This construction engineering internship in Thailand gives students the opportunity to participate in eco-construction projects with a strong focus on cultural heritage and environmental sustainability. Supervised by industry professionals, interns discover sustainable construction techniques adapted to tropical climates while exchanging knowledge about European and local building practices.
Interns will notably contribute to the restoration of a historic building over 125 years old and to the development of a cultural and ecological space on Phi Phi Island. The project includes bamboo construction, water and waste management infrastructure, and community facilities.
