It's Thailand. You live like a king at the same budget as you are trying to survive for in Europe. The only problem is... You will get used to live like a king.

Personal comments
Thai language is really hard to learn. Most of my classes were in English. I was surprised how some of the professors didn't master grammar because how did they get their PhD's?
Professor Jirawan's classes were in this botched English because she spend her education in France. Ok fair enough since most of us didn't speak Thai. But listening to someone's lecture for 3 hours in botched English witha French accent with incorrect grammar? How do you hold your job there FOR SO LONG like that?
