I feel more time could have been spent at the Rama9 museum as there was many interesting zones and we were not able to fully immerse ourselves at the museum.

Some topics discussed during the trip were not as interesting as it was unrelated to our courses. This made it hard to follow and understand some of the things being talked about. Being able to have more hands on experiences would have helped us to be able to immerse ourself more into the subject being taught.

One activity that could be improved was the AI activity from yesterday. The lecturers were going through the code too fast and ended up having to help all 8 groups individually. The difficulty of the code was not that high but the presentation of it made it somewhat hard.

I felt like it was a waste of time driving 1 hour to the Rama museum and another 1 back only to end up in the museum for 20 minutes. Time management could be improved.

I enjoyed the free and easy day that gave us a chance to plan our schedule. It very funny to experience many places  in Thailand such as floating market and jj market.

i feel that the lecture could’ve been shorter and longer practical as i think with practical we will be able to understand more of the concept taught

Seeing Pp Krit

I had a very memorable experience seeing Mr Pp Krit at siam central. It was a big cultural difference between the treatment of their local celebrities compared to Singapore. In Thailand many local fans were trying to get pictures and videos of their local celebrities. There were many people also supporting him and cheering for him. Thai celebrities are also used with Thai and foreign products to promote it to the local fanbase. Compared to Singapore, local celebrities aren’t used within Singapore to market brands.

My favourite moment in this trip was when I saw Mr Joong Dunk in front of Siam Central in a live exhibition for Lorache Posay. His fans were going crazy by shouting and taking various photos of him. It was a very interactive and cultural experience to see how Thai people show love for their local artistes. In comparison, Singaporean artistes are not as appreciated due to their acting being perceived as “not up to standards” by many Singaporeans.

I believe it would be good if we were asked what topics would pique our interest, as I believe some of the topics were unrelated to our interests or field of study. As most of us lack knowledge of biology and coding, it was extremely difficult to understand, thus, I believe the lesson could have been simplified by not covering so much, as it is difficult to understand a 4-5 hour lecture if we are unfamiliar with the topic.

# data[].attributes.body
some of the industry visits were boring as it's not my field of study (e.g. modgut / the professor who talked about the plant purification seats??) but some industry visits (e.g. qualy) were interesting despite it being out of my field of the study because household products is something everyone can understand and appreciate

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the workshops for the most part, to the point where I took notes 🤓. I think that perhaps the hardware to carry out the activities, specifically the food sensor workshop were not up to par. I think if not for that mishap, more of us would have been able to really play around with the coding of the food sensor to categorize the different tom yum soups based on the detected ingredients.

I also felt that maybe the coding was a tad bit too complicated for most of us, even after taking python last semester, I felt that it was still rather confusing, so I can only imagine how those without any coding experience would feel through the activity.

I felt that the speaker's explanation on the history of the ingredients we see in Thailand could also have been more succinct, but overall I am happy on the level of knowledge he has passed down to us via his lecture.

The farewell dinner! Amazing performance cus this girl pretty

felt that the spent at the museum could be longer after the long drive there.
the food tasting portion was also not what I expected as it was not very beginner friendly

It would be better if we can experience some facilities that they illustrate in the presentation.

Industry visits can be made shorter and have more visits to local factories instead or Road trip to view various landmarks

Enjoyed visiting the aromatic farm and  tasting their fresh coconuts

- Visiting more lesser known spots in Bangkok, instead of places well known to tourists. This way, we would be able to experience bangkok from a local pov.
- The industry visits had very interesting concepts, but the way it was being executed ( talks and sharings ) made it very boring and dry :/ it would be good if we had some hands on experience ( like trying out the heat gun at the aromatic farm)

Rama 9 Museum! Enjoyed the learning of how they planned the area but would like to have more time to explore the museum and understand more about the background work done for particular exhibits.

activities/workshops could be catered to our interests. for e.g. providing options for us to choose which we would prefer to do, like e.g. food sensor or superstition.

# data[].attributes.body
Better simplify the lessons as I feel some aspects of coding and biology could have been explained better as a portion of us may be inexperienced in that aspect.

I felt like the past 3 days of Industrial visits/experiences were a complete waste of time. Many of us felt that we were being brought to industries that we weren't interested it and just simply wanted to go out and explore more landmarks in Bangkok. We also spent travelling for almost hours during the museum day just for it to be closed early and throughout that day just felt like a drag and didn't really enrich me into Thailand and it's culture. The design store as well, the products were cool, but having the students sit down and watch a 40-minute video about the company just felt like an unskippable ad and drained many of us first thing in the morning. This doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy the trip because there were many things about it to love, they are just my opinion of the moments that felt irrelevant and unneccessary. Thank you teachers though we really appreciate the hard work yall put in to organise this trip for us! :)

1. cute corgi cafe

i felt that the time spent in the museum could be longer. cos we couldn’t manage to finish exploring the museum and it was already their closing time which i thought that it was a pity🥲

i loved exploring the night markets because the food was v aroi mak mak 🥸👍🏻

Understand that this programme was initially planned for design/ environmental (?) students but now it’s mixed with different courses and school. While I understand that maybe some plans are already fixed and too late to back out (from the organiser’s angle), programmes such as food sensor that are not of interest to many should be cut shorter or maybe include an opt out option to do something else.

