The CEE Thailand Study Tour to Bangkok from 5 to 11 January 2025, offered our CEE UG students a deeply immersive and enriching learning experience. By engaging with professors and students at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), our students gained valuable insights into Thailand's civil engineering advancements, particularly the rapid development of its transportation systems. During the 7-day visit, the group explored an MRT subway construction site, expanded their understanding at a flood diversion project, and visited Benjakitti Forest Park and the ancient temples in Ayutthaya.
In addition to following the itinerary organized by CEE and KMUTT, the students had the opportunity to design a 2-day itinerary themselves. This allowed them to explore the similarities and differences in sustainable civil engineering practices and cultural aspects between Bangkok and Hong Kong, encouraging critical thinking and broadening their perspectives beyond their home city.
We are grateful for the warm hospitality extended by the professors and students of KMUTT. Their kindness and welcoming nature greatly enriched our experience, making the study tour both enjoyable and informative. We believe this experience will inspire our students and enhance their understanding of civil engineering.
