On June 30, 2026, Walailak University’s Division of Corporate Communications led a delegation of executives and faculty to Triam Udom Suksa School of the South, offering academic and career guidance to more than 800 Mathayom 5–6 (Grade 11–12) students through the “Walailak to School 2026” event.
Professor Dr. Sombat Thamrongthanyawong, President of Walailak University, delivered a special lecture titled “Studying at Walailak University: A World-Class University,” highlighting the university’s placement in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2026 — 1,201+ globally and 6th in Thailand among more than 26,000 universities worldwide.
“Walailak University will keep developing steadily so that we remain among the country’s leading higher-education institutions, giving our students greater access to internationally recognized, quality education,” Professor Dr. Sombat said.
The visit also included an English-teaching exchange with school faculty led by Associate Professor Dr. Surin Maisrikrod, Vice President, and an open forum on academic programs and career paths led by Assistant Professor Dr. Neeranat Kaewprasert Rakangthong, Director of the Center for Educational Services, together with representatives from every academic program at the university.
The event capped a milestone year for Walailak University: a record 4,132 new students enrolled for 2026, with an average cumulative GPA (GPAX) of 3.46 — both the highest in the university’s history.
