Khon Kaen University<\/strong>\u00a0is an internationally-recognized university in Asia. It is located in the\u00a0Isan\u00a0region ofThailand. The university is a central hub of education in north-east Thailand.<\/p>\n

In\u00a01941, during the reign of the King\u00a0Ananda Mahidol\u00a0and during the time of Field Marshal\u00a0Pibulsonggram\u00a0as prime minister, they had a plan to improve continued education throughout Thailand. There were plans to open a university in the\u00a0Ubon Ratchathani province, but the\u00a0Second World War\u00a0had broken out. Thailand was militarily forced into siding with\u00a0Japan. Plans to build universities in north east Thailand had fallen through. It wasn’t until\u00a01960\u00a0that plans to open institutions of further instruction in north east Thailand would continue.<\/p>\n

In\u00a01962\u00a0the proposition to open an institution of further education in the fields of\u00a0engineering\u00a0and advanced\u00a0agriculture\u00a0passed. Thus the Khon Kaen Institute of Technology was born. After this it became known as the\u00a0University of North East Thailand<\/strong>. Because there was no government office that would take responsibility of managing the university directly, the government set up a national education council. This council was responsible for establishing national curriculum and obtaining assistance from abroad.<\/p>\n

In\u00a01963\u00a0the faculty’s subcommittee established that the campus would be located approximately four kilometres from the city of\u00a0Khon Kaenand would occupy approximately 3 300 000 square metres. In\u00a01965\u00a0the prime minister’s office officially changed the name of University of North East Thailand to\u00a0Khon Kaen University<\/strong>. The university also received the ability to control its own affairs.<\/p>\n

It was a tradition for Khon Kaen University students from the faculties of Engineering and Agriculture to engage in an annual inter-faculty sports brawl at the university’s sports fields.<\/p>\n
