Provide healthy and affordable food choices for all on campus.

Prince of Songkla University offers a wide variety of food options to meet the needs of staff, students, and the general public. There are various choices available, such as vegetarian food, halal food, as well as fruits and vegetables, allowing everyone to select food that suits their preferences and beliefs.

        This table shows the number of various types of food shops available at different locations within the university, categorized by type of food served (Thai Buddhist, Muslim, Vegetarian, Vegan) and general shops that offer drinks, fruits, and snacks.

        The meals price range between 35–50 THB, and beverages price from 25–40 THB which are affordable for all students. 

        The Agriculture Market (Talad Kaset PSU) operates five days a week, offering fresh, pesticide-free produce, seafood, and student-made processed foods. The market emphasizes environmental sustainability by encouraging the use of reusable cloth bags and banana leaves instead of plastic packaging. 

        In addition, PSU supports fair and inclusive access to campus food outlets, offering discounts at Café Amazon (Songklanagarind Hospital Food Center) for staff and medical personnel, as well as student-friendly promotions at Starbucks (Faculty of Science). 

        In addition, the Faculty of Medicine has implemented the “Healthy Canteen for MEDPSU” project, which aims to provide faculty staff with access to healthy meals that are lower in sugar, fat, and salt, thereby helping to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The project also serves as a platform for disseminating organizational health promotion knowledge, in alignment with both the Ministry of Public Health’s strategy on health promotion and disease prevention excellence and the Faculty’s own strategic plan. 

        It focuses on improving health literacy in nutrition, encouraging staff to consume a balanced, adequate, and diverse diet, reducing intake of sugar, fat, and salt, and increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables. This initiative aims to foster sustainable healthy eating behaviors among staff, serving as a foundation for expanding health promotion practices to other departments and organizations in the future.
