Special Thanks to my Patrick for graciously sharing his experiences studying here. We see so many videos of retirees, digital nomads, and English teachers as we generally have the most time to be making youtube videos but Bangkok is full of people making a living and staying here for many more reasons. This is just one story. There are also many expats working for multinational corporations way too busy to be making vlogs but if you know anyone willing to share their experiences please contact me!

Hey, could you please give me Patrick email or via app? I plan to study master of law Tammasat University. I need his help for my preparation. Reply me when you see my comment. liyonellison@gmail.com is my email.
Good job with this interview. Most exchange students here in Thammasat Ta Phra Chan Campus are either a student in special 1 year program or an exchange student. It is very interesting to hear the perspective of foreign student who studied here full time. The cost for LLB is high despite being in Government University is due to it being an international program. For example, for LLB it cost around 100,000 baht per semester (depends on how many class you registered). As for normal law program in TU, it cost around 14,000 baht per semester (could be more depends on how many class you registered). If I remembered correctly, you are required to take Thai class in the university if you are a foreigner (unless they changed that) which could be beneficial for foreigner. But not being fluent in Thai won’t make your study in international program more difficult since all the faculty staff can speak English. All the studying material are also in English. You have access to multiple libraries with English book section. You also have access to e-library with English books from around the world. As for Wifi, the university has a free one for you. You can use the fully air conditioned library to relax, sleep, use restroom and surf the internet for as long as you want (they even have movie room for you to watch movie for free). For LLB that Patrick is currently studying, they even have their own law library. You can also walk to Khao San road for party in weekend or take express boat in Chao Phraya into other major tourist area like Yaowarat (Chinatown), Asiatique, Central Pier for BTS, and many many temples. In another word, you are pretty much covered in both academic and lifestyle area. What Patrick said about TU being the top law school in Thailand is true (one of the tops in terms of academic, the top in terms of history). There are three faculties that is very famous here in Thammasat which are Economic, Law, and Political Science. Also, Thammasat have been expanding their international programs quite a lot too, Law is just one of them. There are other famous government universities that would make it easier for you to find job in Thailand like Chulalongkorn (ranked 245 worldwide, ranked 50 in Asia according to QS World University Rankings), Mahidol and many more. You can also use this bachelor to continue your study in Master or even PhD at many international universities both in Asia and others. There are plenty of opportunities here. You are not limited to just Thailand. Also, I recommended you to review Thammasat Rangsit Campus since that is their main campus. It is much bigger than Tha Phra Chan. The lifestyle of student there is totally different from us here in Tha Phra Chan. It also has a very big stadium because it is used to host 1998 Asian Games. I also recommended you interview foreign students at SIIT faculty (Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology). For some reason, that faculty seems to have a very high number of foreign students. Assumption University is also very famous private university for foreign student too, especially in BBA (Business Administration). Last time I was there, they have around 1,000 Chinese students there. AU also has a very good reputation in business sector in Thailand. Many got hired by business firm before they even graduated.
very nice interview well made, awesome questions, and very educational for people who wants to come and study there and I encourage you to do more and more interviews like that, great job , love your work .
Yup this is a story I've wanted to share as there are lot of people living out here and not just the retirees, english teachers, and sexpats you see on youtube. It's just that these people are too busy to be making TH-cam videos so you never hear of them. Special thanks to Pat for taking the time to share his life :)
Yup tried to keep it short. It’s not as in depth as my other ones but I felt it’s a more accessible style for many so made the comprise... glad you still enjoyed it!
This interview series is helpful and informative for people wanting to study. I actually studied overseas in China for two years and can relate to this.
In Thailand the most popular university is goverment university, becoz it is high standard and hard to entrance.parent will be pround,happy and appreciate if we can study in gov university. its cost is cheaper than the private uni.(except international course) .but in the otherhand, if we can not pass, we can apply to the private university that every step more easier if you have money to pay.
Hello, my friend! I recently discovered your Channel, and I am a FAN! I visited Bangkok last year for my first time and fell in love with Thailand. It has become my goal to move there in about 5 years. I do plan on returning next year and a couple more times before finally moving there, and have found your advice on moving and living in Bangkok to be very informative. I hope when I get back out there again, I can meet you!
Great interview. I see a career as a news correspondent. BTW a little confused. Are classes in English, what difficulties does the language barrier present?
Thanx to Patrick, I was totally unaware of the International Law School even though my granddaughter graduated from TU. I would have loved to teach there. Great VDO.
