From the moment that I stepped out of Suvarnabhumi Airport and the wave of humidity hit me, I knew I was home. I haven’t been to Thailand in at least 5 years and when the email came through to study abroad for two weeks with BUILD, I jumped on the opportunity! The entire experience was…

I’m walking onto the UTS campus for the start of a new spring semester still riding my holiday high. One look at the UTS library and my dream finally comes to an ends. Thailand was a good dream, not the kind where it’s all fluffy clouds and candy flowers, but more like a fast paced…

I find myself now, back in Australia, thinking about and reflecting on my experience. At first, a few memorable moments come to mind; sitting by Lake Geneva, enjoying the sun with friends and food; enjoying the view from a cable car, as it slowly ascends a mountain; dipping my feet into an icy lake, well…

31st July 2016. This marks the end of probably the most adventurous month that I have experienced to date. I wasn’t in Thailand for too long, in fact, it has only been two weeks. It still doesn’t seem like it though, because it felt like I was there for an entire semester. Within the short…

Arriving all alone in the city of Bangkok late at night was a little frightening. I was tired and only had a few notes to get me from the Airport to the hostel where I would stay one night before starting the BUILD program at KMUTT. This dark lonely place of scammers and people trying…

There are very few words that could sum up the amazing experience gained on this trip. KMUTT itself was an amazing education hub and was quite the cultural experience in comparison to UTS. The location itself was out of the way of the city and I felt that added to the experience of it, travelling…

As I exited the plane about 4 weeks ago and the humid heat pushed me aback, I had a feeling an experience of a lifetime was about to take place. As a child I had travelled quite frequently around the world, but Thailand is a place which has honestly blown me away, and in that way…

Thailand a country in which I was raised in for 8 years- so you’d wonder why I would go back for an exchange when I could have applied for trips to Japan, America, Switzerland… etc. But the place wasn’t what mattered to me, what mattered to me was going through the experience. Going on academic…

Thailand is a weird and wonderful place. I have heard many stories from many people about how this unique country can exist in today’s stringent society. My experiences in Thailand did not counter these stories, however I was fortunate enough to see the other side of Thai society.Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, with a population…

My experience in Bangkok was vivid. I met some amazing people, and saw a side of Bangkok I suspect most tourists never get to see. The trip was a part of UTS’s BUiLD Program, which encourages students to travel overseas to experience learning in a new environment. I chose the ‘Engineering and Climate Change’ program…
