We'll also travel to the northern city of Chaing Mai, to southern Thai beaches, and to the ancient Siam capital of Ayuthaya, a UN World Heritage City. Each program provides immersion in the daily culture of a single place and people. Many Experimenters become engaged in the life of another country through community service or travel, some study the language of their new country, while others explore international ecological problems. Each group is limited to 12 participants. It is a nation of contrasts, dramatic natural beauty, exotic smells, and sophisticated arts.
Thai people are friendly and welcoming.
A constitutional monarchy, Thailand has a king who has provided stability as ruling government parties have changed. Students will experience and study Krabi, Bangkok, the Chao Phraya River, Kanchanaburi, Old Sukhotai, Chiang Mai, Nong Khai and will spend about a week in Laos. GlobalQuest will enhance every student's understanding of themselves, their place in the world, and the world itself. GlobalQuest graduates will approach their college years with an increased understanding of the power of knowledge and with a clearer sense of purpose and responsibility for their own learning. GlobalQuest gives young adults the opportunity to fuse and use the information they have accumulated in school and at home while stepping out of the familiar and finding their way in a foreign culture.
