Abstract: Objective - General well-being (GWB) is important for students' mental wellness. This paper explores the motivations of Chinese students who study in Thailand and applies the push and pull model to explain how motivations influence life satisfaction (LS) and GWB. Methodology/Technique - 398 convenience samples from Dhurakij Pundit University were analysed. Findings - The results show that 'personal growth' is the most important push factor for motivation, whereas 'the convenience to go to other cities' is the most important pull factor for motivation. Moreover, overseas study motivations positively influence LS and GWB. Novelty - The theoretical and practical implications and study limitations are also discussed herein. Type of Paper - Empirical.
