The objective of this field trip is to help students learn about the traditions and culture of Thailand. In addition, the field trip helps students develop their knowledge, skills, and attitudes, gain a deeper understanding of their chosen profession, and clearly define their career development path for the future. Accompanying the students are two lecturers: Ngo Tuan Thang (Academic Advisor) and Nguyen Trong Chinh.

The students had the opportunity to visit some of Thailand's most famous landmarks and experience the country's unique cuisine in the seaside city of Pattaya and the capital, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (or Bangkok, as it's known internationally). In Pattaya, the group visited several famous tourist attractions such as Wat Phra Yai temple, Coral Island, the Four Parts Floating Market, and enjoyed the Golden Coffee. Additionally, they visited the ancient city of Muang Boran – dubbed "miniature Thailand" with its complex of architectural structures perfectly recreated from the originals, the Venomous Snake Research Center, the Icon Siam – Mother of the Mall shopping center, and had dinner on the Chaopraya Princess cruise ship. These were special, novel experiences that left a strong impression of the Land of the Golden Temples for the international students.

This trip was not only a practical learning opportunity providing students with real-world experiences, enhancing their understanding and awareness of international relations, and improving their professional skills, but also a chance to strengthen the bond between teachers and students in the K65 International Studies class. Although short, the field trip left each student with valuable lessons and lasting memories. Internships and practical training are mandatory components of the International Studies program. Therefore, International Studies students at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities will have the opportunity to travel abroad and see the world. K65 students, register for admission to International Studies to join us on these exciting experiential trips!
