Uthenthawai and Pathumwan Campuses Close Following Ministry Directive

According to a report by Matichon Online on September 10, 2026, the campuses of Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok (Uthenthawai) and Pathumwan Institute of Technology have become notably quiet. Both institutions have shuttered their gates to students, adhering to a directive issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI).

This closure follows the implementation of four specific measures mandated by the Ministry, designed to de-escalate long-standing tensions and conflicts between the two student bodies. The campuses, which are typically bustling with academic activity, are currently devoid of students as the administration enforces these new safety and disciplinary protocols.

For residents and travelers in the area, this development means that the immediate vicinity of these campuses is likely to experience reduced foot traffic and a temporary suspension of normal academic operations. While the Ministry has initiated these measures to restore order and safety, the long-term impact on the academic calendar and the specific duration of these closures remain to be confirmed. Observers are waiting to see how these four measures will be integrated into the daily management of the institutions once they eventually reopen. Visitors should be aware that access to these areas may be restricted until further notice.
