Only one Thai university has made it into a list of the top 400 leading institutions of higher learning in the world.

King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) is placed in the 350-400 band in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2012-2013.

Mahidol University was ranked in the same band with KMUTT in the 2011-2012 influential education rankings report, but failed to retain its spot this year.

Certainly nothing to be proud of.
Over the years many posts on this website have been critical of successive Thai Government's inaction in addressing the education standards in this country. I am afraid that tablets for year 1 students is pure folly.
Being Thai precludes us for asking for help as we know best. Unfortunately it is the students who suffer from sub-standard education. How will we compete with other Asean countries when Asean comes into effect?
Simple answer is that we won't!! Our young people will be disadvantaged from getting well paid jobs & Thailand will remain a country of rice farmers.
Very sad!

Better Engliah language capabilities would help, without a doubt.
