Am I the only one surprised to know that that tall and imposing structure in the photo above is actually a dormitory? The participants to the 28th Worlds Universities Debate Championship (hosted by Assumption University - Bangkok, Thailand) will be staying in nice dormitory-type rooms that is reminiscent of what a three-star hotel would look like. As you can see, there are also basketball courts in the middle! cool! I’d definitely want to shoot some hoops before and after the round. Good thing my teammate also plays.
The rooms are actually student dormitories for the students of the university. I don’t think any school in the country has dormitories comparable to what Assumption offers to its students.
Each room comes with:
- Two 3.5′ x 6.5′ size beds including a mattress and a pillow. Students should bring their own bed sheets, pillow cases, and blankets; or they can be purchased at the book store.
- Two closet and shoe cabinets
- Two desks and chairs
- A direct-line telephone
- A water heater
- A pair of on-line connections for computer internet access
- An air-conditioner
- A 2.1 cubic foot refrigerator
- A 21″ color television with UBC (21 channels)
- A smoke detector
That’s a lot, right? And do you know how much it costs to stay there? 3500 baht per month (~4,861.40)! I dunno about you, but considering that you’re not paying for electricity, phone bills and a broadband connection, five thousand pesos is more than reasonable. I doubt if you could find a deal better than that here.
So there, I’m really stoked and excited about this.Our flight leaves on December 26 at 10PM.
Sorry for the downtime and thank you to Ederic for helping me fix my blog.
