Is your school only connected to one school in Thailand?

Some schools let students give proposals if the place/school they want to study abroad at are not currently offered.
If anything, you could always visit Thailand on a non-school related visit.

You can go there and study the military coupe that is taking place, might even make it back alive...

Sure thing :) Thank you. And Yes my school is connected to one of the universities there. It's just... The classes I would need to take for me major aren't available there which may lead me to falling behind in the courses that are only available once a year.

Do you still need credits from non-major courses? Depending on the school you need so many courses in certain areas to graduate even if they aren't major related.  I'm a biology major but I had to take so many math, humanities, English, foreign language, etc credits along with my required science courses. Most schools offer those basic courses that will transfer back so you wouldn't have to do as much catch up

If you want you can study there,  there are many good  foreign university  also. The place is very nice and got nice beaches. The exchange rate of US dollar to Thai Baht is very good. Food is amazing and most especially shopping. You should also prepare yourself for major adjustment of culture  especially the weather but right now the capital city is under military leadership so try to think first.

Get your degree and then take a vacation to visit.
Have a wonderful day!
