There is NOTHING to do around AIT. The nearest shopping mall is Future Park, which is about 15 km away. To go to Bangkok city takes about 1 hour by shuttle bus and costs 30 baht one way. Taxi takes about 45 minutes but costs about 250 baht. During the semester I seldom had time to go into bkk. AIT campus is peaceful, or boring, depending on how you see it... In BKK there are too many great nightspots to mention here. It is only too bad that BKK is quite far away from AIT.

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Pathumthani is pretty far from Bankok so I missed the city life after a while. If I had stayed a second semester, I had rather live in Bangkok for the second one.

The campus is really good value for money, especially as compared with European accomodation. Ir is preferable to choose a room with air con though, because it is hot there!

Why?

AIT is quite far from Bangkok (about 40 kms), so it seems to be hard to live in Bangkok and to study at AIT at the same time. Moreover, life on the campus was very nice !
