What, 10 pound somtam?!

1. It took you a while to understand "Freshers' Week."

Ohhh, it’s basically rub nong--duh!

Hmm, not quite…

Although you might struggle to understand what they’re saying.

 

3. You know you’re so much luckier than your friends who decided to go study in the US because: 

a) Only 10 hours to go… 

Better than your 24 hours

b) No problem with getting ID'd #winning 

 

4. You started off with the Asian flush...

But developed a liver of steel by graduation.

 

5. It's annoying when people say you sound American...

But everyone at home accuses you of sounding like the Queen.

 

What's up with all the rrrrrs? 

 

 

6. You’ve been greeted with a “Ni Hao” at least once.

 

7. You started off converting everything into Thai baht...

But stopped completely after one term.

 

8. Christmas in your mind:

In reality:

Why did no one tell me everything was gonna be cold... and shut?! 

 

9. The real joy comes the day after…

Which also means...

The struggle is real. 

 

10. You’ve visited Wimbledon at least once for this...

Defo not for him.

 

11. People at home think you go to Hogwarts...

Thaaat's not entirely true. 

 

12. You swore you wouldn’t take part in the Thai Society...

But turns out Thai Night is actually kind of enjoyable.

 

13. Putney means more than just a train station.

 

14. You’re willing to take the train all the way to London, regardless of where you are.

 

And do a cheeky stop by this place.

It’s my Platinum/Pratunam

 

15. You’ve attempted to cook Thai food...

After heading over to Chinatown for cheap Thai ingredients... 

Because Thai restaurants are sooo high-end.

10 pounds for a somtam?!?

 

16. But you still eat out more than any other home students.

Is this not the best thing in the world?! #nandoswins

 

17. You would totally fly to Europe all the time...

 

If only getting a Schengen visa wasn't suchhh a pain.

80 pounds for 5 days?!

 

18. You wonder why there’s nowhere to go after 5pm on Sundays.

 

19. You now realize the library can be someone’s second home.

 

20. A trip to the GP makes you miss Bangkok hospitals.

 

 

21. You’ve been asked about ladyboys, muay Thai and prostitutes...

...about as much as the monarchy and elephants.  

 

22. You moan about wanting to go home because of:

a) The weather

b) The food

c) The weather

 

23. Then summer comes along and it's all so much better... 

Especially when Pimm's is involved.

 

24. And every time you look back at your university days, you know that those were probably the best days of your life.
