Seeing the medals in these students’ hands, it is obvious how successful the schools under Marmara Educational Institutions. They have the opportunity to represents both Thailand and Turkey abroad. Apparently, they showed their best representing Thailand in last year’s International Language and Culture Fest in Turkey. Ministries should back such events.” Chaisaeng further said he would be glad to have more Turkish schools in his country.
