Nils from Germany10 months High School Exchange Thailand, 2023
"One of the memories was going to a Thai dance club, it feels awkward in the beginning or talking Thai in the beginning, if people can’t speak English and just try It, it would be absolutely worth it, and in the end, it remained it as a memory that I’m very happy about now.
I was just very happy with OEG, and I am very happy about the support, there was always there, like every day you could text someone, and even though at the weekend, at holidays, you can just get the support"

“Your time in Thailand you will get out what you put into it. I am thankful for my relationships with my students and they are one of the biggest things I got out of my time teaching.
My time in Thailand helped set me up for success in my current role. Living and working in a small rural part of Thailand meant I adapted to life in Asia more quickly. I became fluent in body language and hand gestures when speaking with locals. Currently I am a primary caretaker for Sun Bear cubs in Borneo. I am in an even more rural part of the world but I felt prepared coming from Phusang. My schedule and my resources have constantly fluctuated here in Indonesia but teaching in a Thai school helped me learn to embrace adaptability and flexibility. Forming relationships with my students helped me learn that bonds could be formed regardless of languages, and I have connected with many of the local staff here and we speak very little of each other’s language.”
