Description: |

The campus of Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok occupies an
area of 101.9 ha in the city centre's Pathum Wan District. It
accounts for just over half of the 184.5 ha of land owned by the
university, the rest of which is commercially developed or used
by other institutions. The campus sits on what was originally
royal land surrounding Windsor Palace, granted for the
university's use at its foundation in 1917 by King Vajiravudh.
Ownership of the land was transferred to the university by an
Act of Parliament in 1939. Chulalongkorn University,
nicknamed Chula, is a public and autonomous research university
in Bangkok, Thailand. The university was originally founded
during King Chulalongkorn's reign as a school for training royal
pages and civil servants in 1899 at the Grand Palace of
Thailand. The university campus is dominated by the
Auditorium, in front of which stands the Monument of King
Chulalongkorn and King Vajiravudh. |
