This student event is held by, for and from the students here at WUT. Starting with a fashion show exhibiting the native dress of the cultures & countries listed below, the students move on to a music and performance section of the program. While it’s a formal dress party, many opt to wear national costume as the option, representing the student nationalities at Webster Thailand.

Study Abroad Experiences

Webster University Thailand – Study abroad students share their experiences in Thailand

Webster Student rides Tour de Thailand to help raise money for Operation Smile

My name is Michael Conroy and I would like to take a moment to tell you about this amazing experience for a worthy cause. I am a new student at Webster University Thailand – Bangkok center, pursuing a Master’s Degree in International Relations. Although I am new to Webster, I am not new to Thailand. Before my arrival in Bangkok, I was persuaded by John Graham, a Webster Thailand Alumni from the spring 2008 class, to participate in the Tour de Thailand. This 2,300km bicycle ride from Cháng Mai to Phuket benefits Operation Smile and the Thai Foundation for the Blind in Bangkok. The Tour de Thailand is the signature charity tour of the Tour de Asia Bicycle Touring Company, owned and operated by Christopher Byrd, who just happens to work out of Hua Hin, near Webster’s Cha-am campus.
