Students get exposure to a wide range of post-graduate employment opportunities in industries including agricultural processing, furniture, automobile, tourism, textile and garments, and more. 

With 60,000 students out of the total population of 400,000 in Thailand’s second city Chiang Mai, it is a popular student city after Bangkok. Places to explore while studying in Thailand include Nonthaburi, Phuket (Thailand’s largest island), Pak Kret and Hat Yai.
