	About Ramkhamhaeng University
		Before the establishment of Ramkhamhaeng University in 1971, Thailand had long suffered what might be called "a crisis in the quest for higher education".
		The university was granted permission to use a 300 rai (125 acre) plot of land in the eastern suburb of Bangkok as its main campus; this land once housed the International Trade Fair.
		In 1999, Ramkhamhaeng University expanded its educational opportunities by forming the Institute of International Studies (IIS-RU) as a faculty for the university’s international program to satisfy the ever growing demand for international higher education.

		Here, particularly during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great (1279-1317), was born the ideal of a paternalistic ruler alert to the needs of his people and aware that his duty was to guide them, a markedly different view from the divine kingship practiced by the Khmers who had previously ruled.
		King Rama I, founder of the dynasty, attempted to re-create the lost Ayutthaya when he built his new capital at Bangkok ---splendid in many ways, especially the still-dazzling Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha, but essentially medieval in outward aspects.
		He brought it to Bangkok, along with a stone seat believed to have been used by King Ramkhamhaeng as a throne, and later the words of the inscription were to serve as a kind of guide to his conduct as a ruler.
