In addition to the main activities, the VKU students also had the opportunity to visit famous historical and cultural sites in Thailand, such as Wat Arun Temple and Wang Lang Market–two iconic locations rich in the heritage of Bangkok. Students were not only able to admire the unique architecture of Wat Arun with its tall towers reaching towards the sky, adorned with colorful ceramics but also experience the diverse shopping atmosphere at Wang Lang.

Notably, as part of the program, VKU students conducted interviews with tourists at these sites to understand the challenges they faced. From the collected information, the teams proceeded to research, analyze, and develop solution ideas, which they then presented to a panel of judges at KMUTNB. This was a valuable opportunity for students to hone practical skills while enhancing their creative knowledge in an international environment.

The topics received high praise from the expert panel, affirming the research capabilities and practical application skills of VKU students.

With a strategy and orientation toward international outreach, the success of the Innovator’s DNA Bootcamp at KMUTNB not only affirms VKU’s international integration but also lays a solid foundation for the university to continue expanding its international cooperation activities.
