MFU Welcomes Hong Kong Youth Delegation to Promote Cultural Exchange and Global Learning

The Global Relations Division of Mae Fah Luang University (MFU) warmly welcomed a delegation of 28 young delegates from the Hong Kong STEM Nurture Association during their educational and cultural exchange visit to Thailand from 22–25 May 2026. The programme took place at Mae Fah Luang University and various locations across Chiang Rai Province.

The programme aimed to promote academic and cultural learning while fostering mutual understanding and friendship between Thai and Hong Kong youth through interactive activities and educational visits to important cultural and tourist destinations in Chiang Rai.

On 22 May 2026, the delegation toured the Mae Fah Luang University campus and participated in cross-cultural activities, including a traditional Thai handicraft workshop focused on the Lanna “Spider Web Flag” (Tung Yai Mang Moom) at the Institute for Mekong Basin Civilization, Art and Culture. The workshop was led by Mr. Kritdanai Sombatmai, a Chiang Rai-based artist and expert in Lanna paper art, who shared local wisdom and northern Thai cultural heritage with the participants.

In addition, MFU student buddies actively joined the programme to support and engage with the delegation throughout their study visit, creating meaningful intercultural learning experiences and strengthening friendships between the youth of both countries.

The delegation is also scheduled to visit the Doi Tung Development Project, as well as Wat Huay Pla Kang, Blue Temple, and White Temple before continuing their journey to Chiang Mai.

This programme reflects Mae Fah Luang University’s commitment to internationalisation and its dedication to creating collaborative learning spaces for youth from diverse backgrounds, ultimately promoting global citizenship and sustainable intercultural understanding.
