The departure of the participants was divided into two groups, namely from the Yogyakarta route consisting of two participants and the other participants via the Jakarta route. All participants will gather together upon arrival at Chiang Mai Airport, Bangkok.

Upon arrival in Chiang Mai, IGOV UMY students received a warm and friendly welcome from the airport staff. The officers really helped the students when they checked their passports and asked about the goals of IGOV UMY students going to Thailand.

Aside from that, living in the Land of White Elephants forces them to try to enforce order in accordance with Thai rules and culture, one of which is the rules for using public restrooms. Unlike in Indonesia, toilets in Thailand do not require the use of a lot of water, so participants must keep the toilets clean and dry. In addition, not all Thai people can communicate using English, so participants use sign language in order to communicate well with Thai people. Another alternative is using Google Translate as an effective means of communication while in Thailand.
