Izu-Oshima island trip

(3) Profile of my hometown
I was born and grew up in Bangkok which is the capital of Thailand. Thailand is the most popular destination for a tourist around the world because of the cost of living in Thailand is very low and moreover there are many attractive places and variety of foods. Thailand in my opinion that can be separated by a difference environment by 3 zones are north, middle and south. Northern Thailand it is like a city in the mountain, river, nice weather and low temperature than the other places. Middle Thailand is a central of everything such as economic, industrial and mixed cultural. Southern Thailand is surrounded by the sea and there are a lot of beautiful beach is waiting for you come.

Dinner with Thai students

The difference between Tokyo and Bangkok that the first thing pop up in my head is a food. Thai foods is quite hot and too spicy but Japanese foods is very soft such like, some kind of ramen , udon etc. I miss Thai foods sometime while I'm here. And the cost of living in Tokyo is very extremely high compared to Thailand, as everybody know Tokyo is always on top of high living cost ranking of the world for many years. If you come to visit Thailand you can enjoy Thai foods and spend your money to eat just only 200-300 yen per meal but in Tokyo the price of one meal may up to 500-1000 yen.

Between Thailand and Japan, there are many cooperation such as industrial infrastructure, cultural exchange and higher education opportunity. So I am here because of Tokyo Metropolitan Government gave this chance to me and it's the best of my life.

Nikko tour with TMU

Many years ago I had a great time to came to Japan for training in sunmer. I was spent one month in Kyoto I had a lot of good memory such as I learned Japanese culture, I got many Japanese friend, I met other people and travelled a lot around Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe and Tokyo, that time I very happy and so funny while stayed in Japan. The time pass, until I was graduated. I had gotten a job in the satellite commapy in Thailand (Engineer position). This job is inspiring to me and that time I also continuous studied master degree in Telecommunication Engineering field. Two years pass, I had done master degree, I thought I would like to keep studying higher in this field but in Thailand has no enough technologies and knowledge. I searched for scholarship whether Europe or Japan. One day my advisor told me that TMU has opened a scholarship for Doctoral program. Finally I am here.

Actually before here i heard that Japanese people are dedicated himself for work, I mean they are work hard, this sound is great for me but if it is too much it will become a bad health, stressful and etc. So my good life is balancing. On the other hand before coming I had not expected anything too much, I just prepared myself to ready for everything that it's gonna be changed from my previous life and do my best. Nowaday my life is moving forward, smooth routine work, travelling someday, play sport and make life happier.

With my adviser Prof. Hajime Fukuchi

First of all, I would like to explanation about my research theme shortly. My research is related to the satellite communication system and propagation. Now I am making and developing this system for the best efficiency to coverage future technologies. The big problem in the satellite communication system is a rain attenuation, but behavior of rainfall is particularly difference in each places. That is my job to design the system to be suitable to reduce the rain attenuation in the satellite communication system in each places, to support the growing of demand of user and higher quality content in a future coming. In my research doesn't scope in only Japan or Asia but this technique can be solve to a main satellite communication problem, in order to solve the global issues I have to consider very exhaustively, but fortunately TMU and my advisor(Prof. Hajime Fukuchi) has a variety cooperation to get the data all over the Japan to make this model. Actually, the data in Japan is very coverage and useful, but on the other way there are many countries in Asia that the data is narrow in only education filed or specific in company, and the data also is not being to use in order to improve a country. In the future, ten countries are going to group to be ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) including my country, that time I hope, we will have more cooperation each other to share the data or everything useful in widely to moving forward together.

5.The message you would like to send through “Interaction Asia”

To who interested to study in a higher eduation, Tokyo is a one of the best ways for this. Because of Tokyo there is a good atmosphere for learning and including high technologies such as transportation and network communication to make you feel comfortable,and also there is a high safety in your life in the world ranking, unique culture and people's discipline. All of these thing push forward Tokyo to be a leader city of the world and everything also has always been improved. But for the foreigner must be face a some problem in Japanese language. A few Japanese people could speak English but every people willing to help. So nowaday, almost attractive places or train station or local restaurant that there is English translation to make your life easier.

With my tutor

Finally I would say "It doesn't matter where you get the knowledge from, it matters if you could use it correctly to improve yourself, to help other people and to make your country better". Let's enjoy your life as much as you can

Thank you TMU, my advisor (Prof. Hajime Fukuchi) and Japan to give this opportunity to me.
