2024 Global Connect Trip to Chiang Rai, Thailand

Our recent 6 days 5 nights overseas trip to Chiang Rai, Thailand was an enriching and unforgettable experience. Known for its stunning landscapes and cultural landmarks, Chiang Rai offered the perfect backdrop for learning and exploration.

The journey began with a warm welcome from our partner school, Srinagarindra The Princess Mother School (SWPY) where we had the opportunity to engage in cultural exchange, fostering friendships and understanding between students from both countries. Activities included joint workshops, where we learned about traditional Thai crafts, music, and dance, enhancing our appreciation of local traditions.

A highlight of the trip was visiting the iconic landmarks of Chiang Rai. We explored the stunning Wat Rong Khun (White Temple), renowned for its intricate architecture. Another memorable stop was the Golden Triangle, a historical site where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet.

The trip also included a visit to the Long Neck Villages, where students learned about the diverse ethnic communities in the region, gaining insights into their unique lifestyles and traditions.

Apart from sightseeing, the trip emphasized personal growth. Students embraced the challenges of adapting to a new environment, building resilience and confidence in the process. The shared experiences brought everyone closer, creating bonds that will last a lifetime.

This journey to Chiang Rai was not just a geographical excursion but a meaningful cultural exchange and learning opportunity. It left all participants with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of Thailand.
