I had so much fun and would recommend this to everyone!

This program was so special and I had so much fun. We did such cool things like a hot air balloon, visiting the Great Barrier Reef, working with elephants in Thailand, a mindfulness retreat and visiting the beautiful temples in Japan. The people on my trip were amazing and I walked away with some really close friends. I will always cherish the memories I made on this trip.

Why Take a Gap Year in Bangkok?

Bangkok’s unique location near the coast makes it the ideal destination for city-dwellers and beach bums alike. Gap year programs in Bangkok scream adventure travel, but gappers will easily find purpose in internships and volunteering as well. Not to mention history buffs: the sparkling Grande Palace in the heart of the city was built in 1782, but a half-day trip to the country’s former capital of Ayutthaya will have you looking at temples over 700 years old.

We recommend the Chao Phraya River cruise—the city’s cheapest form of public transportation—to temple-hop down the shores, and witness the increasingly enormous and extravagant architecture of the city. If you find that boats in Thailand are exactly your thing, then you’ll have to check out the Floating Markets, where each vendor paddles their canoe, looking for hungry buyers who are also floating along. A trip to the lively beach town of Pattaya or the relaxed white sand beaches of Ko Samet are a few more perks of a gap year in Bangkok.

These tidbits are all just a taste of the buffet that a gap year in Bangkok has to offer. Get clicking to find out more about gap year programs in Bangkok here!
