Internship in Thailand by Asia Internship Program

Great experience and AIP was extremely helpful in ensuring our safety and welfare. They go beyond office hours to ensure that the interns are coping and managing well in a foreign country. It has been a wonderful experience thanks to the great AIP team that made this expensive an unforgettable one. The service they provided was also extremely fast and prompt, they make sure all problems are solved almost instantaneously. Most importantly, they make sure that the intern feels safe and very welcomed.

I did 3 months internship in software development as a recent graduate (not a student anymore). I got myself the cheapest package (which is already expensive if you are not from a rich family) but you can get some entrance discount and also there was a discount if you pay the deposit within 24 hours after being accepted (I needed to ask for the discount, they didn't give it automatically).

AIP found a company that exactly matched my requirements. A small company (around 10 people) near the center of Bangkok. The interview was very easy, and both sides accepted each other right away.

After paying the final price, I got all the necessary documents for the visa - this was quite complicated as different people from AIP said different information about applying for the visa. I had plenty of time, and I successfully got my internship visa for 90 days in 3 weeks.

Everyone in AIP was very nice and helpful, but sometimes it took them too long to reply - or I had to send more messages/emails to get the answers. During my time there, we had a WhatsApp group, and they helped me with many things, even not related to the internship.

If you go through everything on their webpage or social media, you might get too high expectations and be prepared that you might end up as disappointed as me. All the hype - that you will find their friends, contacts, and companies might offer you to stay working full-time -> you will need to be very lucky to achieve that. Especially in programming branches. I've found out that it is very common for programmers who are very quiet, introverted, and normally don't talk at work place together. In the office where I did the internship, people usually didn't say "hi" when entering. They just walked in, changed shoes, sat at the desk with a computer, and worked until lunchtime. During lunchtime, most of them were playing on their phones, and they didn't discuss something about their not-work-related activities or anything. After lunch, again, just quietly work till the end of the work day - actually usually even longer. Of course, they were helpful if I asked for help. Someone always helped me and explained the possible solutions to my problem.
I gained some work experience but not friends or some nice memories (related to work place and my colleagues).
After a week of coming back home, I felt like nothing like that ever happened.

But to rate AIP - they did a good job, they also tried to encourage me when I was feeling too lonely, they bought me a cake for my birthday and we went for karaoke together. Without them, I won't be able to find a good company and get a visa. But I will take one star off the rating for setting my expectations too high (ending up so disappointed), the chaos about visas, and forgetting to respond to my messages from time to time.

AIP facilitated and helped me secure a 5-week internship in Bangkok. It has been an eye-opening experience to work overseas and immerse myself in Thai culture. AIP helped with my visa application, company interview and gave great and affordable accommodation recommendations that allowed me to experience local life.

Thanks to Nisha, Kate and Herlyn for the onsite support, and for arranging bonding sessions with the other interns! Highly recommend to anyone looking for overseas exposure or internships :)

AIP was incredibly helpful in facilitating my overseas internship experience! They took care of all the complex and often confusing processes, making everything feel seamless and stress-free. From visa arrangements to accommodation and logistical support, they were there every step of the way, ensuring everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend AIP to anyone looking to gain international exposure. Their expertise and support provide invaluable peace of mind throughout the entire experience!

I concluded my 5-week internship smoothly and successfully, all thanks to AIP and their amazing team—Nisha, Herlyn, and Kate—for their unwavering support and guidance throughout the journey. AIP made the process seamless, from providing a variety of housing options to suit different preferences, to organizing a helpful crash course on the country’s culture that prepared us well before the trip. They even held a bonding session, allowing us to connect with other participants in the program. The overall experience was enriching and well-organized, and I would definitely recommend AIP to anyone seeking a meaningful internship abroad!

My internship program with AIP was an absolutely incredible experience that I will always cherish. From the very beginning, everything went smoothly—the application process was straightforward, and I felt supported every step of the way. Securing my internship placement was quick and efficient, which allowed me to plan and prepare everything well in advance with confidence.

Upon arriving in Bangkok, Thailand, the experience only got better. The transition was made effortless thanks to the amazing support from the AIP team. I want to extend a heartfelt special mention to Herlyn, Kate, and Nisha, whose dedication, guidance, and constant support truly stood out. They were always there to ensure that everything went as planned, quickly addressing any questions or concerns I had and making me feel welcomed and valued throughout my journey. Their commitment to creating a positive experience for interns is unmatched, and I am so grateful for everything they’ve done.

During my internship, I gained invaluable experiences that have not only advanced my professional development but also enriched my personal growth. These moments of learning, challenge, and self-discovery have shaped me into a better version of myself and will undoubtedly help me achieve my future career goals.

Going abroad alone is challenging, and working there makes it even more difficult. So, having the confidence that someone has your back and is helping you with all the significant details to make your internship a better experience is invaluable.

Of course not everything is about work on the internship, so I got the opportunity to travel and meet new people, eat new dishes, and get to know an incredible culture

Thank you so much, Nisha, Kate, and Herlyn, for making this experience more manageable.

I can wholeheartedly say that the three months I spent in Thailand were some of the most exciting and enriching that I’ve ever had. To anybody on the fence about going - just do it. You will be placed with a company tailored towards your studies and interests, and the personal development you will gain from challenging yourself will prove invaluable both professionally and personally.

If you have the time, I recommend that you stay for 3 months. This will give you enough time to learn a lot, experience daily life in Bangkok and as well give you some time to travel around Thailand and even the neighbouring countries.
