Elephant riding in Na Jomtien

Asian
University
hosted its bi-annual 3 week international “Asian Experience” programme from February 5 - 25. MBA students from Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic were trained in Cross cultural management, Asian economics and Asian marketing.

Enjoying the beach at Bang Saray

The students enjoyed their first week in the Thai capital, visiting the Royal palace, having a dinner at the polo club and indulging themselves in Bangkok’s nightlife.

Practical business experience was given to the participants by executive managers at the company visits to Siam Paragon in Bangkok and to the Sheraton Resort in Pattaya.

At the Sheraton Resort, Pattaya

Back at Asian University campus the students tried different Thai cultural activities. Whether it was cooking Tom Yum, working out at Muay Thai or practising Pasat Thai, they enjoyed their Thai experience enormously.

Relaxing at the beach was part of the programme as well as riding on Thailand’s most famous animal, the elephants. The participants stayed at the campus for a few days and then in the Welcome Jomtien Beach Hotel.

But nothing will stay as deep in the participants’ memories as the Thai hospitality and the “mai pen rai”.
