Although Culture Shock isn't permanent and might be normal for some, for many others, it significantly affects their feelings and daily life to varying degrees. Therefore, to help you cope smoothly with Culture Shock in the UK, Peyton & Charmed will present some new things you'll encounter when you move to study there.
☁️ Weather Thai people like us might be more accustomed to the warm weather in Thailand, and when faced with the damp and gloomy gray weather during winter, many might feel more down than usual. It could take a while to adjust to this kind of weather.
🥘 Food Those trying UK food for the first time might find the taste strange, whether it's too bland or too strong compared to what you're used to. This might lead you to eat more frozen food or fast food than usual. If possible, don't forget to eat fresh fruits and vegetables regularly.
🙎🏻 General Society For Thai people like us who are naturally smiley and friendly, society there might feel quite cold and distant. However, this is normal if you live in the city center of large cities, as people there typically live that way. But it doesn't mean you can't ask for help from people there.
⌚ UK Habits People in the UK are known for their punctuality and place great importance on time. So, if you're living and studying there, you should prioritize attending classes on time or meeting teachers at the scheduled time.
These are the main Culture Shock aspects that we wanted to present. For other things, we also want you to prepare yourself that you're in a different city and country, so everything will naturally be different from what you're used to, and you can't know everything. Therefore, if you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it.
