Why Host a Student from Taiwan?

🌏 Cultural Enrichment

• Thai culture is unique and deeply rooted in traditions like respect for elders, Buddhism, and family values.
• You’ll get to experience Thai customs, language, cuisine, and holidays such as Songkran (Thai New Year) or Loy Krathong (festival of lights).
• Your family gains a global perspective right from your living room.

🤝 Strong Family Values & Respect

• Thai students are typically very polite, respectful, and appreciative, which makes for a smooth hosting experience.
