Thailand Year High School Program - Spring Departure

Studying abroad in Thailand for a full year will give you a full dose of intercultural experience in one of Asia’s most tantalizing countries.


Thailand traditionally highly emphasizes school, so prepare for some demanding class time. You will wear a uniform during school, which will be provided for you. School is the center of social life, so this will be your place to meet other friends, and get involved in extracurricular activities that may interest you. From meditation courses to Thai boxing, there will be ample opportunities for you to get involved in your interests after school.


During the year, AFS Thailand staff and volunteers often organize side trips, and weekend excursions for AFS students. These may include river rafting, elephant riding or visiting a famous night bazaar. Choosing Thailand as your AFS destination is a smart choice. Highly supportive volunteers, some of the friendliest people on earth and amazing traditional cuisine.

About Thailand

Thailand, “the land of smiles,” and the gateway country of Southeast Asia, draws more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia thanks to breathtaking natural beauty, ornate temples, robust cuisine, and ruins of ancient kingdoms. Buddhism, which places a high value on hospitality and kindness, is the dominant religion, and you are likely to see orange-robed monks and statues of the Buddha.


Please Note: Travel date ranges are provided to help with general scheduling. Please do not reserve any domestic travel based on these dates. AFS will notify confirmed participants with specific travel details approximately 45 days prior to departure. Programs, prices, and travel dates are subject to change without notice.