OMG Thank you for this!!! I’m returning there in 2020 with two teenagers. I’m so glad there’s university options in Bangkok for them, if they want to stay. I hope to meet you guys in my travels. Thx brother 😁
I_n_sis T I’m in the same boat. My 2 teenagers are working on graduating high school early @16. We plan to move there 2020/2021! We are starting to research universities now
I really love Thai Culture. due to the influence of Thai BL Series. I am planning to study Master of Law (LL.M) in Bangkok University. Thai people are cool and admirable . ฉันรักประเทศไทย #Fighting
Thank you. I am proud to be an Asian. "All persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law. In this respect, the law shall prohibit any discrimination and guarantee to all person equal and effective protection against discrimination on any ground such as Race, Colour, Sex (gender), language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status". -- Article 26 of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and Article 21 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
First of all, you need to step away from what society think is a norm. It doesn't matter of gender, age or status or whatever that keeps your heart close. Leave it, throw it away. LOVE IS LOVE GENDER IS NOT A FACTOR. NEITHER IS STATUS. IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL. - (c) Why R U [Thai BL Series]
Just to clarify, he's not paying much more than Thai students in the same program (the difference is just 10,000 THB/300 USD per semester). It seems more expensive than most average college tuition fee in Thailand because it's an international program.
Yes but compared to America it’s very affordable. Something that’s interesting to us is how government schools are more expensive than private because it’s always the other way around in America
@@livetravelasia Because that's how they make money for the school. Normal programs are usually cheaper than the private university's (10-20k per semester or even year.) It's just very competitive to get into those schools, especially Thammasat's laws or business schools. And they teach in Thai (although with English materials.) So you don't really have a choice if you can't understand Thai quite well to choose international one instead. But in Thailand, people compete to get into normal programs in government schools because they are more reputable and cheaper.
Patrick clearly made a great choice in terms of life experiences and I believe that type of focus more frequently leads to happiness than focusing on finances. However, if his goal of attending university in Thailand was primarily financial (minimizing costs and maximizing job opportunities) it might have been an unwise choice. Yes, US universities are overpriced and lead to huge debt. However, the opportunities to attend professional schools (Law, Medicine, Business, etc) in the US is greatly diminished with a Thai degree vs. a US degree. US professional schools are expensive, as well, but in the long run, they put you on a dependable track to financial success. The point I'm taking forever to get to, is that by saving money now, he is limiting his opportunity for financial success in the future. You get what you pay for. Similar to his story about apartments vs. condos in Thailand. The return on investment by paying more for the condo was worth it. I recommend 2 years of junior college, 2 years university (or join the military for four years and the GI Bill leaves you 100% debt free after receiving a university degree), teach abroad for a few years to gain life experiences/language skills/chip away at debt, and then attend a US professional school. Or, say to hell with the rat race and be content with a simple lifestyle.
Awesome awesome awesome! Do more of these videos please. Patrick seems such a great nice guy, I hope all the best for him. Does he study Thai language? How can he become a lawyer in Thai if he doesn't speak/write Thai in an excellent way? I don't understand. I have also an idious question, does he come from the south of US like Missouri or Iowa? I tried to guess from his accent, but I might be completly wrong.
He’s in the international law program so he’s not working to be a thai court lawyer. Most foreign lawyers out here deal w international trade issues so they speak English
I thought that lawyer is on the list of professions that is off limits to foreigners in Thailand. You can study law but can you practice law in Thailand?
richiesd1 yes you can’t technically be a lawyer but you are usually paid more to be a foreign “consultant”. Actually I’ve met quite a few lawyers working out here and they do quite well
LIVE TRAVEL ASIA, thanks for the clarification. A while back I read a list of professions off limits to foreigners. Foreigners can’t even be real estate brokers.
@@richiesd1 are you sure about the RE broker? Because on TH-cam there are foreigners RE brokers that show new condo videos like this guy: th-cam.com/video/tjHVzJ91ljw/w-d-xo.html Maybe he is not a RE broker by himself but he works for a Thai RE agency. But it sounds strange.
The problem with international undergraduate programs in Thailand is that there are not lots of options from top ranked universities, which are usually public universities. There are more options offered by private universities (similar to for-profit colleges in the US, easy to get in and graduate). Most of these private schools are mediocre - not terrible (with few exceptions for some programs) and never appear in any international rankings.
