Multidisciplinary Studies at the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok,Thailand

About the program

Thailand…the very name evokes images of a distant land! It is one of the unique cultures in the world. You will experience a gentle mix of modernity and tradition.

You will have experiences that most people only dream about - visiting the ancient Buddhist temples and palaces in Bangkok, taking an elephant safari in the tropical jungles of Chiang Mai, and exploring the environmental impacts of tourism and industrial development in the Southern coastal areas near Phuket.

Journey to the Kingdom of Thailand and learn about its people and culture, and gain hands-on experience with the challenges of development. This will be the greatest adventure of your life.
