On Wednesday, November 5, 2025, Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary School, Chiang Mai University (MIdS CMU), organized a cultural learning activity on the Loy Krathong Festival for MIdS graduate students. The activity was held under the project “Promoting Thai Language Learning and Skill Development for International Students through Cultural Exchange Activities.”

The objective was to deepen understanding of Thai traditions and culture, enhance intercultural communication and adaptation in a multicultural environment, and create an informal learning space that supports practical Thai language development through learning by doing. The activity also aimed to strengthen relationships between international students, Thai students, and MIdS staff.
