Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the underlying factors for Thai students’ destination choice as well to explain the relationship between the influencing factors and decision making process of Thai students. Push and pull factors were used to explain the motivation underpinning students’ choice of study destination. A total of 660 self-administered questionnaires were distributed using convenience sampling at OCSC International Education Expo 2013, organized by the Office of Civil Service Com- mission (OCSC), on 2 November 2013, of which 640 were used for analysis. The results showed that both push and pull factors proposed in this study significantly influenced Thai students’ destination choice. It was found that the suitability of the environment factor and recommendations of friends and family were components of country characteristics (pull factor), which have the greatest influence on Thai student’s destination choice. Thai students’ destination choice was also influenced by the cost of education and degree (content and structure), physical facilities and resources and the value of educa- tion. On the other hand, personal factors is the push factors that can influence Thai students’ destination choice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
