There are a lot of different cultural experiences in Vietnam, but thanks to the supports from the lecturers, professors, the faculty, and the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) at TDTU. It is my honor to study and work with them in Vietnam. I appreciate their supports."

Due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said "It is extremely difficult for me to research during the widening of COVID-19 period, however, I have taken the advantages of technology in interviewing and collecting information. Moreover, I mainly used two kinds of implements such as mobile phones and Google meetings for this research.” said Naddanai.