# data[].attributes.body
What I would like more to be included would be trips to the rural parts of the country such as villages and more farms, and industrial visits and talks could be shorter since some of the talks were quite dry

# data[].attributes.body
The topic was definitely interesting and the hands on experience was fun. However, the coding can be abit hard to catch on and hence hard to focus on.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel that most of the places we visited (temples & museum) were cut short due to it closing early, so we could not explore it more.
I feel that we were doing so many different things that we were not sure what the main point/learning is.

# data[].attributes.body
the workshop could be more engaging cause i think for most it wasn't really aligned to our interests or line of study

# data[].attributes.body
It was a nice experience being able to try the fresh coconuts upon arrival, and learning how she start her coconut farm business and became successful in just 5 plus years.

More time could have been allocated for us to roam around the museum since it is so huge. We were not informed that it closes at 3pm too and hence did not plan our time properly on that short span of time. - Alyssa

the trip to rama9 museum could have been longer to give us sufficient time to roam around the whole museum.

Activities could be catered to different interests as most of the activities done were mostly centred around design/engineering.

Trips to the temple could be more engaging by hosting a quiz/game where we would have to look for answers.

more time at rama9 museum, more interactive learning for industry visits especially ModGut

More time at the Rama 9 museum!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the workshops and industry visits were quite hard to understand cause maybe we don’t study that like coding/biology, hence we cant relate to as well. Maybe in the future, the study/visits could be more generalised if it consists of students from different courses :>

I enjoyed the trip to Rama-9 Museum and trying out new food at the night markets.

My favourite moment in Bangkok was urban shadowing, karting and scooter riding in the same day. Crazy le.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that certain activities were dragged on for a long stretch of time like the food sensor workshop. There were gaps of time where we had not much to do, most of us felt restless and got tired of sitting around and waiting.

My favorite moments are during weekends to dreamworld and chatuchak market and going to the platinum mall to shop with my friends :))!!

one memorable activity that i did during this trip was shopping on our free day. i got to go to the places that i rlly wanted to visit at siam :D

would be nice to ask the students the industries they want to venture and look into because the industry visits seems to not be very well-received by all because it wasn't of interest to many.

- food sensor activity could have been cut shorter.
- temple visits could have been more organised by providing more context as to why we’re visiting it
- the school visit should have been more related to the course we’re doing OR something broad enough for everyone to relate to

I love the life shadowing because its very inspiring and also the rama 9 museum

My favorite part of this trip would be the interactions with Thai locals, which is something we wouldn't normally get to experience if it weren't for this trip. So many new insights and life stories of a Bangkokian were revealed to me.

Lunch with Mr Siripong was very educational and eye opening, he shared a lot about his life experiences and his personal path towards success. It let me learn alot about innovation and business, and hearing about his life stories inspired me and my group mates.

Trying out mookata at Ratchaburi!

# data[].attributes.body
One of my favourite moments on the trip was the time we spent in ratchaburi dyeing hats with leaves, making traditional desert and croqueting. I felt I learnt alot from that 3 hours about some of the traditions in Thailand such as why there is so much coconut present in their food or why the food in ratchaburi is sweeter than other food in Thailand.

I appreciated the kind and patient instructors for putting the effort into teaching us how to crochet or how to make the deserts. I can say that I came out with a better understanding and appreciation of Thai culture through this activity.

I also quite enjoyed the excursion to True Digital Park. It really opened my eyes to how much effort Thailand has put in to foster collaboration between other countries such as Singapore and Japan, as well as how much they value initiative and ingenuity. I was blown away by the facilities they offered there such as constructible office spaces, nap rooms and even a running track. I hope to be able to return one day as an entrepreneur or even a venture capitalist haha...

The takeaway for me from True Digital Park is that there is more to everything beyond what we can see. Take for example, the open space offices avaliable to the public. It might seem like a waste to incorporate such spaces, but it actually heavily supports upcoming startups or firms who might not have an office to work in by providing them with the space to not only be productive, but also give them natural opportunities to network to the various people around True Digital Park.

This are my 2 favourite moments, here's a picture of a cat for your troubles.

My favourite moments in Thailand would be visiting the Aromatic Coconut Farm and the Dream World theme park during our free and easy day. The farm was especially memorable as I got to enjoy really fresh coconuts and I was really amazed learning how the founder adjusted herself so well against the setbacks she faced
