Internship in Thailand by Asia Internship Program

AIP has done so much for me that I don't even know where to begin. I've always wanted to travel to Thailand seeing that I've never had exposure to their culture before and just hearing travel stories from my friends made me even more interested in the country. Ever since I was born, I always considered myself as an efficient person. I like to complete my tasks and goals as fast as I could. So I thought, why not travel to Thailand for both a vacation and an internship, hitting two birds with one stone. I applied to AIP and started my internship journey with them. The respectable thing about AIP is that they didn't only help me find an internship that could boost my professional experience, but they also advised me on places to go and visit so that I can experience the culture all around. Because of this, I've had the opportunity to visit many places and capture memories that will surely never be forgotten. It's insane that its been a while since this particular experience but I remember it like it was yesterday. Really grateful for everything and I'm looking to apply to AIP again when I choose to go to Indonesia next!

I remember it like it was yesterday. Being able to travel to Thailand despite the global pandemic felt unreal and impossible and yet, I still made it. This experience itself literally made me fall in love with Bangkok and I can now see myself settling here when I retire. I've had the opportunity to even do networking which is a great hobby of mine. I am now back in the US but once the dust settles, I will be coming back here to pursue my professional career here. The people, the culture, the food, everything about Thailand just makes you love Thailand and I'm really happy I got to experience this. For those looking to come to Thailand, try it out!

I completed my internship in Thailand late last year before COVID hit giving me the opportunity to not only accomplish one of my goals to do an internship or work professionally abroad, but to also be able to travel around the country to explore a new culture that I'm not familiar with. Thailand itself was amazing, the people were so welcoming and nice to me and even allowed me to travel places with them. I have my colleagues to thank as well for introducing me to their fascinating culture.

Applying to AIP is something that I don't regret to this day. It seemed very doubtful at first, but my parents convinced to go for it, and here I am today with no regrets. Really great first time abroad experience and I'm looking forward to more!

Thank you, AIP, for an amazing experience I just had in Thailand. It kind of sucks that it may be a long time till I get to come back to the country with the on-going global pandemic. Thought I was really lucky to be able to do an internship here since I was already in the country and was about to finish my studies. We went under lockdown for a few months but it slowly went away and everyone pretty much just went back to work. My colleagues were one of the nicest people I've ever met and I've learnt so much from them. Again, I would like to thank AIP for always keeping the communications top notch and for making me not feel lonely at times.

I've always wanted to travel to Thailand. It has always been at the top of my bucket list. The country is beautiful and the culture is extremely unique and exquisite. When I started searching for internships in Asia, I came across AIP and they made my dreams come true.

I studied finance in university and after completing my internship in the heart of Bangkok, I was able to gain very valuable knowledge about the industry in a very international work environment. My colleagues were awesome, as they welcomed me with open arms. Whenever I did not understand certain things, they would always help out. I really liked that they were patient with me and allowed me to learn and do things at my own pace. Thank you AIP for this opportunity! It was spectacular.

I was always keen to travel. I love having the opportunity to explore a new culture and really immerse myself into it. I was a junior at the time and I thought that it would have been a good idea to get some work experience while living in another country. I found out about AIP and needless to say, they did an amazing job on my placement. I did an internship in marketing within the heart of Bangkok. The city is extremely vibrant and very fast paced. I also had great mentors, ones that taught me so much about the marketing industry and what I would have to do to be a successful marketer in the future. I'd like to personally thank AIP in finding me the next best thing. I loved every bit of it.

Initially thought it was going to be a disaster but it was a complete 180!
When I heard my internship wasn't going to be in Bangkok but rather in another province, I immediately felt concerned about the safety of it all. But the company I interned took good care of me and even offered me an accommodation close to the site. It just made everything smooth and easy for me to adjust to everything. Really commending the AIP staff for placing me into this company and also for guiding me throughout the whole process. There was definitely some hiccup along the way when searching for the right company, but it all paid out in the end and I couldn't ask for a better experience!
I've already been offered a full time position but still contemplating whether or not I should take it because of this whole coronavirus.

The internship provided by AIP was very good, really enjoyed my stay in Thailand, and met a lot of new people. First of all, really appreciate the help of the program and the opportunity provided. I was really thrilled when received an acceptance letter from them. My parents were very happy and supportive from the very beginning, but my friends, on the other hand, felt bad, because that meant I would leave them for at least 3 months. After the acceptance, the process took around 2-3 months in total and of course there was plenty of back and forth communication, but it felt like smooth that I haven’t even realized how fast time flies. Second of all, after everything has been confirmed and the company offered my position, flights were booked and the visa was ready. So I flew to Bangkok and straight-up met at least 5 other interns even before starting my internship since they were staying in the same building. Can tell you in advance Friday evening gatherings were unforgettable. Apart from the internship experience itself there were few cultural trips organized by AIP, one was to the Authaya (sort of old capital of Thailand) and the second was to one of the islands. The food was extremely tasty and cheap, which made me less worried about budgeting for meals. Of course, not all of the program participants were easygoing, and only a few of them were quite toxic, but it is not really AIP to blame about it, since no such community that could be perfect. Finally, since AIP provided networking opportunities that I’ve been going to and using all of them. By doing so I expanded my business network quite a lot. Only my LinkedIn profile increased to 500+ connections from only 20 before the internship. On top of that, the majority of those connections were international, since the networking events were attended by people from different industries and different countries.
