Mahateerarajchow Day
This is the formal remembrace of HM King Rama VI, the founder of Samaggi Samagaom.
KING VAJIRAVUDH [ Rama VI ] 1910 - 1925
Whose reigning title was Phra Mongkut Klao Chaoyuhua, was second son of King Chulalongkorn and Queen Sripatcharintra Boromrajininart. He was born at Bangkok on January 1, 1881, and was proclaimed heir-apparent, or Crown Prince, on the death of his elder half-brother, Prince Vajirunhis, in 1895, while he was studying in England. He was the first Siamese King to have studied abroad, first with a private tutor before entering the Royal Military College at Sandhurst and, after being commissioned, was attached to the Durham Light Infantry. In 1899, His Majesty entered Christchurch College, Oxford, where he studied history. In 1901, His Majesty established Samaggi Samagom, the Thai Student Association UK, with the aim to unite and reinforce harmonious relationships amongst Thai people in the UK.
The event is jointly hosted by the Thai Student Office (Kor Por) and Samaggi Samagom on Saturday 25th November 2006, from 9-12am, at Kor Por. Everyone is welcome. In the afternoon, representatives from Thai Societies around the UK will have their first general meeting.
