My one-month exchange at MUIC was one hell of an experience. From learning Thai language and culture to exploring local markets, temples, and discovering hidden gems, brought something new every day. It was the warmth of the people, and unforgettable activities that made this exchange an experience I'll always treasure.

The MUIC Summer Program was truly a transformative journey. From exploring ancient temples to immersing in rich cultural traditions, every experience was a profound lesson in connection and identity. Being part of the program also revealed a version of myself I hadn't encountered before. It was a time of many firsts, each one broadening my perspective and enriching my personal growth. Looking back, I realize that learning about Thailand wasn't just about its past or present—it was also about discovering more of myself.

During the summer programme at MUIC, the teachers were very interactive and the classes were lively and interesting. I learned the Thai language and culture, which was a wonderful way for me to understand and integrate more into the local Thai environment. At the same time, I met people from all over the world and experienced Thai religion and food, and it was a joyful time that will be a very precious and unforgettable experience in my life.

This course was very fun and I enjoyed learning Thai language. It was nice that there were also many other activities they brought us to do and many interesting places we saw during this trip. The friends I made there were very memorable as well. I hope to get the opportunity to do something meaningful like this again in the future.

Signing up for MUIC was honestly one of the best choices I've made in uni. Getting the chance to study, live, and experience life in Thailand—my favorite country to visit—felt like a dream come true. At first, I was a little nervous since I signed up alone and didn't know anyone, but the student helpers and staff were super welcoming and always there when we needed help. The excursions were such a nice break from the busy city life, and it was amazing to soak up the Thai culture firsthand. I'd definitely recommend this summer program to anyone thinking about it—you won't regret it!

I am Ryan, a Year 3 Computer Engineering student from NTU, and I had the privilege of spending a month on exchange at MUIC. The programme allowed me to immerse in Thai culture, gain conversational Thai, and connect with international peers and fellow NTU students. Beyond academics, I enjoyed Bangkok's vibrant city life, riverside activities in Nakhon Pathom, and the unique charm of Salaya life — from quiet campus days to the food street opposite the university with its endless local choices. These experiences deepened my appreciation for harmony, sustainability, and cultural diversity. I am truly grateful for this journey.

My summer programme experience at MUIC has been truly life changing. Even though it lasted only one month, the planning team organized so many activities that were perfect for international students, and the timing could not have been better. The lecturers and staff were very kind and warm-hearted, always assisting us with our concerns both inside and outside the classroom, and I really appreciated their support. Since coming to MUIC, I have been encouraging all my friends to experience Thailand's culture, as I think the people there are the kindest among all the countries I have visited. Thank you, MUIC, for all the hospitality. Special thanks to Pi Por and Pi Bow for making the sign-up process seamless and for replying to us almost instantly whenever we needed help.
