Feature

Bangkok

Bangkok, capital of Thailand and one of Asia's most dynamic cities, is the heart and soul of the country. This frantic and steamy tropical city offers surprises at every turn. The best part about Thailand is one can get a quality education at a very affordable price and what is even better is that one gets to stay very close to home. This makes Thailand a better alternative to the conventional locations that students usually travel to education. Adding to that is the amazing friendly nature of the Thai people and the feeling of security. Thailand is also currently the business hub just after Singapore and Malaysia. Bangkok is home to one of the leading universities in Asia, Assumption University of Thailand or more popularly known as ABAC. ABAC currently harbors students from 71 different nations. The students come from many ethnic and racial backgrounds. Fortunately due to the friendly nature of the Thai students and the people in Thailand, the prospect of parting with loved ones is much easier to bear. Many of these international students come from Bangladesh. Like most developing countries, Bangladesh contains numerous students who have the desire to study and graduate from a university abroad that gives them the best quality of education with the exposure gained from studying in a foreign country.
