Destination: Thailand

The first workshop will be held in Bangkok, Thailand. The venue was changed due to COVID-19 travel restrictions in Malaysia. 

Thailand is situated in the heart of the Southeast Asian mainland. The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is a display of merging the old with the new. Thus, visitors have fun exploring the diversity of the city’s sights, which also adds an element of surprise to seeing and experiencing the dynamic Thai culture and lifestyle.
