"I had such an incredible experience in Thailand, and it was due in large part to a member of the Thailand Pathways team sharing all his love for and knowledge of that beautiful country. He was great and I would absolutely recommend going to Thailand through his organization. 10/10!"

"A member of the Thailand Pathways team literally changed my life. Most life changing experience. Your gift is definitely what he does. I was in Thailand for 6 month's, he showed me the every behind the scenes thing he could. I honestly couldn't ever repay him for all he did for me. He always went way above and beyond. He was always a call away with great advise or a translation much needed. I would recommend anyone to him knowing they 100% will get the best exsperance."

"A member of the Thailand Pathways team provided insight like no other to international students, exposing them to cultural cues that would otherwise be available to internationals. During my time in Thailand, he was quick to help after a freakish incident involving an insect bite. He is knowledgeable in southeast Asian culture, which in turn will leave students loving Asia, wanting to come back for more raw and authentic experiences."

"I first met a member of the Thailand Pathways team when I arrived in Thailand for my study abroad program. He welcomed me with a huge smile and open arms. Ever since that moment, he made sure everything was comfortable and easy for my time in Bangkok. Food, Money, Shopping, Culture, Taxis, and everything else, he made it become second nature for us. He was like a second father and family. He made my time in Thailand the best few months of my life."

"It amazed how the team member supporting us was always there for you, any minute, even though he had about 20 other students in the program. He truly loves and appreciates Thailand, yet still remembers that it is many Westerners first times in Asia. That being said, I've seen many times his support and encouragement to go outside your comfort zone while he was still there for assistance."

"The team member supporting me had knowledge of Thailand that truly made our visit everything we wanted. He explained to us Thai culture, customs, and gave us unforgettable experiences. He was there for us whenever we needed him (including hospital visits to translate) and cares deeply about his students. There is no one more qualified for the job. He truly loves what he does and it shows"

"I was truly blessed to have them when I was over seas. He helped me so much during my time studying in Thailand. If it wasn't for them I would not have faired nearly as well during my time abroad. They are extremely knowledgeable on Asia and helped out whenever I or any of his students were in need."

"There is no one better in orienting you to Thailand with a true, genuine cultural immersing experience. As a student 6 years ago and now working abroad in Thailand I am a living testament to their staffs' operation"

"The team member supporting me was always full of great ideas! If you got on the wrong bus after school or needed an afternoon activity he always knew just what to do."

"To gain a true perspective of my view you need a little history. My son left home to study abroad. To say, as a Mom, that I was terrified is an understatement. My child had never been to many places outside of our regular family vacations to the beac…"

"A member of the Thailand Pathways team is not only concerned about the needs of students, but also of the Thai culture and people. I have yet to meet many foreigners as passionate about Thailand as him. He wants students to learn from Thailand, and T…"
