   🎓 Thammasat University Rangsit – The Heart of Modern Learning
   Few universities in Southeast Asia blend history, innovation and community spirit as beautifully as Thammasat University’s Rangsit Campus. Located about 42 km north of Bangkok in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani en.wikipedia.org, this 972‑acre campus was established in the late 1970s to relieve overcrowding at Thammasat’s historic Tha Pra Chan campus tu.ac.th. It began as home to the science and technology faculties and now houses almost all undergraduate programmes en.wikipedia.org. A free shuttle connects Rangsit with the downtown campus, making it a lively hub for over 39,000 students.
   🔬 A Centre for Innovation and Sustainability
   Rangsit is more than a teaching facility – it’s a research and innovation hub. The campus hosts the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology and is surrounded by the Thailand Science Park and the Asian Institute of Technology en.wikipedia.org, attracting scholars from Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and beyond. International programmes in engineering, health sciences and journalism draw students from across the region en.wikipedia.org. Sports lovers know Rangsit for its massive Thammasat University Sport Centre, which was used during the 1998 Asian Games, the 1999 FESPIC Games and the 2007 Summer Universiade en.wikipedia.org. In 2019 the campus opened Asia’s largest urban rooftop garden, a 7,000 m² space designed by architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom to mitigate floods and provide plots for growing rice, vegetables and herbs en.wikipedia.org. This commitment to sustainability reflects Thammasat’s role in shaping a greener future.
   🤝 Community Spirit and History
   Thammasat’s history is rooted in a fight for democracy and social justice. Founded in 1934 by Professor Pridi Banomyong as the University of Moral and Political Sciences, it initially offered open enrolment to anyone with a high‑school diploma tu.ac.th. In 1975 the university acquired 972 acres of land to develop the Rangsit campus tu.ac.th. During the devastating floods of 2011, Rangsit served as a temporary shelter for displaced residents; more than 8,000 volunteers provided food, medicine and survival bags, embodying the university’s motto “I love Thammasat because Thammasat teaches me to love the people” tu.ac.th. This ethos of service resonates with values shared by universities in Cambodia and Laos, where campuses also act as community refuges during natural disasters.
   🌍 Parallels with Cambodia & Laos
   Like its neighbours, Thammasat Rangsit emphasises Theravada Buddhist values of compassion and learning. The campus hosts students from Lao and Cambodian provinces, and its collaboration with the Asian Institute of Technology fosters cross‑border research in engineering and environmental science en.wikipedia.org. Many Lao and Khmer students participate in exchange programmes and celebrate the Songkran, Bunpimay and Chaul Chnam Thmey water festivals together, sharing rituals that symbolise purification and renewal en.wikipedia.org. The campus’s rooftop farm reflects agricultural traditions found along Cambodia’s Tonle Sap and Laos’s Mekong River, illustrating how innovation and heritage coexist across the region.
