Overview

American Corners (ACs) in Thailand are one-stop centers for information about the United States.  They are partnerships between the U.S. Embassy in Thailand and host institutions.

Located at Chiang Mai University, Mahasarakham University, Prince of Songkla University (Pattani campus), and Yala Rajabhat University, the ACs aim to foster mutual understanding between Thailand and the United States through a variety of means including digital video conferences, hi-speed Internet access, and book and multimedia collections.  The ACs are used to stimulate dialogue with individual citizens, organizations, institutions and the media by providing information and cultural activities.

ACs in Thailand are open to the public during business hours. For more details on services and current programs at each AC, please contact them directly at the addresses below:
