International Internships in Bangkok

My 10 weeks in Bangkok were an amazing experience. I met so many great people, discovered a new culture, and made memories I’ll never forget. Truly grateful for the opportunity! My 10 weeks in Bangkok were truly unforgettable. I loved the work environment, gained valuable experience and exposure, and met so many amazing people. I’m leaving with great memories and a new perspective on other cultures.

I interned in Bangkok at a law firm, I had a great relationship with my colleagues and they were very friendly and welcoming. The intern group was also great, they provided airport pickup and arranged weekly excursions for the inters, which were always exciting. I loved the city and the internship allowed me to see a side of Bangkok tourist usually don't get the opportunity to see. I loved the experience and would definitely do it again.

I had a 6 week, software engineering internship in Bangkok. The experience was great and well directed by the intern group, the accommodation was fantastic and the weekly excursions were very fun, the excursions allowed me to dive into the culture and explore Bangkok. My host organisation was an international real estate company, I worked in the business technology department and had a great experience, my colleagues and boss were very welcoming and communication wasn't an issue. Overall the experience was great and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get experience. It has greatly improved my success when applying for jobs after graduation too.

Working in Bangkok through The Intern Group was truly an amazing experience. I interned at an international law firm and worked on many projects, but the personal growth I experienced was what truly stayed with me. Being able to live and work in Thailand pushed me far outside of my comfort zone, with any international trip you have to adapt to a new country, new people, a new culture, and a completely different environment. The biggest impact came when I returned home. Having to go back to my normal routines made me realize just how much I had changed. I came back more confident, independent, open-minded and much more aware of what I wanted from life. I started questioning the things I had accepted simply because they were familiar and became more comfortable letting go of people, environments, and routines that were no longer making me happy. It genuinely felt like I had closed one chapter of my life and walked into a completely new one. I would recommend The Intern Group to anyone who is willing to challenge themselves and experience something completely outside of their normal life. you may go into it expecting an internship, but you just might come back realizing that you are capable of so much more than you thought. For me, Thailand didn't just give me work experience, it gave me a new perspective on my life and the courage to start building towards the future I actually want.

Personally, though, my experience with the TIG has been so much positive. Their team was always responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. They helped me a lot to prepare for mock interviews pre-interview with the host company, organised CV workshops and seminars and even ran cultural sessions that brought me closer to a better idea of what living and interning abroad would actually be like before i arrived. They also helped me with accommodation, my visa process and answered pretty much every question i had along the way. What I actually do appreciate the most is how supportive the Bangkok Intern Group has been. Whenever I need help whether it was with exchanging money, accommodation, or if any issues came up with work, they are always there to help and respond quickly. I would definitely say this experience has been worth all.

My internship experience in Bangkok was fantastic and gave me valuable insight into a real working environment in my field. Staying in Bangkok allowed me to experience a vibrant new culture, and our program manager, Quynh, made the entire trip even better. She was incredibly helpful, friendly, and consistently supportive throughout the whole experience. Overall, the program was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain meaningful experience in their chosen field.

The program was perfect from onboarding to actually being here in thailand. Made great friends, excellent work environment, lots of cool activities. I wouldn’t change a thing. Very affordable for anyone looking to come here.

My experience traveling to Bangkok for my first solo excursion abroad was incredibly fulfilling and comfortable. I was fortunate to be placed in a job where my skills were relevant and well-utilized. The accommodations provided were excellent, and I appreciated the funded excursions organized by TIG. While my overall experience was positive, there are areas where the organization could improve. It seems the company is somewhat understaffed, which may impact its ability to fully support the number of interns it manages. During the placement process, I narrowly secured an internship that aligned with my career interests within the available time frame. The initial job opportunities presented to me did not align well with my professional goals, and the placement process felt a bit rushed. That said, I understand the challenges the organization faces, particularly with coordinating across multiple time zones and working within tight schedules. Despite these difficulties, once I arrived on-site, the program did an excellent job ensuring I felt comfortable and supported in adapting to a new country. In conclusion, while there are some challenges in the placement process, the on-site experience is highly rewarding, and I appreciate the efforts made by TIG to facilitate a positive and enriching internship experience.

It was such a blessing to call Bangkok home for 8 weeks! This program was incredible and I've been able to make so many valuable connections throughout this journey. Unfortunately I seemed to get the short end of the stick when it came to the actual internship, as it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but everything outside of work was amazing. I feel like I got to do and see so much in Thailand, yet barely scratched the surface of what the beautiful country has to offer. TIG was very helpful; Jinnie put together events and weekly meet-ups for us to see different parts of the culture. This was a great experience overall, I'm glad I did it.

My experience this summer has honestly been a dream come true with all of the new friends I’ve made, challenging work experience I’ve been put through and amazing new culture I’ve learnt about. The intern group staff were also a pleasure to connect with at all times, especially my experience co-ordinator Jinnie who made me feel welcome from start to end whilst setting up lots of really fun meet ups with other interns. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who’s interested in furthering their career whilst also having a meeting new people, learning new culture and just overall having a great time!

