On January 18, 2025, students from the School of Global Studies (SGS) at Thammasat University went on an inspiring field visit to The Ocean Cleanup in Bangkok, Thailand. This visit was a unique chance for undergraduate and graduate students to see innovative strategies for tackling plastic pollution in the Chao Phraya River.

A Dive into Innovation and Sustainability

During the visit, students discovered how advanced technology is reducing plastic waste in the river. This effort supports sustainability goals while creating a cleaner environment for future generations. They saw real-world applications of technology for solving environmental issues, which was both educational and inspiring.

This visit highlighted the importance of combining education with practical problem-solving. It encouraged students to imagine how they could contribute to similar impactful projects. Moreover, the insights gained from the visit will help shape their understanding of sustainability and social innovation.
