STUDYING IN THAILAND
Thailand, the “land of the free,” is also known as “the land of smiles.” Although Bangkok records the highest temperatures of any capital city in the world and is choked with smog and traffic—sometimes worsened by wandering elephants—Thailand is one of Asia’s most popular tourist destinations. Among the lures is a culture never modified by Western colonization, reflecting the diverse influences of China, Burma and the religion of Buddhism, which teaches hospitality and kindness. Equally irresistible are Thailand’s luxurious beaches, plentiful ancient ruins and glorious Buddhist temples. .
School
School is one of the best places for you to meet people and make friends during your time in Thailand. Thai schools are the center of life for Thai youth, and their social lives revolve around school. Most schools are also the center of the community, and teachers are considered important respected.
LIVING IN THAILAND
Lifestyle and Family Living
Thais are generally respectful and reserved. They are also caring, warm-hearted and sensitive, and they find it difficult to say “no.” Extended Thai families are very close (which will give you a chance to visit your host relatives nearby) and are customarily patriarchal. Both parents usually work. Caring for the children and managing the household are generally the responsibility of the wife. The father is more involved with work outside the home.
Dress and appearance
Outside of school, teenagers dress similarly to those in western countries. A conservative approach to clothes is best. Thin cotton should be your wardrobe’s basic material due to high temperatures and the humid climate. A jacket or sweater may be useful in the cool season, especially in the mountains to the north and northeast. For students from many countries such as Germany, the U.S. or Australia, clothes are inexpensive to purchase.
