In other words, a variety of internationalizing methods including student and staff exchange, duo study programs, branch campuses, and distance learning can be implicated in all universities. Based on the mixed method, the major purposes of the study aimed to identify intercultural communication strategies used by Chinese students when interacting with Thais in a long-term Thai public university, as well as to investigate the Chinese students’ self-adaptation when encountering with their intercultural communication problems in a long-term Thai public university.
