Siam's Thoughts

Yuqing, a Chinese girl from Malaysia, sets foot on the unfamiliar land of Thailand with her longing for the future. Language barriers, cultural differences, and the pain of homesickness... When she first arrived at Chulalongkorn University, she was like a lost butterfly, stumbling in the wind and rain of a foreign country. From the shock of Buddhist rituals to the romance of the Loy Krathong Festival, the loneliness of the Mid-Autumn Festival to the chance encounters in Chinatown, Yuqing re-recognizes herself amidst cultural shocks. She met the enthusiastic Xiao Pu, the wise professor, and all kinds of international students, and gradually transformed through laughter and tears. When tradition and modernity intersect, and when East and West collide, she finally understands: real growth is not to adapt to a foreign country, but to find one's own place amidst differences. This is a true portrayal of studying in a foreign country, and it is also a symphonic poem of youth and culture. Here you will see: ✅The most real ups and downs of studying abroad life ✅The wonderful blend of Thai Buddhist culture and Chinese tradition ✅A girl's spiritual growth history in a foreign country If you have ever had the experience of being uprooted from your homeland, if you are looking for a sense of cultural belonging, this book is for you.
