Why are Khon Kaen University or Chiang Mai University not considered reputable?

Chulalongkorn University and the other private and public universities in your top 5 list are the top tier universities in Thailand. As with most countries, whether Australia, Ireland, Japan, United States, or hundreds of others, each country has a variety of local and national and state universities or trade schools that offer pathways for a meaningful education and career. In Japan, for example, there are top tier universities (Keio or Ritsumeikan), but there are many other reputable universities (Kansai Gai Dai). I’m not sure where University of New South Wales ranks in Australia, but I liked its location near Coogee Beach.

Overall, in my experience, affluent / rich Thai families can pay for their children to attend universities in other countries ….

I personally seem to connect more with hard-working Thai people who work to attend and graduate from Khon Kaen University and start a career without the “high so” advantage … I’m just a working class Irish bloke getting thru life

from Pattaya to Sukhumvit Airport, then a flight to Chiang Mai airport …

Money Gram … send money to yourself

That’s a good lesson for me to always write a 5-star review for a school, even if it’s a fake review !!

@Bruce ********

why don’t you update your own post to say the Thai girlfriend was born in San Francisco and moved back to Thailand, where she met your “buddy,” who’s a Low So in the USA…. she learned about his low financial status after she returned with him to USA — now she might leave your “buddy” for a more prosperous $$$ guy and relationship. Nothing learned or gained from this post. Come on

. You could do stand up comedy about this topic … How did your “buddy” get a Tourist Visa for his Thai girlfriend to visit the United States? Unless I missed a part of your story, and she visited on a Fiancé visa? Perhaps I missed she is of the educated higher class… share some clarity about this buddy’s girlfriend…. Because you imply without much sarcasm your buddy’s $3,000 monthly “remote” income is going to how Thai girl friend… Hmm

Does Thailand have stand-up comedy clubs?

Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are also nice destinations

$26,000 USA dollars need to be in a bank account in Thailand, for the retirement visa? I need to learn more about this …

Thanks for sharing .. Do any of those 3 questions, and answers received, hold any weight to change the outcome?

Are you legally expected or obligated to pay your ex Thai wife marriage support, and financial support if you have children?
