This study explores the relationship between entrepreneurial passion, entrepreneurial intention, and the moderating role of entrepreneurship among Chinese international students in Thailand. Using a sample of 287 participants, the findings reveal that age and education level significantly influence entrepreneurial constructs, while gender, entrepreneurial experience, and birthplace do not have substantial effects. Correlation analysis indicates strong positive relationships among entrepreneurial passion, entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial intention, suggesting these constructs are inherently interlinked. The regression analysis demonstrates that entrepreneurship significantly enhances the impact of entrepreneurial passion on intention, highlighting its moderating role. However, complexities in the interaction between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurship were observed, suggesting a need for practical feasibility assessments beyond passion alone. The study recommends that educators and institutions foster entrepreneurial passion and practical skills through experiential learning, mentorship, and targeted interventions. Policymakers are encouraged to create supportive ecosystems that nurture entrepreneurship and provide resources for international student entrepreneurs.
