AIT’s current enrolment of 18 students from the People’s Republic of China is low by historical standards. This was the view of China’s Ambassador to Thailand, H.E. Mr. Guan Mu, on learning last week that AIT has produced over 700 alumni from China.

One byproduct of this financial success has been the recent long march of Chinese students towards international educational destinations. But less understood, perhaps, is the fact that Thailand’s higher learning system earns high marks in the Middle Kingdom, and it is now a popular choice for many young Chinese seeking a study-abroad experience.
