Aside from in-class activities, Rizza explored KKU through outdoor programs.

Khon Kaen (15/2) Study Tour is a fun agenda for students, including Khon Kaen University Humanities and Social Science Students (HUSO KKU). The study tour is an annual event that they hold for their students. This event was held again after the COVID-19 case in Thailand.

Moch Noerizza Triananta is an IGOV UMY student who is carrying out student exchange program activities at Khon Kaen University in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science. For one semester, Rizza studied at HUSO KKU from October 2022–April 2023. Therefore, Rizza had the opportunity to join the study tour program held by HUSO KKU.

This event took place on February 12-15, 2023, and went off without a hitch. Departing from HUSO KKU at 8:00 a.m., the event took place on time because none of KKU students arrived late, this is the difference between Thailand and Indonesia, said Rizza. This study tour lasts for two days, during which time KKU emphasizes more on shaping the character of youth in Thailand. This can be seen from the places visited such as the Thai Struggle Museum which tells about the early history of Thailand’s founding by the first king.

After that, the students were invited to visit a beach in Thailand, and they were asked to plant mangroves in order to instill the value of preserving the sea for future generations. Riza said this was an exciting and very enjoyable experience. “The program is very exciting, Mas, this is the first time for a study tour, but the big theme is instilling values in the nationality of a country and protecting the environment. Yes, even though the majority of Thai people don’t speak English, Thai students are still very friendly and want to guide me.” Said Rizza (FLT)
