Medical Shadowing & Healthcare in Thailand
Our original Thailand program: two weeks in Chiang Mai combining hospital rotations with global health lectures, cultural activities, and community visits. You'll visit Elephant Nature Park, take a Thai cooking class, try Muay Thai, explore temples, and wander the night markets. All meals are included, and English-speaking program leaders are with you the whole time.
Your team in Chiang Mai
Loop Abroad has had a team in Chiang Mai since 2009. Your program leaders aren't contractors flown in for the season. They live here, and they know the hospitals, the night markets, the temples, and the best khao soi in the old city. They've spent years building relationships with the hospitals and the community, and they'll help you feel at home in a city that might feel far from it at first.
