Studyinthailand.org: A private initiative
When it comes to studying abroad, people first think about U.S.A., U.K., and Australia. Thailand is hardly present on this map of international higher education in peoples' minds. We are going to change that.
We also want to support international programs at accredited Thai universities and colleges by
- providing information about study opportunities,
- enabling informed choices,
- contributing to market transparency,
- collecting and answering questions about studying in an international program in Thailand,
- providing advice how to adjust processes and Web site for universities.
Studyinthailand.org is online since April 13, 2008, developed and operated by
Ulrich Werner, adjunct professor at Thailand's biggest university since 2002 and visiting lecturer in international programs in Thailand and PR China. Numerous international students contributed their experiences, problems, and perceptions either directly, or when the Web site is used as a 'dummy company' in courses.
In March 2010, this Web site got a major update. Since then, we focus on social networks to trigger word of mouth about studying in Thailand, such as Baidu for China and East Asia, Friendster for Southeast Asia, Hi5 for Thailand, Orkut for Brazil and India, StudiVZ for Germany/Austria/Switzerland, VKontakte for Russia and Eastern Europe, and Facebook for the 'rest' of the world, as well as Twitter for the news.
Until present day, the site did not spent any money for commercial advertising. We prefer 'guerrilla marketing' fee of charge: Word of mouth is the best advertising..
We will continue our efforts to place Thailand on the map of international higher education in the eyes of the world.
