Origins and Developments

Thammasat University was established on June 27, 1934, under the University of Moral and Political Science Act of 1933. The Act was drafted by Pridi Banomyong, one of the leaders of the People's Party (Khana Ratsadon คณะราษฎร) and Interior Minister at the time. With an ambitious vision to create a higher public institution to educate a fledgling democracy on law and political science, Pridi founded the University and served as its first rector. During its infancy, the University was run as an open academic institution, operating independently without funding from the government but, instead, relying partly on tuition fees. The University was also dependent on interest paid by the Bank of Asia, of which the University held 80% of the shares and of which Pridi was a co-founder. The University began by initially offering four major fields of study: law, commerce and accountancy, political science, and economics. These were later expanded to other disciplines such as social work, journalism, and liberal arts, with the last being the oldest of its kind in the country. is the 178th day of the year (179th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Under Pridi's leadership, the University became the clandestine headquarter of the Free Thai anti-Japanese movement during World War II. Ironically, the University campus also functioned as an interment camp for the Allies civilians, with Thai guards more or less protecting them from abuses by the Japanese. After Thailand's brief post WWII foray into democracy was interrupted by the 1949 coup of Field Marshal Plaek Phibulsongkram, the military-led government removed the term "Political Science" from the University's name and banned students from political activities. The university's shares were sold out and its operations became entirely dependent on funding from the government.^[1] The Free Thai Movement (Thai: ขบวนการเสรีไทย, Khabuankarn Seri Thai) was an underground resistance movement against Japan during World War II.

The history of political development in Thailand cannot be understood in isolation from the significant role that Thammasat University and its students have played. For example, on more than one occasion, mass demonstrations in the Tha Phrachan campus and its neighborhood triggered events that eventually led to landmark changes in democracy in Thailand, such as those leading to brutal massacre on October 6, 1976. is the 279th day of the year (280th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Campuses

Currently, the university has six campuses across the country, but the main campus is still at Tha Phrachan, where all the Social Science fields remain.

• Tha Phrachan Center is located near the Chao Phraya River inside the historic Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok. The land was purchased entirely with money raised by private donations. Tha Phrachan is a compact area with a richly storied past. Tha Prachan campus was the center spot of the 1976 Thammasat student uprising in which about 300 students protesting against the return to Thailand of former military dictator Thanom Kittikachorn were massacred by the military, police and rightwing activists.^[2] Tha Phrachan campus also witnessed another mass rally against the unpopular Suchinda Kraprayoon in May 1992 after he had been elected premier by the house of parliament. Today, the Tha Phrachan campus is a potent symbol for Thai human rights, free speech and democratic society.

• Rangsit Center, the largest campus, is located in Pathum Thani, north of Bangkok. It is situated next to the Asian Institute of Technology and Thailand Science Park, an area known as the "Technology Cluster of Northern Bangkok". Realizing the significant impact of science and technology on the country's economic growth, Thammasat University initiated degree programs in engineering, technologies, physical sciences, and medicine at its Rangsit Center in the 1980s and 1990s. Although originally established for science and technology-related faculties, the center is now rapidly expanding to cover a variety of disciplines. All bachelor's degree classes currently taught at Tha-Prachan Center are scheduled to be moved there by 2007. The campus is also home to the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, an international academic institute attached to the university emphasizing engineering and technology-related research and education. All freshmen are supposed to spend their first two years in the Rangsit Campus.
