Gap Year Programs in Bangkok,Thailand

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!
