Nowhere else is the gentle, easy-going nature of the Thai people on more display than in chilled out Chiang Mai.

This culture hub promises adventure of all kinds—waterfalls, temples, street food, meaningful friendships—and puts you right in the heart of hill country culture.

What our interns say

Discover if teaching English in Thailand is for you with the help of Stefanie’s story. She was inspired to take her career in a whole new direction.

Seb Paul
Teaching in Thailand has taught me to be more confident in front of crowds. I’ve always had an irrational fear of looking stupid, now I embrace it! Never felt better about it, and yes. I’m normally quite an introverted person. Within days I made friends that I could call brothers, so don’t stress about soloing it. You’ll be fine!
Amber Carollo
If you value travel, life experiences, and growth, you should put all the fear of “what if’s” aside & do it! It feels incredible to be immersed in a new culture & be a student, yourself! You will have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and the experiences you may wind up having are priceless.

    Chiang Rai

    Visit Chiang Mai’s sister city, Chiang Rai. It's Thailand’s oldest city and home to one of the coolest temples-turned-art-exhibits in the world, Wat Rong Kun.

    Food

    Lanna cuisine, unique to Thailand’s north, is finger-lickin’ good. Try khao soi (egg noodle curry), banana-leaf-wrapped sticky rice, and sai oua (sausage).

    Activity

    Strap on your hiking boots & set your sights on the highest mountain in Thailand—plus hundreds of tropical birds & lush greenery—in Doi Inthanon National Park.
