Asian University’s August International Summer University is under way

The first week they stayed at the University campus, with lectures, social activities, visits to Pattaya, etc. On Thursday the tourism students went out to local attractions including the Food and Hoteliers Expo at PEACH, the Royal Cliff Hotel and the Floating Market where they were taken round by Manager Klaus Jergen. They loved the variety of products on sale, and laughed when they had their feet nibbled by fish. They also enjoyed the zip-line over the lake, feeding a 114 year old elephant and then the gentle boat ride through the market. The students are already planning another visit to the market.

The business group visited many contrasting local sites, including Ban Amphur market, the Portofino condominiums, the local school and temple in Huay Yai and also learned about some of the local agriculture (cassava, pineapples and rubber) and industry including charcoal burning. One of the most interesting visits was to Worasan Farm, Hua Nong village, where they saw Chonburi Diamond, a beautiful prize winning bull.

The students have spent the weekend on Koh Samet and then move to the Sea Breeze Resort in Jomtien.
