The counseling center in Thai higher education is a little discussed topic and a paucity of research exists in this area. Research in America and England has given attention to the increased demand for the counseling center and the consequent need to enhance and develop the counseling center to meet its current challenges. In Thai higher education the counseling center is nascent. The first purpose of the present paper is to delineate the benefits of the counseling center to Thai higher education institutes. Topics covered include holistic education, noncognitive factors in student success, and retention. Secondly, practical implications of developing the university counseling center are explored, in terms of gaps in the research and directions in future research. This paper is the first on its subject in English, hence it may stimulate a needed conversation as well as help to advance the knowledge base.

This paper discusses the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic situation on the tourism industry, especially on the tourism business in Phuket. This preliminary study explores immediate responses that occurred during the first stage of the outbreak. The concept of customer relationship management (CRM) is applied in this study. It was found that, despite the challenging time, the tourism business, especially hotels, performed some CRM activities allowing them to continue to build and maintain relationships with their customers. The concepts of extension, retention, and socially responsible action are suggested. It is recommended that travel organizations practice CRM, especially during this crisis.

The current research aimed to 1) identify the pronunciation abilities of EFL tertiary students at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna Phitsanulok (RMUTL PLC) according to their self-evaluation, 2) reveal the English pronunciation learning strategies employed among EFL tertiary students with different self-evaluated pronunciation abilities, and 3) investigate whether there is any different employment of the English pronunciation learning strategies among the EFL tertiary students with different English pronunciation abilities. The participants were 270 EFL students enrolling in the second semester of the Academic Year 2019. Of the 270 participants, 40 participants anonymously and voluntarily took part in the semi-structured interviews. The data for analyses were obtained through the questionnaire and the semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed, and the qualitative data were scrutinized using the thematic analysis method. The results showed that, of the three pronunciation ability groups, namely good (GG), moderate (MG), and low (LG) groups, most of the EFL tertiary students at RMUTL PLC evaluated themselves as having a moderate English pronunciation ability. The GG participants employed the cognitive pronunciation learning strategy most often, while the MG and LG used the affective and social pronunciation learning strategies most often. Accordingly, the divergent employment of pronunciation learning strategies exists among these EFL tertiary students with diverse pronunciation abilities. They relied on online applications, such as Google Translate, for pronunciation demonstration because of its convenience and ease to access. When the participants did not use an online application, they sought help from their classmates rather than asking the teachers owing to their proximity and intimacy.
