Uthenthawai and Pathumwan Campuses Ordered to Suspend Operations for Three Months
Authorities have mandated a three-month suspension of activities at the Uthenthawai and Pathumwan campuses to facilitate relocation from a disputed site.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 9, 2026, Yotchanan has issued an official order requiring both the Uthenthawai and Pathumwan campuses to cease all operations and vacate their current premises within a three-month timeframe. This directive is intended to resolve long-standing land dispute issues associated with the locations.
For residents and travelers in Bangkok, this development is significant as it may lead to temporary closures or restricted access in the vicinity of these educational institutions. The sudden suspension of campus activities could impact local traffic patterns and the daily routines of students and staff in the area.
While the order is clear regarding the three-month timeline for relocation, several details remain to be confirmed. It is currently unclear how the institutions plan to manage their academic operations during this transition or what specific alternative sites have been designated for their relocation. Furthermore, the long-term status of the disputed land following the three-month period has not been finalized. Those planning to visit or commute near these areas are advised to monitor local news for updates on potential disruptions or changes to campus accessibility.
