Abhisit Maneewan, a Laotian sophomore student at the university, said that he believed that Khon Kaen University had the expertise to develop his language skills and provide him with knowledge about International Affairs, his major. "My father, who is a consul at the Lao Consulate in Khon Kaen, told me to register at Khon Kaen University because it is a famous university in Thailand. And the international course will benefit me in my career which is working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," he said.
