Before arriving in Thailand, I had no idea what to expect since this is the first time in Thailand and also first time travelling alone. I was worried whether or not I would be able to find my way around Bangkok, or if I would get into the wrong taxi and end up in a…

It was a challenging decision to join the program, wasn’t sure how it will turn out. There were so many questions in my head, I was worried till the moment I have arrived to the airport. For the first day, we went to explore the night markets around the KMUTT. I loved the fruit, freshly served and affordable. The food was…

From the moment we stepped beyond the threshold of the boeing’s cabin doors, we were greeted with relentless, incessant humidity that clung like a second skin. Over the successive 2 weeks, I grew to ardently love the dampness so unfamiliar from the dry oven-like climate that I had only ever known in Australia’s summers. I…

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…

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…
