Innovation and technological advancements (e.g., Industry Revolution 5.0, Society 5.0, and Education 5.0) are currently progressing at an extreme rate and scale. These lead to a huge transformation in the educational system worldwide. The educational system of Thailand has been impacted by these advancements as well. However, research investigating the impacts of these advancements on Thailand’s educational system is still scarce. Because of this rationale, this research study was conducted and utilized a qualitative documentary research method to examine the notions of the Industry Revolution 5.0, Society 5.0, and Education 5.0 and their impacts on Thailand’s educational system. The data used in this research were collected from several sources and analyzed using a content analysis. The research findings indicated that it is important for educational institutions in Thailand to grasp the opportunities of these advancements by educating and training current and new generations of educators and students to be competent and cultivating them to be true global citizens. The finding of this research will help educational institutions and stakeholders in formulating policies and plans regarding the development of educational system at the institutional and national levels.
