MFU Organises the 2nd "Chiang Rai Discovery Tour," Taking Exchange Students and Buddies to Experience the Charm of Chiang Rai

On 16 August 2026, the Global Relations Division (GRD), in collaboration with the International Student Club at Mae Fah Luang University (MFU) organised the 2^nd Chiang Rai Discovery Tour. The event took a group of exchange students from various global partner universities, along with their student "Buddies," on a field trip to visit major tourist attractions and world-renowned landmarks in Chiang Rai province. The destinations included Wat Huay Pla Kang, the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten), Wat Chiang Yuen, the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), and Singha Park.

This activity is part of the international student welcoming programme, which is continuously held throughout August and September 2026. This semester, MFU is excited to welcome over 40 exchange students from more than 10 countries, including Brunei, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The second round of the Discovery Tour was specifically designed for these exchange students and their buddies to facilitate integrated out-of-classroom learning, with the following main objectives:

• Learning Local Context through Real-world Experience: Providing an opportunity for international students to closely experience and understand the history, art, culture, and local way of life in Chiang Rai.
• Promoting Cross-Cultural Communication: Creating a space for Thai students and international friends from diverse countries to practice their communication skills, learn about cultural differences, and adapt to one another.
• Building Networks and Connections: Strengthening friendships among students while fostering a sense of belonging to both Chiang Rai province and the university.

The Global Relations Division at Mae Fah Luang University holds a vital mission to welcome and closely support international students. It is deeply committed to developing students' potential and guiding them toward becoming true "Global Citizens." 

Welcoming exchange students from across the globe not only enhances the international atmosphere on campus but also drives constructive and ongoing mutual learning among international students, Thai students, and MFU staff members.
