On AIP: “AIP has made living in Bangkok so simple and easy.” He shared a fully furnished apartment with two other interns, a 10-minute walk from the BTS Skytrain or a two-minute shuttle ride.

Life in the city
The apartment has a fully furnished kitchen, “but to be honest I don't really use it, because the food out here is so cheap and delicious.” Almost every night on his way home from work, Anthony stops at the same place for one of his favorite Thai dishes, papaya salad, for less than three dollars.
He burns it off at the gym, and in the evenings there are networking events where he can work on his communication.

Hey guys, my name is Anthony. I go to the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, and I'm a network security engineer here. This isn't gonna work. Rather than show you how I work, let me show you how to live in Bangkok, since the weather is always so great in Bangkok.
[unclear] my fun after work and on the weekend, chilling right here [unclear].
AIP has made living in Bangkok so simple and easy. They've gotten you this wonderful, fully furnished apartment that I share with two other interns. I'm a 10-minute walk from the BTS Skytrain, or a two-minute shuttle.
I've got a fully furnished kitchen, but to be honest I don't really use it, because the food out here is so cheap and delicious. Let me show you where I eat. I stop by here almost every night on my way home from work to get one of my favorite Thai dishes, papaya salad, and it's only less than three dollars.
I never have to worry about all the delicious food I eat, so I can burn it off right here at the gym, thanks to AIP. In the evening [unclear] awesome networking events, where I can improve my communication and build my social [unclear].
