About Bangkok, Thailand
Home to some of the world’s most beloved temples, like Wat Arun, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Trimitr to name a few, Thailand’s capital city is the perfect place to immerse yourself in culture. The city is saturated with colorful markets, crowded streets, mouth-watering food, and people from the world over who believe it to be one of the best cities on Earth.
Shopaholics need look no further. Whether you’re looking for hidden gems or high-street fashions, Bangkok has it all in its endless markets. Roam through Yaowarat’s bustling alleyways, Bangkok’s buzzing “Chinatown.” Spend your weekend at Chatuchak Weekend Market, with a mere 8,000 vendors and 200,000 fellow visitors, both locals and foreigners alike. If you’re not feeling energetic enough to brave some of the world’s busiest markets, head over to Siam or Sukhumvit and check out the mega-malls. Don’t forget to do your food shopping at one of the floating markets - the sounds, smells and sights have no comparison.
Explore the true heart and soul of Bangkok in the Old City, visiting spectacular sites like the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho. Once you’ve had your dose of history, fast-forward in time to Thonglor, Bangkok’s trendiest neighborhood, for some exquisite eats. Jump on the Skytrain to get where you need to be in no time at all or ride a tuk tuk, just like the locals. If you’re feeling far from home, look no further than Khaosan Road for company, the center of the backpacking universe.

Whatever your interests are there is no better place for your international internship. Thailand is the perfect place to gain international experience in.
