Personal spending habits
Life is VERY cheap; food, entertainment, travel, shopping - everything! Go to Bangkok with an empty bag and return homw tih 2 large ones! If you need European food and enjoy expensive restaurants and night clubs too often, however, you expenses can easily surpass European levels!!!

Personal comments
turned out to be MUCH cheaper than planned (and I study finance, huh-huh!) - had more than enough with about 500-600 Euros a month... even including a diving course and various journeys, loads of shopping and more!

Course recommendations
Interaction with the Thai students is hard if you don´t speak Thai; do not see the Chula kids as normal Thais - their behaviour is quite unusual in this country; Courses by foreign teachers tend to be better-prepared and grading does not take 2 months as with my Thai teacher...

Thai students at Chula are mostly not too serious about project work; be careful with your inputs, do not cause them to "lose face"!!!

Boring, unfriendly, xenophobic, polluted, and cold.
MariW
Germany, Undergraduate
, 2018
Overall
Be prepared to face a noisy, vulgar and a polluted city. However, it's also a city that's deadly boring,
and its universities are famed for being corrupted and amongst the worst in the world, and I can verify that.

If your expectations are "Netflix and Chill", you're gonna be good. However, if you're hoping to make friends, get a girlfriend or a 
boyfriend, be prepared to face people who are incredibly uptight and cold. 

Smile is just a veneer of sorts, it doesn't really mean anything.
Because culture itself encourages people (and students) to suppress their emotions, smile can mean lies (which are socially acceptable), it can
mean envy (and there's a lot that here because of corruption) or backstabbing. 

Teaching is just the worst, lots of screaming and yelling, 
passive-aggression, and you end up feeling hated by your teachers who all have a chip on their shoulders. Oh yeah, group work is something to avoid.
It's just juggling with a lot of ego's and students who want to be in charge but want no responsibilities, and Thai students are about 13 years old mentally.
They LOVE their drama and their soap operas and performing in class. City's incredibly loud, polluted, and noisy. 

Lots of traffic.

Backstabbing galore! People are so unnecessarily mean and unpleasant, especially if it's education or government we're talking about.

April to June is the hottest period. June to October - rainy. Hot as hell, humid, polluted, and passive-aggressive city full of shallow people.

What could possibly go wrong? So if you can tolerate that sort of nonsense, give it a try or you can just throw your money in the toilet.

Pros
You really get to value good education when you experience country where people tear each other down in classrooms and in personal life
Cons
Plenty, pick if it's the unfriendly fake people, corruption, pollution, or noise
