Overview
Home to a range of world-class companies and organizations, Thailand is the perfect country for a professional internship. Bangkok is an international hub for business, entrepreneurship, IT, finance, marketing, tourism, and NGOs. It is a city where East meets West and ancient architecture meets modernity. Interns here have the chance to network with key contacts and gain vital professional experience and industry exposure on a global level.
Home to some of the world’s most beloved temples and energetic markets, Thailand’s capital city is the perfect place for cultural immersion. Explore the heart and soul of Bangkok in the Old City, visiting spectacular sites like the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and Wat Pho. Then 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. Offering beautiful beaches, spectacular temples, and world-famous cuisine, Bangkok has something for everybody.
Bangkok is saturated with colorful markets, crowded streets, mouth-watering food, and people from all over the world who believe it to be one of the best cities on Earth. Our international internships in Thailand are the perfect way to achieve professional and personal growth, helping you to launch your career.
Accommodation
Private bedroom in a shared apartment
In Bangkok, each intern has their own private bedroom in a shared apartment with other interns, young professionals, or international students. Each private bedroom has its own lock and air conditioning. Kitchen facilities will be provided, however, it is culturally common for people to eat out in Bangkok. You’ll find that it is generally more economical to eat at a restaurant or to grab some street food than to cook!
