Mr.
Somkiethisack Kingsada, Lao
Since
I got this fellowship to study in this higher degree on Southeast
Asia at the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand,
it has provided me with a great opportunity to interact with international
friends from different parts of the world, especially from our neighboring
countries of Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand, which are
the majority of my classmates.
The
course’s subjects also really challenged me to learn more
deeply about Southeast Asia in many different aspects, which I have
never learnt before in my country, namely, socio-economic, historical,
cultural, political, and civilization. Besides, the subjects are
very interesting and relevant to the current situation. Chulalongkorn
has a reputation for its excellent academic standard and qualified
lecturers with high education and professional academics, which
are well known in Thailand.
This
international program is designed for international students who
want to explore a rich context of the Southeast Asia region. During
my first semester since October 2005, it has expanded my general
knowledge of these countries and opened my eyes to the outside world.
I am very impressed by all facilitators, course coordinators and
lecturers who put in hard effort into applying their knowledge to
these developing countries.
As
I am a fellowship student of this special program, “The Weaving
Mekong into Southeast Asia”, I would say the program is very
effective and valuable to Laotians and allow for the promotion of
a better understanding among the nations of Southeast Asia and the
rest of the world.
