who cares to care? Thai universities and cmpuses are quite good compared with other universities in ASEAN counries> This is so since their schools are newly consructed or built adodpting the modern architectural design. But when it comes to quality of education, these universities are in the tail end of the list.

This is only environment but it does not reflect the quality of education the students learn in those schools. Other schools around ASEAN countries are at par withe those schools found in USA or UK when it comes to quality despite being in the third countries. Skills competition and other contest can prove this. a lot of small schools can even outdo these big universities... mentioned... believed me.
