Welcome to the AEI Thailand Alumni website.

The strong Australia-Thailand relationship is based on linkages which date back more than 55 years. Our current relationship covers a diverse range of fields such as trade and investment, regional security, law enforcement, defence, tourism and educational and research linkages.

Since our early collaboration thousands of Thais from all walks of life have successfully completed studies through Australian universities, vocational institutions, and schools or English language institutions. The majority of these graduates have returned to Thailand to pursue careers and contribute their invaluable knowledge to Thailand. Many of these graduates have maintained the relationships and friendships which they initiated during their time in Australia. We are proud that such a strong relationship exists and continues between our two countries.

This website has been developed to support Australian alumni, and we hope this site will become a common virtual space for alumni to get to know each other and maintain an existing relationship and friendship. The website notifies alumni of alumni function, networking activities, Australian scholarships, and professional development workshops, helping relationships to be established and knowledge and contacts to expand.

We value the contribution you are making to building stronger relationships between Thailand and Australia and look forward to be a central network facilitating this process. Remember that a great network starts with you.
