Asian Institute of Technology (AIT)

Living costs at AIT are low. You can also buy food at nearby Talad Thai market and cook yourself.

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.

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!

Somentimes is difficult to comunicate with local students because of the different accent.

I could not have asked for more : around 23 m², for 75 euros, cleaning servive once a week, nice neighboors (asian students), kitchen, bathroom, desk...
