Not sure about you in a Borat style Mankini at the pool, that will cause the student to run for cover ! Thanks for the education pricing details, Yisa and I will be funding our Neices and Nephews who choose uni through the process. Best from us both. Nick & Yisa.

    Perfect place for a student. A great time of my life was college...its great to be young, even though you don't appreciate it until you're older looking back
    On a side note...at the beginning of the video you showed scooter drivers driving the wrong way on a one way street. When I was out there in April and rented a scooter, I couldn't believe how common it was to see that constantly and at night there were more scooters with no lights than those with....I was on full alert driving...pure adrenaline.

    Lovely daughter. Bangkok has plenty of ready made food around, but as a back up for a quick breakfast or late night snack/meal , you can hard boil and peel a dozen eggs at a time and keep them in your fridge in a sandwich bag. Take one out and sprinkle salt and pepper and add an apple or fruit, and you have one meal done. For a late night snack or meal, mash one or two boiled eggs to some rice and add some pork floss and a sprinkle of Maggi and you have a filling meal. Eggs are a better alternative to any cereal which is basically sugar.

    Good that your daughter is OK with taking the Songthew I must admit I would just get a taxi or use the car. Suggestions for future videos are the Talad Thai large market where all the food from up north comes from to large wholesale market, ideal even for a group of 5 university students to order. Thammasat University where the Asian games were held and also lots of bars (just like your student union days).
    Thai Summer Palace a place that not many tourists go but it is steeped in history. Dream World the Thai equivalent of Disneyland.

    Good choice of a degree, with lots of future opportunities. All, or most, aspects of work life is conducted online nowadays, and marketing especially so with the current emphasis on websites, social media and so on. Communication departments are very digital, as well. Personally I love Uni. Studying can be a very benefical and productive experience.

    It’s Bangkok! Of course you’ve got motorcycles coming the wrong way! 😂🤣😂🤣 while my wife and I were over a couple of weeks ago, and had crazy amounts of houses and meetings to get to, so I rented a bike for week 2. I’ve been riding bikes for a bit over 50 years and done awful close to 500,000 km in a whole lot of different parts of the world. Bangkok, and not long after, Saigon, were the two cities that gave me pause to ride in. No, that’s not really true. They scared the shit out of me, frankly! But, now I’ve conquered Krung Thep Maha Nakhon…nahhh. Who am I kidding, I’m never going to bother trying to ride on 2 wheels in Ho Chi Minh city!

    • @inquisitor4635
      @inquisitor4635 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      All the latest data reveals the vaccine does not stop you from getting or spreading the virus.
      And masks do not block virus particles, but become so drenched and concentrated in virus after 20 minutes of wearing them that it turns the mask into an infection vector.
