The research results revealed that current state of higher education institutions management in Thailand based on the concept of internationalization was generally performed at moderate level (x̄ = 2.686) in which Curriculum management yielded the highest mean (x̄ = 2.707) followed by Academic service management (x̄ = 2.658). In addition, overall desirable state was found at high level (x̄ = 3.933); Curriculum management showed the highest mean (x̄ = 3.945) followed by Academic service management (x̄ = 3.907).
