Thailand possesses a unique texture in terms of age-old customs, visual arts,architectures, and technological innovations to name but a few areas. These features become instantly valuable upon one’s direct contact because Thailand is, in many aspects, a country caught in transition between old and new, making it an ideal place to explore further linkage between the West and the East as well as a richly painted tapestry of singular traditions and innovations. Chulalongkorn University, as the pioneering educational institution of Thailand, is undeniably one of Thailand’s most prestigious universities. In their week-long visit to Thailand, Harvard delegates will be able to travel through the many centuries of Thai history.
