The Thai Talk was one of the highlights of the Asian Fest 2020. The Talk had received overwhelming responses from students. The Zoom room has never been busier. Students wre impressed by the interesting sharing of Henry as he describes the land, the people, the culture, the tradition and the rituals from his point of view as a tourist and a student. As a freelance translator, Henry embraces diversity and thrives in multicultural environment. Henry shared his interesting experience of touring, studying and living in Thailand. Henry was fascinated by the Thai culture when he toured across Thailand on his own from the north to the south years ago. After he came back to Hong Kong, he wanted to explore more about the Thai language, music, TV shows and movies. The more he learnt about the culture, the more he wanted to experience. This obsession eventually led to his decision of studying in Thailand to feel the pulse the local Thai living, and learn more the vibrant culture, charming tradition, colourful history of Thailand.
Henry是一個自由兼職的翻譯從業員,自小喜歡接觸不同類型的文化,並認為語言是一個文化的具象體現,所以大學時期選擇了修讀翻譯系。一次偶然的機會,Henry隻身前往泰國旅遊半個月,由北部一路玩到南部,見識了不同的風土人情,自此對泰國甚抱好感,想了解更多泰國文化。於是回港後開始接觸泰文、音樂和影視作品,並在兩年前毅然決定到曼谷生活和進修,體驗寫意的旅居生活。想要知道更多有關留泰經歷,那就不要錯過Henry的分享會喔!
