First of all there is to say that, what you learn in three weeks on such a journey is priceless and is quite difficult to describe to people who weren't there themselves. Nevertheless, we want to share a few impressions of our experience through this ebook.

During the time we stayed in Bangkok, there was quite a difficult political situation going on there. Demonstrations were going on, streets and bridges were shut down and shopping malls became the centre of the gatherings of the demonstrators. They put down their tents on the streets and public places, which looked like a little village within a huge city. Although we knew something was going on in this metropole we didn't feel like that it was dangerous for us. The staff of the Suan Dusit University did their very best to keep us safe during our trip and they also made us feel so welcome and tried to show us the best sides of their country and their culture which they are very proud of.

This trip was so well organized that we didn't have to worry about anything.
