Prince of Songkla University Ranked Among World’s Best for Hospitality and Tourism

According to a report by Khaosod Online, Prince of Songkla University (PSU) has achieved a significant academic milestone, securing a position in the 76–100 range globally in the 'Hospitality and Tourism' category for 2026. This ranking was published by the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS), also known as the Shanghai Ranking.

PSU stands out as the only university in Thailand to be included in this specific category for the 2026 cycle. Furthermore, the institution holds the third-highest ranking within the ASEAN region.

For residents and travelers, this recognition highlights the growing academic prestige of Thailand’s tourism education sector. As the country continues to position itself as a global hub for hospitality, the presence of a world-ranked institution in the south of Thailand suggests a high standard of professional training and research in the field.

While this ranking reflects the university's current academic standing, it remains to be seen how this recognition will influence future curriculum developments or international partnerships within the Thai tourism industry. The university continues to be evaluated across various other academic disciplines by the Shanghai Ranking organization.
