Overview

Participants have the opportunity to study and analyze a considerable body of knowledge under the supervision of recognized experts in the field.

They can come to appreciate what it is to be Thai in the context of Thailand’s rapidly changing economy, society, and cultural life. As the twenty-first century unfolds, a revaluation of Thai values and Thai worldview – indeed, “Thainess” in all its various aspects – is explored and investigated.

The Thai Studies program from Chulalongkorn University should be of great value to those who have to deal regularly with Thai government agencies, companies and individuals, and to those who would like an integrated knowledge of all aspects of Thai culture.
