Boring, unfriendly, xenophobic, polluted, and cold.
MariW
Germany, Undergraduate
, 2018
Overall
Be prepared to face a noisy, vulgar and a polluted city. However, it's also a city that's deadly boring,
and its universities are famed for being corrupted and amongst the worst in the world, and I can verify that.

If your expectations are "Netflix and Chill", you're gonna be good. However, if you're hoping to make friends, get a girlfriend or a 
boyfriend, be prepared to face people who are incredibly uptight and cold. 

Smile is just a veneer of sorts, it doesn't really mean anything.
Because culture itself encourages people (and students) to suppress their emotions, smile can mean lies (which are socially acceptable), it can
mean envy (and there's a lot that here because of corruption) or backstabbing. 

Teaching is just the worst, lots of screaming and yelling, 
passive-aggression, and you end up feeling hated by your teachers who all have a chip on their shoulders. Oh yeah, group work is something to avoid.
It's just juggling with a lot of ego's and students who want to be in charge but want no responsibilities, and Thai students are about 13 years old mentally.
They LOVE their drama and their soap operas and performing in class. City's incredibly loud, polluted, and noisy. 

Lots of traffic.

Backstabbing galore! People are so unnecessarily mean and unpleasant, especially if it's education or government we're talking about.

April to June is the hottest period. June to October - rainy. Hot as hell, humid, polluted, and passive-aggressive city full of shallow people.

What could possibly go wrong? So if you can tolerate that sort of nonsense, give it a try or you can just throw your money in the toilet.

I am sure you'll enjoy it! Some travel tips: koh tao (perfect for diving); koh samet (for a short weekendtrip); koh phi phi; koh similan; chiang mai (hike)... There will be some situations where you just wanna cry - but later you will laugh about it...

Disappointed when chosen Chulalongkorn University
John
Italy, Graduate
, 2020
Overall
The first, I appreciate Chulalongkorn University gives me an opportunity to study here as an exchange student. However, this University has some issues:
- The facilities are quite old, especially the air conditioner has a bad smell.
- The schedule is not suitable, students must study 6 subjects per week, and 3 hours of class every evening. 
- The process is too slow. I got a scholarship for 4 months studying, but nobody explains why they delay it until 3 months. 
- The behavior is not good. 
Finally, the rental is expensive, not good enough. (Cu ihouse)