I had an amazing experience interning in Bangkok this summer! The 6 weeks I was here have been some of the best weeks of my life so far. Outside of my internship, the TIG staff were really helpful, friendly and organised great events where I felt immersed in Thai culture. The only thing I would comment on is the fact that my internship was not related to my chosen career field. However saying this, my internship helped me in developing transferable skills that I will be able to apply to my future career, so my time was well spent and extremely fulfilling. I feel a sense of academic and personal growth due to TIG and would recommend to anyone who wants to advance their career by working internationally.

The intern group staff on the ground were truly incredible. Jinnie was always there to support us and see if we need anything, as well as organize meetups for the group and ensure everyone was safe and having fun.

Choosing to intern in Bangkok this summer was a shot in the dark, but it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. For starters, BKK is an amazing city. It is unbelievably vibrant and cheap, with good public transport and safety. The food is super high quality, every neighborhood feels incredibly distinct, and you will literally never be bored. As for the work experience, I absolutely loved my job. So many internships dissolve to interns simply getting lunch and coffee, but I was able to immerse myself in my company's operations. I learned so much about the industry, the SEA ecosystem, and my own personal career goals. In general, if you aren't sure what you want to do next summer, this is the perfect opportunity for you. There's no better way to learn about yourself and grow as a person than by diving headfirst into a new culture. Bangkok is the perfect city for interns simply because it is so lively, cheap, and International, so you're always experiencing new things. Finally, working at companies that want you to get involved in every area is a blessing. With that said, definitely give TIG Bangkok a try!

My experience interning in Bangkok was great - both the internship and cultural experiences were phenomenal and I had an amazing time. In terms of the internship, I got to work at a super interesting host company that was and will be useful as I evaluate next steps in terms of my career goals. The program itself was well-organised and very fun. The activities offered opportunities for cultural immersion and were useful as I figured out how I wanted to spend my time in the city throughout the two months. Jinnie and Tarn were wonderful points of contact who were very responsive, helpful, and kind :) Overall had an amazing time and so glad I chose to come to Bangkok this summer!

The TIG staff in Bangkok were extremely responsive, kind, and helpful. They planned culture immersion and social experiences to cultivate a strong intern community. Being so far away from home, I appreciated the emphasis on community-building and work-life balance. My internship placement also developed my professional skillset and aligned with my career goals. The work environment was flexible yet encouraging, which I valued. Further, my accommodation was lovely and met my expectations!

I really enjoyed my experience in Thailand with the help of The Intern Group. I absolutely loved the staff (Jinnie and Tarn) for helping me get situated (although there were some room difficulties within the accommodation - bathroom curtains) but that was a minor issue and I overall really enjoyed my stay there. I also really enjoyed the activities that they had prepared for us and would definitely recommend taking advantage of them. I'm very glad I was also set up with the company that I am currently working at and I have met the kindest people here :) this was a great experience!

TIG has been very responsive and thorough from placement to program end. Not only did I receive an educational internship but I also felt immersed within the program destination culture and people through the excursions that were offered. The internship was well aligned with my academic studies and gave me valuable insight into a potential future career choice. The hours and tasks of the internship may be demanding at times but the excursions and hang-outs organized by TIG provides an opportunity away from the work stress, cultivating a healthy work-life balance. I am really glad to have embarked on this experience and to have met so many amazing people. It is really a one of a kind experience.

The Intern group provided me with great housing and supplied train transportation cards to get around Bangkok. They also planned many group-bonding and culturally immersive events in all the small and wonderful corners of Bangkok, from great food to beautiful sights. I am grateful to have had my first internship abroad experience with this intern group and in Bangkok, Thailand. My work experience was super productive and conducive to my professional skillset. I learned how to manage my time, given that my work was mainly virtual, and to travel around to coffee shops and malls for nice working spots. I am grateful for my two bosses and my three other intern members that are from my school.

I has an overseas placement for about 4 weeks which flew by really quickly! It was a wonderful insight into the corporate culture in another city and gave me a good insight into a good work life balance. The working hours were great as it was a hybrid role which allowed me to spend time in nearby cafes and explore the city. The bangkok team organised great cultural events and had good recommendations for the best places in bangkok. The four weeks are quite short so I’d definitely recommend staying abit longer to socialise with other interns and maximise souvenir shopping :)

Despite the fact that I wasn't placed in a social work position as the Intern Group promised, the company I worked with was good. Hours were good, some short days and some longer days which allowed me to explore the city during the weekdays as well as the weekends. However, the team on site were amazing. They organised meet-ups in super fun spots, there is definetly something for everyone. The trips/excursions were also really fun and allowed us to really immerse in the local culture. Overall, I'd say it was an amazing experience and I am taking a lot away with me but I feel it is important to mention that although it may seem like it - they can't always offer you an internship in your chosen career field. Will miss Bangkok and the other interns very much!
