Many people ask me which institution I graduated from, and I can proudly say every time that it is IST, the International School of Tourism. They provided opportunities and taught me to have vision, to build a career, generate income, and create a reputation. They taught me to be a good person, to have leadership qualities, and to know how to give back to society. Moreover, they helped me see a clearer picture of my own future. https://www.facebook.com/sakaibar.khaolak

Thanadon Noonoi

CEO of Khaolak Jungle

Tourism is like a gateway to the wider world, opening up freedom of thought and imagination. That’s why I chose IST. They turn dreams into reality. The IST family was my first step in gaining learning experiences, and it was the starting point of my successful career journey.
