John Ibis Thankyou for your reply😊 I understand how u feel. I've heard this many times. Told this in the interviewing section to apply for uni with pictures, it's probably the main reason they accepted me in lol.

John Ibis turning 17 next week🙆🏻‍♀️

John Ibis Sorry, I didn't make it clear, I was learning at the international school but when I reached the required age (16) I decided to quit school and took GED (it's quite common among international students here in Thailand right now). If u don't know what it is, it's basically a test to certify people that they have passed 4 main lessons taught in school and we would get a high school diploma for it. So... I had approximately a year to do things I wanted to try out stuff (like a gap year to discover myself and applying for university and play around lol). For the question, I casually asked the hotel if I could help them with tourists with my languages without the need to pay me and they agreed (it is legal if the child is 15 or above but they had to sign papers and there are requirements we have to follow. I inserted a pic from google but unfortunately it's all in Thai😥) but lastly they still give me some money and other treats to thank. Oh and for the nurse aid internship, I took a course on this (they only needed a high school diploma to enter) and they made everyone intern at a hospital of choice:) I am now studying in a science international course at Chulalongkorn university, 1st term, and there are also many other GED students who are my age in the course (most of them are international kids). Oh lastly, I get to go to many countries because my dad works at many places around the world. I'd say it's a normal thing in the international kids society too coz many friends of mine have been to more places than I did`:0 Thank you for your kind respond though 😊 I appreciate it.

John Ibis Even if I might look like I've lived elite my whole life, I still visit my grandparents' in the country side every weekend and live as normal as other people. I ride bike taxis, I fish in the canal with my cousins, who studies at Thai public school where even the English teachers could speak less English compared to me, I live with nature and I've worked at small hotels to gain experiences on holidays and also worked as an internship as a nurse aid at a middle classed hospital, in quarantine I also taught English online to 12 students every business days for 6 months. I'm trying to say that we really couldn't judge anyone we don't know or generalizing stuff we don't know the whole story about. If you're pointing out on the racism part, I'm a muslim who's been looked down to as well by other people, that doesn't make me think that the whole country is not livable or the people there are mean. I accept who I am before entering the society, I notice that the people who discriminate me are only a very small part of the whole lot happy memories I had. And I think every country has its own bright side and dark side to it. FYI my parents worked so hard to make me live better than how they were at my age. I hope this message helps.

I'm a 16 years old Thai girl that has been to 17 countries around the world and have always been interested in other cultures, I never expected any country I'm travelling to to be perfect. Every country has its own goods and bads, so as Thailand. In the school I'm studying in (an international school in bkk), everyone respects other's cultures, black friends and teachers are loved and treated as equally as other colored skin. I do understand what you meant by racism in Thailand, you've probably met many stupid people here but that doesn't mean all Thai people are as bad as those few groups of people you went through. I don't think generalising a country by only the people you've met is a good thing. Sorry if you left Thailand feeling bad, it's life, I hope you'd move on soon and become happier as a human being. Have a good day.
