Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin Celebrates 'Rajamangala Day'

On September 15, 2026, Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin (RMUTR) hosted a formal event at its Salaya campus to celebrate 'Rajamangala Day.' The ceremony, presided over by University President Assoc. Prof. Dr. Udomwit Chaisakulkiet, honored the royal naming of the institution by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great.

The event featured a procession of the university’s royal emblem, performances dedicated to the monarchy, and a formal tribute ceremony. During the proceedings, the university presented the 7th 'Nopparat Rajamangala' awards for 2026 to individuals recognized for their significant contributions to society and the nation, including Mr. Weerasak Choengdee and Ms. Khemya.

For residents and visitors, this event highlights the cultural significance of the Rajamangala university network in Thailand. While the ceremony is a localized academic and cultural observance, it reflects the deep institutional ties between Thai universities and the monarchy. Travelers in the Salaya area may occasionally encounter increased traffic or campus activity during such commemorative dates. As this was a specific annual observance, no further public actions or policy changes were announced. The full list of award recipients remains a matter of internal university record.
