Asian Institute of Technology (AIT)

On the campus, there is only the SU café, but there are plenty of bars and nice places near Thamassat university (a good opportnuty to meet more Thai from different backgrounds). For night clubs, the best is to share taxis to Bangkok.

Thailand is a good place travel. The Thai are friendly though they can't speak fluent English. Take sometime to learn Thai language, it could be very helpful to travel around the country.

The AIT is not a nice place to live. If you have to, make sure you stay in the J or K dorms, they have aircon and are not quite as noisy as the other dorms, or in a part of the student village that is FAR from the garbage dump!

Because of the student accomodation and noise near the student dorms I would recommend people to think twice before studying at AIT.

Three main spots: Sukumvit area, Silom, Khao San Road. Latter is more a backpacker spot, the others are hit by Thais and foreigners almost equally. Each country has its own restaurant, but Thai food is delicous, if not minding spiciness. Fresh sea-food is especially around the Silom area quite good. The Hotel bars and lounges are a good civilzed start for the evening, and then it really depends... if you want to dig in the Thai culture a little more, just move a few blocks from the main spots, or alittle north of Bangkok. A must...? I would say a Thai disco, e.g. Dance fever, or Night Stadium (Rangsit), huge halls, with live performance. Real Thai, almost no foreigners.
