CEE Thailand Study Tour 2024

The CEE Thailand Study Tour to Bangkok was an immersive and enriching experience for our undergraduate students. By interacting with the professors and students at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), our students gain insights into the civil engineering advancements in Thailand, particularly the swift progression of the country's transport systems and highways during the five-day visit. The group also visited One Bangkok, Rama IX Bridge, Ancient City, and other signature cultural sites.

My study tour in Bangkok was an eye-opening experience. One of the highlights was visiting the Grand Palace, where I was in awe of the intricate architecture and beautiful design. Besides, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of Thai culture through interacting with students from KMUTT. With engaging in meaningful discussions with professionals, the study tour broadened my knowledge on civil engineering. Overall, the study tour in Bangkok was a valuable and unforgettable experience!

My trip to Thailand provided a valuable experience that far surpassed what I could have learnt in a classroom setting. Being able to explore the country first-hand allowed me to appreciate the buildings and temples that are deeply rooted in Thailand’s cultural heritage. Moreover, witnessing the rapid development of Thailand's transport systems and highways was equally remarkable. The bustling streets and markets revealed the colourful and delightful facets of Thai society. Looking back on this trip, I found exploring a foreign country by self-proposed itinerary and navigating through different situations challenging. However, what truly made this journey special were the friendships I made along the way. This experience has left an indelible mark on me, and undeniably etched itself into the pages of my most unforgettable memories.

Their kindness and welcoming nature greatly enriched our experience, making our study tour both enjoyable and informative. We believe that this study tour will inspire our students’ understanding of civil engineering.
