Semester in Thailand

  Thailand
  • Bangkok: 
  • Bangkok

Term: Fall, Spring 
Dates: Spring: January - April and Fall: September - December

Description: Travel across the globe and spend the semester in Bangkok, Thailand at Mahidol University. Experience everything Thailand has to offer from its beautiful beaches in the south to its exotic jungles in the north. The relaxing semi-rural setting, within easy reach of central Bangkok, makes it an ideal setting for studying in tranquility without losing out on the myriad of cultural, sightseeing and entertainment opportunities available in the city, famously popular with international travelers. Thailand is a natural gateway not only to Southeast Asia, but also to the entire Pacific Rim. Fascinating, energetic, and friendly, Bangkok is most importantly a gracious host to visiting international students.

There is more visible historical evidence of past eras in Thailand than in any other South-East Asian country, so if you're interested in ruins, temples and deserted cities, this is the place to go. For pure holiday-making magic, Thailand's islands and beaches are working definitions of heaven (once you get out of the shadows of the evil multinational hotels). And as for urban delights, the huge metropolis of Bangkok, although it can alarm with its chaos and its scale, tends to so charm visitors with its energy and cultural treasures that the steamy soupy diesel mixture that passes for air in this city is more than forgiven.

Thailand is an easy country to travel in, with efficient transport, cheap accommodation and a delicious national cuisine. The Thais are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality to strangers. Although they're often depicted as fun-loving, happy-go-lucky folk (which they often are), they are also very strong-minded and have struggled for centuries to preserve their spirit of independence.

"Thailand is the perfect combination of the emerging modern world meeting with rural charm and culture. Some would probably call Bangkok the world's largest village. If you are looking for friendly people, colorful culture, wonderful food then the Land of Smiles will surprise you."   - Jason Coppage
