Thailand's first university, also Thailand's most prestigious institution of higher learning, was founded in 1917. It is a comprehensive university. It is located in the heart of Bangkok, covering more than 200 hectares. A road divides the campus in two. The school has no closed walls, and the surrounding area is free to enter and exit the campus. There is also a quite brilliant page on the alumni directory of Zhula University, including the Thai princess and the president of the Thai National Assembly, who have cultivated a series of royal families, dignitaries and stars.
