Thailand & Laos Journalism Expedition
Location
Thailand: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Mueang
Description
Make your way across two mysterious and adventure-filled countries and shed new light on their histories, people, unique cultures and countless untold stories.
Whether you're interested in exploring a new hobby or a future career in travel writing, investigative reporting, or even blogging, your path begins here in Thailand. This is a dynamic journalistic adventure that goes beyond the classroom: to the Hillsides of Northern Thailand where the Karen Tribe resides, to the Wat Suan Dok temple in Chiang Mai, to an Elephant sanctuary, caves, waterfalls and more. Shadow professional, in-country journalists and learn how to develop and organize your ideas, gather research and information, conduct interviews and write clear, compelling stories. Spend an afternoon interviewing monks in Chiang Mai. Talk to elephant keepers at the Elephant Nature Park. Or just take in all the natural beauty that surrounds you. There's so much to see, experience and write about.
