Our primary goal is Population Control, through sterilization, vaccination, and education
- We are rabies-free, but we do have Distemper and Parvo. Skin care, mange, heart worm, parasitic control, etc.
- Everyone on our team is responsible for the fundamentals of maintaining our facility: cleaning, poo picking, laundry, etc.
- Veterinary volunteers are responsible for preparing the surgical room, preparing surgical packs, etc. We do not operate on a hierarchy, this is a cooperative environment
- We have an ongoing preventative program, including annual vaccines, monthly topical preventives, grooming, and wellness checks all maintained by our Manager
- Be prepared for emergent/crisis care primarily: car accidents, dog fights, or poisoning. Emergencies are few and far between, but may not be during “work hours”
- We do our best with trapping/catching of strays, within a margin of safety that is reasonable given experience and comfort
- We rarely have a doctor and a nurse/tech together (although this is the ideal pairing). It is necessary for you to be experienced in working unsupervised, and/or have the patience to be able to work with an untrained assistant
Accommodation:
- We have 3 bedrooms with a double or twin bed. These are fan rooms, with shared access of the bathroom, kitchen, and living area. The shared living spaces are indoor/outdoor
- We have NO hot water, NO air conditioning, and NO wifi! Those with hostel or camping experience will have an easier time adjusting to our simple, slow living
- We provide refill drinking water and toilet paper
- You have shared access to our scooters. Gasoline is not included. Bicycles, electric golf carts, and other scooters are available to rent on the island
- If our basic accommodation is not suitable, you are welcome to find paid accommodation nearby. There are discounts for monthly rates
The Island:
- Koh Mak is located in an archipelago of 50+ islands on the far eastern seaboard of Thailand
- We are just off the coast of Cambodia, so the folks who live here come from both Thailand and Cambodia
- We work closely with the island residents, so you will get a chance to see how locals live and experience island life
- We visit our Buddhist temple, caring for the temple dogs or joining meditation
- There is plenty of opportunity for swimming, snorkelling, diving, and kayaking. On land, we have very little elevation so it is suitable for cyclists and runners. There is Muay Thai, tennis, and restaurants and bars
- Transport from Bangkok can be via small plane, taxi, bus, or minibus. The trip by land takes 6 hours, followed by a a 1 hour speedboat
Long-Term Options
We are always open for a vet (and partner if you have) who would appreciate the opportunity to take a sabbatical period, 6, 9, even 12 months off.
Someone who is looking to sink deep into Thai culture, food, language, and island life.Koh Mak is an incredible place to live that has so much to offer on many levels. There is much fulfillment in a small community, time spent in nature, and quiet independence, with much time and space for personal development.
Here is a short movie that shows what we do and who we are looking for.

FOR SALE - VET PRACTICE IN THE KOOTENAY ROCKIES
Is practicing veterinary medicine just a part of your life?
Tired of the urban rat-race?
Want an outdoor lifestyle?
Ever considered emigrating to Canada?
The location:
The practice is located on an acreage on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, nine km north of the village of Kaslo, nestled in the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The geography is dominated by the large, pristine lake and 2000-3000m heavily forested mountains. The area is relatively sparsely populated, and is becoming a haven for urban refugees.
The village of Kaslo has a health centre with 4 physicians, a K-12 school, an ice arena, tennis courts and baseball diamond. A vibrant arts community thrives, with a renowned summer jazz festival on a floating stage.
The real estate:
The practice is located in the bottom floor of a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom 3600 sq ft home built in 1994. A covered breezeway containing a hot tub and storage adjoins the house to an 800 sq ft shop with a kennel building underneath. A 1000 sq ft barn with hayloft is situated in the adjacent fenced pasture land. The buildings are located on a 3-4 hectare parcel of land overlooking a secluded beach on Kootenay Lake.
Please click here to see photos!
The practice:
Established for 26 years, the practice serves the north end of Kootenay Lake, with the next closest practice 75 km to the south. The practice is 95% small animal with some potential for expanded equine work in the area. The clinic has separate bathroom, reception, exam, kennel, treatment, and surgery rooms. Gas anaesthesia, monitors, new CBC and chemistry analyzers,and an older X-ray unit are in use. Grooming and boarding facilities are present. The clientele is loyal and appreciative. Cases requiring referral can be sent to Washington State University vet teaching hospital across the border. Two part-time assistants and a family member are currently employed. Annual gross revenue is in the $600,000 range with a high net due to low overhead costs.
The opportunity:
The home-based practice provides flexibility in time management, allowing a great work/life balance. It would enable the prospective new owner to continue working while raising a family and allow the veterinary practice to be a family affair. The area offers unparalleled and unrestricted access to outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking, ATV’ing, swimming and boating in the summer and skiing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The current owner is planning to retire in the area and is willing to assist in the transition. The priority is to ensure that the community has continued access to veterinary services, so sale of the practice with inventory and equipment without the real estate would also be considered.
