The Light of the University: Chulalongkorn University and a Book Tour in Bangkok

#Bangkok Itinerary
Day 1
When I arrived in Bangkok early in the morning, I came to Chulalongkorn University, the oldest institution of higher learning in Thailand. The campus is covered with greenery, and the architecture combines traditional Thai and modern styles, creating a quiet and solemn atmosphere. Walking around the campus, you can seem to feel the cultural heritage and academic atmosphere of a century-old institution. I made a special visit to the university museum to gain a deeper understanding of the founding history of this institution and the development of education in Thailand. At noon, I took a break in a simple cafe on campus, tasted a cup of fragrant Thai coffee, and shared the tranquility of the academic atmosphere with the students around me. In the afternoon, I went to the university library, which had an amazing collection of books. I chose a book introducing Thai culture, sat in the reading area by the window, and quietly enjoyed the tranquility of this academic palace.

The second day's itinerary focused on exploring the area around the campus. I first visited Chulalongkorn University’s Creative Arts Center to view an exhibition of contemporary student and alumni art that was rich in content and full of creativity. Afterwards, I walked to the nearby Bangkok Siam Square, a favorite shopping and gathering place for students. At lunch time, I chose to taste traditional Thai cuisine at a popular local restaurant. In the afternoon, I returned to the university's sports field to experience the energetic sports scene among the students. In the evening, I took a walk by the lake on campus. The setting sun shone on the water, quiet and beautiful, which brought the two-day trip to a perfect end. During this trip, Chulalongkorn University showed me the scholarly and vibrant side of Bangkok. Its history and modernity intertwined, adding a rich cultural experience to my journey.
