On July 29, 2025, a group of 20 students from Hechi University returned to China after successfully completing a 17-day study program at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT) in Thailand. The students came from various majors like Thai （Business）, Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Physical Education, Music, Music Education, Product Design, and Fashion Design.

Hosted by RMUTT's Business School (RTBS), the program provided comfortable accommodation, convenient transport, and helpful student buddies. It included diverse learning and cultural activities like business and arts classes, cultural site visits, market research, and Thai food tasting, which allowed the students to fully immerse themselves and gained rich rewards.

Students experienced Thailand's higher education system, especially its focus on vocational training, practical teaching, and interactive classes. With help from their buddies, they compared Thai and Chinese education styles and gained new ideas for their studies and future.
