International Students Handbook LIFE AT KMUTT Campus Established in 1960, as Thonburi Technical Institute, presently KMUTT has 3 campuses and 1 city center. 1. Bangmod Campus KMUTT Bangmod Campus is around 45 minutes drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport. This Campus is located in ‘Thonburi’, formerly the capital of Thailand. Half a century ago, this area was full of orange orchards, so-called ‘Som Bangmod’ and it was remote and underdeveloped. However, as KMUTT’s yearly enrolments increased, the area soon became a new satellite city with increasing shops, houses, apartment buildings, restaurants, cinema houses, department stores, and places for entertainment, but the cost of living is still very affordable. Presently, Bangmod campus is the main administrative campus, which homes of about 17,000 students and 2,000 academic staff members and personnels. The area of 135 Rai (54 acres) includes 9 faculties / schools; Faculty of Engineering (FoE), Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology (EDU), Faculty of Science (SC), Graduate School of Management and Innovation (GMI), Institute of Field Robotics (FiBO), School of Energy, Environment and Materials (SEEM), School of Information Technology (SIT), School of Liberal Arts (SoLA) and the Joint Graduate School of Energy and 10 International Students Handbook Environment (JGSEE). 2. Bangkhuntien Campus (BKT) This campus is located in Bangkhuntien district, Bangkok about 20 km. away from the Bangmod campus, with total area of 200 Rai (80 acres). This campus includes two schools: School of Architecture and Design (SoA+D) and School of Bioresources and Technology (SBT); and two scientific institutes namely Pilot Plant Development and Training Institute (PDTI) and Industrial Park Center (IPC). The two institutions cooperatively work to support each other in both the production of graduates in needed fields of science and technology and in the development of technology within the same area. Bangkhuntien is therefore the “Research Institute and Industrial Park” of KMUTT. 3. Rajaburi Campus This campus is located in Rajaburi province with total area of 1,150 Rai (460 acres). The site is highly suitable for teaching and learning, conducting research, providing academic services in the area, and disseminating knowledge about technology and arts. The campus can be developed into the country’s “Western Educational Park / Industrial Park”. The Information Technology program has started from 1996. The philosophy and method of teaching is with significant input from Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT), U.S.A. 4. Bangkok CODE (Community of Desirable Environment) - KMUTT City Center Bangkok CODE is an architecture and designs incubators/park, incubating architects and designers similar to the KMUTT Industrial Park incubating technology-based SMEs. In the era of flexible learning, it requires the higher educational institutions to be multifunctional, more friendly and ‘relevant’. The connections between education, professionals, society and individuals have to be established and strengthened. invention and networking is proposed to make use of the opportunity. The Bangkok CODE, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi City Center focuses on activities for human resource development. Aiming at producing world-class standard professionals, the center will be a place for both local and international professional interactions. Rather than solely conforming to pre-established standards, the center supports the freedom of individuals and their innovations in order to prepare them for the ever-changing, dynamic world.

Each Buddha image, large or small, ruined or not, is regarded as a sacred object. Never climb onto one to take a photograph or do anything which might indicate a lack of respect.

If a woman has to give anything to a monk, a monk will 28 International Students Handbook lay down his handy cloth then she can put the things on, alternately she can hands it to a man, who then presents it. Greeting: Thais don’t normally shake hands when they greet one another, but instead press the palms together in a prayer-like gesture called a wai. Generally, a younger person wais an elder, who returns it. Gestures: Thais regard the head as the highest part of the body, literally and figuratively.

Visa All international students studying in Thailand are required to act in accordance with the laws of Thailand, in particular those concerning visa matters. Meanwhile, they also have responsibility for all visa performance. The acceptance letter from the university will enable you to get a visa from Thai Embassy. The type of visa you need is a Non-immigrant: Education class or so-called NonED. There are two types of visa on your choices. - Single-entry visa.

Please carefully check the date on the stamp, as it is the date which you should get an extension of your staying period. Within these 90 days, you have to register and pay tuition fee at the university.

You will come back to Thailand with a new type of visa (a tourist-visa: TR), then again you need to prepare traveling out to apply for Non-ED at the Thai Embassy abroad. - Multiple-entry visa. This type of visa allows you to travel in and out of the country several times, until the date of visa on the label is expired, without the need of a re-entry permit. Every time you leave and return, your period of stay is extended for 90 days or as shown on the immigration stamp upon each return. To extend this type of visa, you have to leave and return before each 90 days is over. You should be careful, if you extend your period of stay with International Students Handbook 29 the same method of a single-entry visa, your multiple-entry visa will automatically change to a singleentry visa. Please note that if you stay longer than the date shown in the immigration stamp, you need to pay penalty fee 500 a day.

You need to notify, either in person or by posting, the Immigration Bureau every 90 days and inform them your current address. It’s a very simple form you have to fill in with free of charge. Later, you will get a slip for the next appointment date. Again, the next notification is also in the same technically procedures.