Yeah... Bangkok university doesn’t seem to bad however if you are interested in hotel or general marketing jobs. Honestly it’s still so cheap if it was me I’d jus let go to a government university
Hi! Thanks for the video. I am planning to study Law in Thailand and I was so confused regarding the choice of University. Plus there's not many ppl who have shared their experience before so this video actually resolved most of my doubts. Though i am still not sure whether TU offers 3-yrs Law program or not to Int'l Students who already possess Bachelor's Degree in different field & couldn't come across much information regarding the same. Can you pls ask your friend Patrick whether TU offers 3 yrs Law Degree or not? Would be really grateful. Once again thank you for this video. Keep up the good work From: India 😊
This uni offers only 4 years program in Thai business law in english instruction. The first 2 years mainly focus in Thai law and the rest is your choices, depending on your module. You can also intern with the law firms and international organization like ICRC. They also offer a seat to the international student. There will be at least one international student for every batches, as the average. If you are thinking of the diversity, i reccomend you that there is a mainly people who greduate from international schools or even GED. So, everyone mostly communicate in Thai. Only SOME of them communicate in English daily but as for the study, it is your choices. The professor are well-qualified with doctoral degree. You can expect top tier standard here too! The living expense depends on you. This degree enablers you to take a bar exam and qualify for the attroney's bar. The fees only a tuition is 200K baht per year or 7000 USD.
If you are from India, i suggest you to study in UK instead of Thailand as more professional paths or whatever. I know the guy in the video. There are even some graduates taking this course for a second undergrad degree too in order to work as a lawyer in Thailand.(Legal Consultant but not a practitioner.)
@@peemudombunyaluck904 Hey I'm a law student from India (just graduated). I'll be visiting Thailand soon! Any cool places I could visit - from a law student's perspective? I plan to visit the Supreme Court maybe
Germans seem to travel through here but not really live out here as much. But that's just compared to the English, Aussies, and Americans. There are still lots of Germans. I come across them in the film business quite a bit actually. Koreans on the other hand, lots of them. Combine them with the tourists and I think there are only more Chinese. Westerners confuse them for Chinese but I can tell you about a fourth of who they think are Chinese are Koreans when I go to the touristy places
I imagine the lawyers would know best what they can do or not under the law. There are tons of international lawyers here who consult. I alone know 3 of them and they work for the biggest law firms here
How could he practice law in Thailand since everything is in Thai? Even if he gets a job with foreign company in Thailand , and let says he helps out with international trade law, that's still in Thai language any how.
Actually most of the cases he says is in English and international companies prefer native English speakers to interpret English documents as the documents are quite nuanced. As he is not Thai, he can't go to courts. They have to use a native Thai. So all foreigners practicing law are actually technically consultants. But he tells me on average they pay foreign consultants more than even the local Thai lawyers as there is a minimum pay threshold for foreigners working here. He says one of the biggest barriers to working here as a foreigner is not that they don't want to hire him, it's them justifying paying him two times as much as a local as there is a much higher minimum wage for foreigners. Also not being able to go to courts isn't an issue as they generally push for settlements in international law so going to court is really a nuclear option. Most of the large lawfirms dealing with international trade laws which is actually quite frequent here in Bangkok since there are so many international companies out here, are actually not Thai but western based law firms. Learnt quite a lot from him but didn't include it as most foreigners aren't going to come here to want to practice law. I think it's probably an easier option going for tourism management or something as there are a lot more jobs for foreigners in the hotel business it seems

How could he practice law in Thailand since everything is in Thai? Even if he gets a job with foreign company in Thailand , and let says he helps out with international trade law, that's still in Thai language any how.
Actually most of the cases he says is in English and international companies prefer native English speakers to interpret English documents as the documents are quite nuanced. As he is not Thai, he can't go to courts. They have to use a native Thai. So all foreigners practicing law are actually technically consultants. But he tells me on average they pay foreign consultants more than even the local Thai lawyers as there is a minimum pay threshold for foreigners working here. He says one of the biggest barriers to working here as a foreigner is not that they don't want to hire him, it's them justifying paying him two times as much as a local as there is a much higher minimum wage for foreigners. Also not being able to go to courts isn't an issue as they generally push for settlements in international law so going to court is really a nuclear option. Most of the large lawfirms dealing with international trade laws which is actually quite frequent here in Bangkok since there are so many international companies out here, are actually not Thai but western based law firms. Learnt quite a lot from him but didn't include it as most foreigners aren't going to come here to want to practice law. I think it's probably an easier option going for tourism management or something as there are a lot more jobs for foreigners in the hotel business it seems
It international program
It's hilarious that your title is a budget law degree because this law degree is the most expensive law degree in Thailand.
Haha yeah that is ironic. I guess budget is definitely a relative word lol
