NSF's chemistry division and Office of International Science and Engineering jointly co-fund the University of California-Santa Cruz Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Organic Chemistry site in Bangkok, Thailand for the summers of 2005-2008. The program director is Rebecca Braslau, UCSC, who is assisted by Poonsakdi Ploypradith of Chulabhorn Research Institute, Bangkok, Thailand. This international ten week program is designed to give eight outstanding students from the United States an intensive, hands-on research experience in organic chemistry in Bangkok, Thailand in laboratories at Chulalongkorn University, at Mahidol University, and at the Chulabhorn Research Institute. Each American undergraduate will be paired with a Thai graduate student. The American REU students will be housed together at Chulalongkorn University. The International Affairs Office at Chulalongkorn University will offer the students an initial Thai culture, history and language course, which will be supplemented throughout the summer by cultural enrichment outings to important religious and historical locations. The program includes multiple research meetings throughout the summer, followed by a final Research Colloquium for both American and Thai student participants. In addition, the REU students will submit written research reports to complete their formal research experience. Student participants will be recruited from across the U.S. by posters and by web, partially in tandem with the existing REU program at U. C. Santa Cruz. Candidates will be evaluated on academic excellence in chemistry and an interest in experiencing a foreign culture, while striving to achieve a broad representation of minorities, women and students with disabilities.

美国国家科学基金会的化学部门和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助了加州大学圣克鲁斯分校在泰国曼谷的有机化学本科生研究经验项目，该项目于2005-2008年夏季进行。项目主任Rebecca Braslau来自UCSC，由泰国曼谷朱拉蓬研究所的Poonsakdi Ploypradith协助。这个为期十周的国际项目旨在让来自美国的八名优秀学生在泰国曼谷的朱拉隆功大学、玛希隆大学和朱拉蓬研究所的实验室中进行有机化学的密集实践研究。每名美国本科生将与一名泰国研究生配对。REU的美国学生将被安置在朱拉隆功大学。朱拉隆功大学的国际事务办公室将为学生们提供初步的泰国文化、历史和语言课程，整个夏天将通过到重要的宗教和历史地点进行文化丰富的郊游来补充。该项目包括整个夏季的多次研究会议，随后是美国和泰国学生参加的最后一次研究讨论会。此外，REU学生将提交书面研究报告，以完成他们的正式研究经历。学生参与者将通过海报和网络从美国各地招募，部分与加州大学圣克鲁斯分校现有的REU项目相结合。候选人将根据其在化学方面的优异成绩和对体验外国文化的兴趣进行评估，同时努力实现少数民族，妇女和残疾学生的广泛代表性。
