Cultural Excursion in Chiang Mai for Exchange Students from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), Vietnam

On June 7, 2025, the Office of the President, through the Division of International Relations at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna (RMUTL), organized a cultural excursion for a delegation of 35 faculty members, staff, and exchange students from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), Vietnam. The group visited culturally significant sites in Chiang Mai, including Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Wat Pha Lat, and Wat Ched Yod.

This activity was part of the second iteration of the Physics Laboratory-Based Learning Program hosted by the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science and Agricultural Technology at RMUTL, held from June 3–12, 2025. The program aims to foster academic cooperation, student and staff exchange, and joint research between the two institutions. It focuses on practical, hands-on learning, offering students from UEH's Institute of Intelligent and Interactive Technologies the opportunity to engage in a variety of laboratory-based physics experiments through ten learning stations.

The excursion aimed to give students a deeper appreciation of Chiang Mai’s rich cultural heritage. They explored Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a revered and iconic temple of the city, as well as Wat Pha Lat and Wat Ched Yod, both known for their tranquil atmosphere and distinctive Lanna architecture. The students expressed great interest and admiration for the historical significance and beauty of these landmarks.

This cultural exchange activity not only promoted cross-cultural understanding and strengthened friendships between Thai and Vietnamese students, but also served as a stepping stone for sustainable international academic collaboration between the partner universities.
