International Internships in Bangkok with The Intern Group

Dear Gooverseas,

After an absolutely fantastic experience, I have now found that I have grown into a stronger, more mature, resilient, and independent working person. I learned many things along the way such as how to speak to people of different languages, to manage my time, to learn from others, and to work in a team.

Additionally if it wasn’t for my leaders, and I’ll mention Jinnie to be specific!, then we wouldn’t have had anywhere near as much fun as we thought. She was great and looking out for us, and she always responded when you needed her.

Just want to say a massive thank you for this experience, and i will never forget it.

Thanks

This program truly exceeded all my expectations and was an absolutely incredible experience! From the amazing advisors and engaging events to the provided housing, everything was meticulously organized. The friends I've met through this journey have become like family to me. The highlight was undoubtedly being matched with an amazing company that provided a supportive and enriching environment. My coworkers and mentors were not just colleagues but became mentors and friends who I still regularly keep up with. Additionally, the opportunity to explore Thailand was incredible. The culture, the places, and the people – every aspect was mesmerizing. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone looking for a comprehensive and fulfilling experience.

As someone who has never travelled alone or outside the country, my month in Thailand was so pivotal. Not only did I realize my own independence, but I was so happy to be immersed in a culture so different from my own. I also was able to make great friendships despite going on this trip with no familiar people. I am happy the program also immersed us in the community such as bringing us to street fairs and showing us the history of our destination. Because of this trip, I am open to exploring more of the world and am fearless when it comes to changing my environment!

The day to day life in Bangkok was a truly inspiring experience. No day is the same. From getting the bts or mrt to new places you've never heard of or trying new street food daily. You wont get bored. The work culture is completely different from the western world with the attitude of work hard play hard being the key factor. Theres a party on every street that ventures into the early hours of the morning. On top of the activities there are to offer the work place is friendly and welcoming to everyone. With lunches at the market to hanging out after hours. Being an intern in Bangkok is one of the best experiences to have.

Very well organized with great host organization. Local staff were very helpful and organized plenty of bonding activities. Internship experience developed a lot of useful skills that I will carry on to the job market. This includes soft and hard skills such as public speaking, presentations, sales, communication, and organization. I was very involved throughout this whole process and contributed to the success of my organization throughout these three months. This includes attending networking events and expositions as well.

I joined the January 2020 program for a month and it was such an amazing journey. I was signing up late for the program, but the Intern Group people were very handy to finally got me the internship that I want at the last minute! Everything was excellent and the other interns whom we got to share apartment with were all friendly, we then become friends until now! I learnt that if you really want something, you will get it if you put effort in it. Oh, I was faced with language barrier, but it wasn’t a big deal since Thai people are friendly, just don’t be shy to blend in! Definitely recommended :)

Interning in Bangkok, I have seen my professional and cultural skills flourish. I was a landscape architecture intern at Landprocess for the duration of 8 weeks. During my time there I grew and developed my communication and technical skills through a range of hands on projects. The internship was challenging — but in all the best ways. The education goes beyond the traditional model of your university studies, and pushes you to be creative and innovative. One of the highlights was the collaborative nature of the workplace culture. The friendships and connections formed during my time in Bangkok will stay with me for years to come. This program was a fantastic way to really experience Thai culture, all while furthering my professional career. The inclusive cultural experiences were a great way to get to know the other interns, as well as hour new home — Bangkok. If you are someone who wants to excel in their field, explore the world, and meet interesting, new people from different cultures, this program is for you!

I´ve recently spent 6 weeks in Bangkok to join the international internship Program hosted by the intern group. The support from the Intern Group is remarkable. Even before my arrival in Bangkok I was professionally guided through all Visa steps and I received helpful advice that need to be considered when travelling and working abroad. By the time I arrived in Bangkok all new interns were welcomed with an authentic Thai-dinner and a supplementary orientation presentation given by staff from the Intern Group. After this I felt well- prepared for my first working day. Throughout my whole internship (Consultancy) I was fully involved in several interesting and challenging consulting projects that definitely equipped me with useful and new knowledge for my further professional career. Alongside the internship we had the opportunity to travel on weekends and to socialise with other interns from the program coming from all over the world (either on weekends or in evening events). My overall experience is far beyond my expectations - so everyone who is seeking a new and challenging professional experience and who is open-minded and keen to meet international people will have a great time in Bangkok!!
