Internship in Thailand - Asia Internship Program

My internship experience with AIP in Bangkok, Thailand was amazing! The AIP team was very supportive throughout the whole process, always checking in and providing guidance whenever I needed help. I really appreciated how they organized intern meetups and even took us to explore different places. The program was well-organized and helped me grow both professionally and personally. I highly recommend AIP to anyone who wants to intern abroad and gain real international experience!

My experience with the Asia Internship Program had many high points, particularly through the company I was matched with. I was placed in a company that aligned with my interests and allowed me to grow through hands-on work in a supportive and communicative team. The location was convenient, and I felt genuinely cared for by my workplace during my time there. AIP provided some strong support, specifically through their on-the-ground community team, who was responsive and helpful during my stay. Their platform was easy to navigate, and after some discussion they found comfortable housing, which made the transition smoother. The availability of 24/7 support provided some peace of mind during my time abroad. That said, for me, a challenge was pre-departure communication. At times, I felt I had to chase information just to stay on track, and it wasn’t always clear what stage I was in or what was expected of me. Having a lack of information that ensured security created unnecessary stress before the internship began. During the internship, I would have appreciated more consistent community engagement, such as biweekly events or cultural outings to help interns connect with each other and their host country. While events were occasionally mentioned, during my experience, there weren’t consistent opportunities organized for interns to connect, and much of the social interaction had to be self-organized. To AIP’s credit, I did feel they genuinely cared about my experience and responded when feedback was given. With clearer communication and more structured community-building, AIP could greatly enhance an already valuable program.

Thanks to AIP, I was able to really dive into the working culture during my eight-week internship in Thailand. It gave me a much clearer idea of my options after my studies. But this internship was about so much more than work - I also got to experience Thai culture, explore the beautiful nature of northern Thailand in Chiang Mai, and meet some truly amazing and kind people. It’s an experience I’ll never forget and a step I am very grateful to have taken.
