So much easier than I thought!

September 26, 2022by: Ollie Andrews - United Kingdom

When the time came to find an internship as part of my university degree, I joked around with the idea that I would do my internship in a paradise like Thailand. After a little research I found that this was definitely possible, and arranging it would be much easier than I had anticipated it to be. Fast forward a few months, and I’m lounging on a beach on the other side of the globe with a ridiculously cheap cocktail in my hand. If you’re asking me, there's no better way to spend your days off work! To avoid any misunderstandings, I wasn’t just lounging around for 2 months. The manufacturing company I worked with always kept me busy, and believe me sometimes I NEEDED those days of rest. Don’t think twice, give Meiji a shot!

A whole new world

Throughout my stay in Thailand I collected many experiences and dove into a new world. Not only was the new lifestyle and Thai culture completely different from my usual life, but also the way the company was structured and the business climate. It provided me with many new impressions. It was good how Meiji supported me with all the elements of my stay, like accommodation, important local information, and the actual internship placement. I had the opportunity to do a 3-month internship with an e-commerce company in the centre of Bangkok. I learned how to manage international business affairs, whilst also tackling more local challenges in the form of the Thai language.

A big thank you

Meiji made sure my transition into the working lifestyle in Thailand was as smooth as possible. During my time I was able to foster valuable relationships and create some unforgettable memories, all with the help of Meiji’s services. This is really a career-changing opportunity of a lifetime, so in my eyes Meiji Internships is worth every penny. I was more than happy with my program, and I will always stay grateful for the friends and memories I can take away from it. It was an all-around positive experience!

Going to Thailand for an internship was a breath of fresh air, and I never knew I needed it so much! Meiji Internships did the best job possible making this happen, it honestly made all the difference for me.

Unique opportunity

My internship with Meiji Internships in Thailand was really fun and exciting and I learnt a lot. I had a lot of opportunity to work as well as do some tourism around the country so I always stayed busy. It is a very international place so I made friends from all around the world, everybody was very friendly.

Really great experience in this country

I completed a internship in Thailand with the small robotics company, who had some really exciting work and very intelligent employees. They became my best friends when I was at Thailand, and we had really good morale in the work. Meiji Internships made the internship for me and it was really perfect in my opinion. I will recommend!

Love this country

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been to Thailand but I have enjoyed every single time. This time was a little different as I was visiting for work purposes, and it really showed me Thailand in a different light. I really enjoyed my time working there and leaving all the friends I’d made behind was no easy task. I’m now definitely considering a future there if possible!

Internship, plus so much more!

My internship experience in Thailand was the stuff of dreams. After my consultation with Meiji I was matched with a company that ticked all the boxes in terms of my interests, so when I eventually started working in Thailand it was really enjoyable! The best part about interning in Thailand is everything else that comes with it, I’m talking beach parties, jungle hiking, beautiful sunsets, really kind locals, and so much more. It’s definitely somewhere I see myself staying in the future, and my internship experience will definitely help make that a reality. I absolutely adore this country and am so thankful for Meiji’s help in setting up this internship.

Place to find yourself

For me Thailand was a great place to truly find myself. Having to maintain yourself living independently in Asia is quite a challenge, and just through that you learn a lot about yourself. When combined with an engaging internship such as the one I did, I can say that every minute I spent in Thailand brought some form of value to me. After my time there I found my real passion and formed a clear vision of how I’d like to live my life for the coming future - this in my eyes is a priceless form of education! I cant recommend this enough.

Exceeded my expectations

My internship in Thailand gave me some great work experience that will help me with my future career. The place I worked was a mixture of native Thai and international expats, which was great for me as a non-Thai speaker. The work was hard and we were involved with a lot of projects, but after work we always had fun and enjoyed the Thai experience. It is a very affordable place so you can expect to do a lot without spending so much money. It is definitely a place that anybody can enjoy. Meiji gave me a suitable service that was recommended to me by a previous classmate, and I would also recommend this to others.

Working in Thailand is really good for people who need unique work experience and also want to enjoy life at the same time. The internship was very useful to me and I got a lot of experience. Everybody was very friendly all the time and I had some really memorable experiences! Very highly recommend it!

Intern in paradise

Meiji Internships set up my internship in Thailand with a local agricultural company, working to begin the process of exporting their goods overseas. As a native English speaker, the role was practically made for me, so I felt very valued in the work I did - the host company were very grateful to have me! I felt as though I had a real impact on the business and its progress. On my days off I was making the most of everything Thailand has to offer, in many ways it felt like a long holiday that I did not want to end. Looking back this was one of the best experiences of my life, I’ll for sure carry forward everything I learnt from this.

Good internship

The service from Meiji Internships was of a great standard and they offered me a very good internship. All the information was clearly detailed and made the decision process easy. I am glad I made my choice with Meiji and I would recommend their services, it is a great way to find work experience that will differentiate yourself from others.

