Thailand is fairly cheap in all categories compared with Western Europe. Telephon is still equal, because less expense was made up by more long distance calls. Travelling is more, because we travel more in Thailand, than in England or Germany, but it is still comparably cheap.

Personal comments
With my German bank it proved to be difficult to transfer money to the branch of the Thai bank on campus, although I still do not quite understand why? Cost for Visa in Thailand just increased. Otherwise everything locally made or service related is cheap, any imported about the same as in Europe.

Thai is a beautiful language, but kind of tough to learn. After 3 months basic conversational skills can be acquired if you make an effort.

Nightlife in BKK city is not so cheap, but still OK. Food on campus is cheap and bad. Very poor quality of the food in the cafeteria.

The language of instruction is in either Uni English. Due to my year abroad as exchange student, my frequent travels to the US and my internship in NY, I did no face any problms with English. In Thailand however most the staff is national, and depending on the department, the level of English varies. Thus you might face some problems here and there. But in general you can make yourself understood. Patience is a bare necessity in the Thai culture.
