ANG THONG — A group of foreign exchange students took part in a cultural tourism and language-learning activity in Ang Thong province on Saturday, dressing in traditional Thai attire while learning about local history and producing English-language content to promote the province’s tourist sites.
The activity was organized by Wiset Chai Chan Witthayakhom School in cooperation with the AFS Thailand Foundation under a project titled “Angthong Tourist Guide for Ancestors,” aimed at strengthening students’ English communication skills and creative expression through real-world practice.
The students visited Wat Muang and Wat Khun Inthapramun, two major cultural landmarks in the province known for their historical and artistic significance and their popularity among both Thai and foreign visitors.
During the visit, the exchange students wore appropriate traditional Thai costumes and recorded short video segments in English introducing the history, importance and distinctive features of Wat Muang, with support from teachers and local students throughout the activity.
Organizers said the project was designed to integrate English-language learning with cultural tourism, while also promoting Ang Thong’s heritage from an international perspective and encouraging students to develop confidence, communication skills and appreciation for local culture.
They said the program also aims to foster awareness and pride among young people in preserving local cultural heritage in a sustainable way.