THE life…

Interning in Thailand is like… interning in Thailand. Seriously it's just as you’d imagine. I had so much fun in this crazy country it’s hard to believe I was working. I will admit the tropical climate had me on the ropes in the beginning but I came to love life here so much I genuinely struggled to come home. I’d recommend interning here but also would recommend against it, because in the end wherever you return to you’ll be hit with the inevitable post-Thailand depression. Meiji were fantastic throughout the whole process - they addressed all my concerns and queries, went the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable at all times, and in the end arranged a great host company and apartment for me. So really they couldn't have been better. I will most definitely be back in Thailand very soon.

Saw a new side of Thailand

Like most lads my age I had previously been backpacking in Thailand, and fell in love with this paradise. My time there only left me curious to experience more, and see what the life beyond backpacking looks like. I chose to do an internship working with an auto export business, who Meiji linked me up with. I hadn’t known prior that this was actually one of Thailand’s main industries, so everyday the work came flooding in. It allowed me to see from an inside perspective how these firms operate, which was useful as I plan to run my own export business in the future. When I wasn’t working I was exploring Thailand, which as we know is a very cheap country. I saw many of Thailand’s amazing places and met many of their amazing people, but honestly my best memories are just renting a motorbike and cruising along the coastline. Meiji arranged for me to stay in a nice little apartment, it was super cosy and very quickly felt like home to me. It was honestly pretty hard to leave that life behind in the end. Definitely recommend Meiji Internships!

Holiday or work?

June 08, 2022by: Jenna Sanders - United States

This was one of those times in life you look back at and it’s just a blur. I had so much fun that the time flew by and before I knew it I had to leave. My primary purpose in doing an internship here was to balance work with a holiday - so I basically wanted to play hard and work hard. Thailand is honestly the best place to do that. Meiji hooked me up with a super chill company to work with - they made it clear that the work I’d be doing was actually real work, which I was very happy about. So I was working hard during the days, but as soon as my working hours were up I was chilling on the beach in true Thai style. I met so many incredible people throughout my time there from both Thailand and around the world, I don’t know what it is but everybody seems so kind there you feel welcome wherever you’ve come from. I should also mention Meiji arranged my accommodation and I was very happy with it. This was one of my primary worries as I had heard a lot of stories about foreigners getting scammed by fraudulent Thai accommodation providers, so I was glad that Meiji took that stress off my shoulders. Really hope to be back to this paradise some time soon!

Didn't know what to expect, wasn't disappointed.

The last time I visited Thailand I was spending my days by the beach in a hammock, so it’s safe to say I had a pretty good time. I had such a good time that I became curious about how the working world is in Thailand, so I decided I wanted to do an internship there. I come from a business background and I was stoked to see Meiji offered internships in my field there. I jumped at the chance while I could, and I never looked back. I sent Meiji all they needed from me and they matched me with an ideal company. The work days were not too intense so best believe I was having a good time after work, there were a lot of friends made, and a little too many drinks consumed. In reality its hard to tell if this was work or a holiday, but I came away from the experience with something different to put on my CV and memories to remember for a lifetime.

TH is underrated

I had planned a trip with some friends to Thailand in 2020. I guess there's no need to explain but that just didn't work out. I was fortunately able to change some of the reservations I had made to this year and that was just a life-saver as otherwise I would've ended up losing my money. So I killed two birds with one stone by choosing Thailand for my uni internship. I was initially interested in an online internship, but the folks at Meiji talked me through the different options and when they mentioned Thailand was open for me, I had nothing to think about. The actual internship was pretty good, I learned a ton of things and it didn't consume my whole day. Transactions were also very smooth and I have no complaints when it comes to the company

I absolutely fell in love with traveling

Applying for an internship was a great way to learn about PR & Marketing. My host company was wonderful and they taught me many interesting things. There is always something going on and to learn from in a company like that and I didn't get bored at all. I had a genuine experience in Thailand and I got a great understanding of their beautiful culture and language. My best memory is when we visited an elephant sanctuary. I was so emotional to see those people taking care of the elephants and give them love. It was the first time for me to see those impressive animals in the wildness and I will remember this feeling forever. This adventure was definitely worth it. It gave me the urge to travel and discover the world, and I am already looking forward to my next travel!

Thailand with Meiji Internships

I wanted to go abroad while I was still studying and had plenty of time, so I thought that doing an internship was a good option. I sent emails to several internship programmes, but Meiji Internships was the most responsive one and I had a very good first impression so I decided to keep going with them. In Bangkok, I had a great neighbourhood with shops accessible by 5 minutes walks. The locals were genuinely nice and I had lots of opportunities to talk with them and learn about their culture. Regarding the internship in itself, it was fantastic! My supervisor was a sweet and clever woman, I had a great time collaborating with her and learning from her. My internship was very rewarding and gave me a good insight into how things work in a company.
