Thailand: Culture and Communication
Start the new year exploring exotic Thailand! This ten-day study-abroad program will include visits to both the rural mountains of Chiang Mai in the north and the bustling major city life of Bangkok. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the culture and people of Thailand by spending a day taking care of elephants at a sanctuary, taking cooking lessons, visiting many beautiful Buddhist temples, exploring Thai traditional dance at Moradokmai Theatre, shopping at an open market, and enjoying a sunset river cruise in Ayutthaya, the capital of Thailand, then known as the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. In addition, students will have an opportunity to do community service by spending an afternoon teaching English to Thai students and do group painting graffiti.

Student Testimonial
āThis trip to Thailand has been an incredible, immersive experience of Thai culture. From bathing elephants in their habitat at Patara Elephant Farm to learning about Buddhist traditions, every moment has been unforgettable. Weāve also had the perfect balance of structured learning and free time to explore the city on our own, which made the adventure even more meaningful.ā
