CMRCA bases its educational programs in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Chiang Mai has long been a melting pot for the many cultures located in Thailand, Burma, Laos and China. This diversity, combined with the many NGO’s and educators who are based in Chiang Mai make it an ideal place to begin cultural explorations into Thailand’s mountainous north. Lectures, culture and language orientations, and preparations for field courses provide a strong opening element to any educational journey.
