A Month in Thailand

William, a VMBS ambassador and Texas A&M junior, got to learn about veterinary medicine and conservation during a month-long education abroad trip in Thailand!

“I had many unique opportunities, such as providing rescue veterinary care to elephants and assisting in neutering stray dogs and cats,” William said. “I stayed overnight in a mountain village to learn about the sustainability practices of the indigenous people. I planted hundreds of trees, and I got scuba certified from conservation dives on the coral reefs surrounding Koh Tao.

“It was a great opportunity to learn about how a different culture embraces the animals and the environment around them,” he said. “Truly a life-changing experience!”
