Would you recommend it?
Yes, I’d recommend it. The biggest positives were the mood with almost all exchange students there, great location, and good facilities (gym/pool) which made daily life easy during the exchange. The only downsides were Bangkok traffic and warm humidity.

What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Khao San Road, Soi Cowboy (ping pong shows, striptease), Pastel (for Thursday evenings), Apartment 101, Levels,... Try to find promoters to have free entry and alcohol in clubs.
🎓 Uni life at chulalongkorn university
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
You can change your courses until one month after the beginning of the semester. However, I recommend get your place in the classes before because some are full fast. Some teachers make the attendance but it's rare.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is amazing, huge, like American campuses. Registration could be little bit tricky so make it before arriving, especially for Student Visa. Chulalongkorn University is the best of the country but most of classes are still very easy.
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
You can take any plane you want from Bangkok for cheap, so I recommend travel : In Thailand : Khao Sok, Kho Phi Phi,... Abroad : Vietnam, Indonesia (Bali), China, Laos, Cambodge, Philippines.
🌆 Bangkok vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Bangkok?
7-Eleven is your emergency supply chain. Safety is amazing. You can have trips with accommodations for less than 10€ a night, 20€ the night bus. However, even if everything is really cheap, at the end is can cost a lot if you don't track your expenses.
