i am an exchange student here in Thailand and i will stay here for only 10 months.
Two months are already passed, at first it was a bit hard, i had homesick and i really didn't understand this people and their culture. But now i am fall in love every day with this place, this people, mai pen rai is already my favorite world.
In this video you give a real description about how thai people are, they really help everyone and they are always smiling (not because they are happy, just because they think that a smile always help).
After two weeks i was here, my host sister asked me if i would like to go home alone, i said yes and i was really excited about this ( it was the really first time that i could walk alone in the street). My host family's house is 40 minutes away from school, for go home I had to take two different bus in two different place, and it still is a bit hard.
i lost myself 3 time in less that15 minutes that day, after that 10 different student that didn't speak english very well tried to help me as possible as they could, they talked with a taxi driver, and they also gave me a lift to the taxi station ( in the tai style, 3 people on a motorcycle without the helmet 55555). they helped me oven if they didn't know me, i will always be thankful to them and all my thai friend that help me everyday at school.
Thailand is a great country with great people.
