Mahidol is still the highest-ranked Thai university, but it is not in the top 500 universities internationally, according to this year's Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Mahidol University has maintained its lead among higher tertiary institutions in Thailand, according to a respected survey, but it still lags behind universities in Singapore and Malaysia. Mahidol University's position remained unchanged as it was still in the group of universities ranked between 501-600 in this year's Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Chulalongkorn University, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi and Surananee University of Technology were also in the same positions in the grouping between 601-800. Phil Baty, editorial director for global rankings at Times Higher Education, said in a statement, "The rise of China in this year's table is remarkable and demonstrates the way the global higher education landscape is changing."
