Personal comments
You get what you pay for in terms of quality. Not a lot. Why not study in Beijing, Shanghai or Hong-Kong? You're not allowed to work nor volunteer. Good luck securing some sort of United Nations internship because most of things in Thailand work because of connections. You, presumably, a Western person won't have high status in Bangkok. If you want to have a great exchange, I would advise Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong. I don't know who goes these days in Bangkok to forge friendships and create life-changing experiences?

Personal comments
Snotty and vapid Thai students. Group work is definition of hell. If you do well, you make someone else "lose face". Petty backstabbing and gossiping. Your conversations will be basic. Even though Thai students know English, you'll tire quickly of hearing them brag where they lived or studied. You'll have to experience for yourself how utterly vapid this is.

Why?
It is better to have a look first and see if the management seems ok or if they have too many house rules and service charges.
