On 25 July 2019, Ms. Sirirat Fungkhajon, Director of Spa at Al Areen Palace & Spa, Bahrain and alumna of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Pattani Campus, visited Prince of Songkla University to make a courtesy call on the PSU administrative team and discuss possible collaboration in areas of mutual interest. The visitor was warmly welcomed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chutamas Satasook, PSU Vice President for Academic Affairs, accompanied by administrators from the Faculty of Thai Traditional Medicine, and a representative from the Faculty of Commerce and Management, Trang Campus
The idea for collaboration started when PSU President Asst. Prof. Dr. Niwat Keawpradub and administrators met the director during their official trip to Bahrain. The more recent discussions at PSU yielded tangible results, with plans from the Faculty of Thai Traditional Medicine to send one of their students for co-operative education at Al Areen Palace & Spa, Bahrain, a five-star hotel with full facilities.
