Exploration: Thailand

Thailand has a wealth of destinations and activities to pursue. Envoys students visit an elephant conservation center, learn to cook a variety of Thai culinary delights, and ride bicycles through ancient temple parks, building confidence in exploration and having fun!

Envoys utilizes its strong roots in the country to go beyond tourist activities and explore the unique subtleties of Thai culture. From the concept of sanuk to the wealth of Buddhist rituals, our exploration of Thai culture helps students to develop socio-cultural awareness and empathy. We also examine the importance of the tourism industry for Thailand’s economy and the effects of tourism on the traditional cultural rhythms.

All Envoys students pursue research projects as part of their trip. The topics of these projects are determined during the pre-trip online courses, conducted by trip leaders and academic experts.
