Uthenthawai University Students Discuss Campus Future with Officials
Yodchanan Srivenwong met with Uthenthawai University students to discuss their request to remain on their current campus, focusing on education, safety, and future planning.
On September 23, 2026, Yodchanan Srivenwong engaged in a dialogue with students from Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Uthenthawai Campus, regarding the ongoing dispute over the university's land usage. According to Matichon Online, the meeting served as a platform for students to present their formal proposal to continue operating at their long-standing location.
The discussion centered on three primary pillars: the continuity of education, the safety of the student body, and the long-term future of the institution. For residents and visitors in the area, this situation is significant as it pertains to the potential relocation of a historic educational site in Bangkok, which could impact local traffic, community dynamics, and the surrounding urban landscape.
While the meeting allowed for an exchange of perspectives, the final decision regarding the campus land remains unconfirmed. It is not yet clear whether the authorities will accept the students' proposal to remain on-site or if a relocation plan will proceed. Stakeholders are currently awaiting further official announcements regarding the outcome of these negotiations and any subsequent policy changes that may affect the university's operations.
