Uthen Thawai-Pathumwan 2026: Yodsanan Resolves Relocation

The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation has moved to resolve the long-standing tensions between two prominent educational institutes. On October 20, 2026, Mr. Yodsanan Wongsuwan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, disclosed the outcomes of a tripartite meeting held to establish practical guidelines between representatives from Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Uthen Thawai Campus, and Pathumwan Institute of Technology.

The discussion at the ministry focused on enforcing the rule of law while ensuring maximum safety and comprehensive welfare for everyone affected by the upcoming institutional transition. Officials outlined clear parameters to cushion the financial and logistical blow on students and faculty members.

Addressing the first core issue, the relocation of the campus, Yodsanan emphasized adherence to the binding verdict issued by the Committee for the Resolution of Civil Litigation Involving Government Agencies. To mitigate hardship, the ministry prepared compensation packages covering tuition adjustments, moving allowances, staff commuting costs, and refunds for advance dormitory rent paid by students.

The subsequent measures involve suspending regular on-site instructions while implementing strict security protocols. Authorities agreed to grant special permissions allowing specific students to access laboratory facilities exclusively during examination periods, accompanied by heavy police surveillance to maintain public order.
