About Thailand Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, borders Laos and Cambodia to the east, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to the south, and the Andaman sea and Myanmar to the west. Thailand, blessed with a wealth of culture and traditions, stands out in the Southeast Asian region as a country of grace and pride. In terms of human resource development, the nation well realizes the challenges of the globalised world, and thus values highly international collaborative relationships. Thailand's unique cultural beauty is striking and graceful, allowing all who have come to experience it to appreciate the treasures of art, music and literature which have shaped the refined ways of Thai people's life, and harmonized their hearts in a time of happiness and haziness. Education system Thai higher education also has its diversity to offer. It has more than 3,000 programs of study in various areas of specialization, from undergraduate up to the doctoral degrees. It also meets the demands of local and international students who wish to enroll in programs using English as a medium of instruction, by providing over 350 such programs. The Thai government is dedicated to furthering the cause of education, as documented by the Education Act of 1999, the nearly 1,000 scholarships offered annually, and the huge push to enhance English education and to put Thai universities at the forefront of science and engineering.
