For those of us unfamiliar with Thai culture, the markets are an integral part of everyday life in Thai society. People shop at markets all over Thailand to purchase all sorts of goods from fresh meat, fish and vegetables to clothing, footwear and furniture. The markets are a place where many home made/grown goods are sold by individuals/families. Besides the shopping where prices are fair and competitive, the markets are a place where Thai people congregate socially to meet, eat and generally enjoy themselves.Therefore it should come as no surprise to see MSU Education Services Division representatives recently making their presence known at a two day educational exhibition ‘market’ held at Khon Kaen University at the end of January.
More than eighty-five educational institutions exhibited at the market to showcase their respective wares to a large number of prospective students who travelled from all over north east Thailand to attend. Just like any typical market you see in Thailand, people met, stallholders spruiked the benefits of their product (in this case educational institutions) to attract a crowd and the shoppers or prospective students all had a wonderful time meeting with each other while ‘shopping’ for their future educational institutions.
Showing no disrespect to this event; it is wonderful to see so many educational institutions get together at the ‘educational market’ to give prospective students an opportunity to make serious comparisons while simultaneously providing an entertaining and fun atmosphere of the marketplace. ...more pics
