Pornpimol's final semester of a degree in social work in Bangkok
Pornpimol is two terms away from finishing a degree in social work but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,200.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand2,454 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Bangkok Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,200.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the the Bangkok Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Final term tuition: $390
• Outstanding tuition balance: $730
• Exam and lab fees: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pornpimol.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Pornpimol?
