High School Study Abroad in Bangkok, Thailand

“One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster...” If you know the words to that 80’s tune, you might be too old to be considering a high school program in Thailand. But if not, you’re in for a treat! Bangkok is the heartbeat of Thailand and is known as the “City of Angels” or the “City of Smiles” (depending who you ask!). Visitors coo over the amazing food and shopping variety, martial arts, beautiful beaches, and cultural diversity. Sounds like a pretty cool place to learn tons of new stuff and help prepare for college, if you ask us. In the same boat? Here is everything you need to know about doing a high school program in Bangkok.

My best travel experience yet!

This summer I had the opportunity to travel to Thailand! This was my first time traveling to Asia and if i'm being honest I was quite nervous, but TFT did an amazing job of making me feel welcome and showing me so many amazing things I will never forget. The bonds I made with campers on the trip will last for a lifetime and we are even talking about having a meet up in December! The counselors were very nice and were very helpful in helping us navigate the markets and getting us to excursions on time. Overall the trip was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have the trip of a lifetime!

A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Bangkok

Popular High School Programs in Bangkok

Most high school programs abroad will combine adventure travel with some type of service work. But duh! You will be living in Thailand, so it won’t feel like work! You will be doing your part to help make the world a better place while at the same time experiencing an adventure of a lifetime. 

Community service programs are popular for high school travel in Bangkok because they offer rewarding opportunities to give back and have plenty of time for adventures. Imagine teaching English to children in the morning and in the afternoon, learning to feed, bathe, and take care of elephants and other endemic wildlife. You can bet your friends back home won’t be having that much fun while doing their part to help others.

Language immersion programs are popular for high school students abroad in Bangkok. Language programs are typically a complete cultural exploration experience because, not only will you be learning the Thai language, you will be completely immersed in the Thai culture. Immersion programs help provide first time international visitors to the country with an in-depth understanding of the Thai people.

Experiential learning is a popular option for high school study abroad in Thailand, especially if you want the best of all the possible experiences. This type of program combines learning and adventure, where you can spend a summer, a semester, or up to a year living with a host family and attend school. Expect to acquire some seriously baller leadership skills and engage in activities to learn about the host country’s society and values.
