The International College organized the “Cultural Bites & Shadow Lights” project, welcoming participants including exchange students from Germany and Russia, students from Walailak University International College (WUIC), master’s degree students from the School of Liberal Arts, and doctoral students from the School of Pharmacy.
The activities focused on learning and experiencing local Thai culture. The program began with a visit for tea tasting at Kopi Shop (Kopii), followed by attending a traditional Nang Talung (Southern Thai shadow puppet) performance. Participants then enjoyed a Thai-style lunch before continuing to Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan, where they took part in a hands-on activity making Kanom La, a traditional Southern Thai dessert. The group also visited the Old City Wall Market, where students experienced Thai ways of life and culture, including wearing traditional Thai costumes and watching a Manorah dance performance.
This project aimed to promote learning and appreciation of Thai arts and culture, strengthen mutual understanding between Thai and international students, and support sustainable cultural exchange through meaningful intercultural experiences.
