Dusit Thani College Signs MoU with Nine Leading Hotels and Enterprises to Cultivate Global Professional Skills for Students

24 April 2026

On April 21, 2026, Dusit Thani College, a premier institution under Dusit Thani Hotel Group, led by Dr. Attawet Pruegstaporn, Rector, together with Dr. Praveena Kasai, Vice Rector for Student Affairs, Dr. Phitchayaporn Sriboonruang, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nonthalee Prontadavit, Dean of Culinary Arts, and Ajarn Panicha Panpat, Associate Dean of Hospitality Management, welcomed executives from nine leading hotels and enterprises in Thailand for the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

On this occasion, the Rector of Dusit Thani College remarked:

“Thirty-three years ago, Thanpuying Chanat Piyaoui, founder of Dusit Thani Hotel, established Dusit Thani College in response to the rapid growth of Thailand’s tourism industry and the shortage of qualified professionals. She envisioned that if Thailand was to become the tourism hub of Asia and the world, the country needed its own institution dedicated to hospitality and tourism education. Dusit Thani College was thus founded not only to supply talent to Dusit Thani Hotel but also to serve the broader tourism industry in Thailand and ASEAN. We are committed to cultivating students through hands-on practice, transforming classrooms into real-world workplaces, and building partnerships with hotels and enterprises nationwide. We believe that every educational partner plays a vital role in supporting students to become the future of the industry.”

The nine partner organizations include: Amari Bangsaen}, Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket (signed online), Andaz One Bangkok, Bhiraj Buri Group, Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit, Jim Thompson, Hilton Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Golf Resort & Spa, Hilton Pattaya, and Renaissance Pattaya Resort & Spa

The primary objective of this MoU is to expand internship opportunities for Dusit Thani College students in both Hotel Management and Culinary Arts programs. These opportunities will equip students with professional expertise and ensure they are job-ready upon graduation. Beyond internships, the MoU also paves the way for broader collaborations between the college and its nine partner organizations.
