Taste the REAL Thailand with CACS!

Get a taste of real Thai flavors, culture, lives, and more with the Naresuan University College of ASEAN Community Studies! Strategically located in the heart of Thailand's lower north, this key historically frontier area of the country has gone through transformations; from ancient home of Thai culture, to front line of historic battles with neighboring kingdoms, to guerrilla warfare with a Communist insurgency during the cold war, and today now a key link on the East-West pan-ASEAN economic corridor. From the Myanmar border in Mae Sot to the edge of Laos and Thailand's northeast, this part of the country has been a historical point of both clash and coming together of three major cultures. Let CACS guide you through the transformations changing the shape of Southeast Asia as seen in microcosm throughout this region; environmental change and preservation, infrastructural development, and efforts to ensure human security in the face of multiple challenges while trying to grab hold of new opportunities in tourism and connectivity.
