re: "Can Thai unis attract foreign pupils?" (BP, Opinion, July 10)
I think you have to have a solid academic reputation that is well-founded before the international students will start beating a path to your doors. What Thai university is internationally acclaimed for academic excellence? Which Thai university regularly has work by its academics published in leading international journals? Which Thai university is not infected with Thainess caught from the Ministry of Education and other official Thai bodies? But it's a sweet dream. The Thai students are excellent: intelligent, eager to learn, compassionate, creative, and hard working when allowed; alas, so much is forbidden by the ruling Thainess.
