Nakhon Phanom
Nakhon Pathom is one of the central provinces (changwat) of Thailand. Neighbouring provinces are (from north clockwise) Suphan Buri, Ayutthaya, Nonthaburi,
Bangkok, Samut Sakhon, Ratchaburi, and Kanchanaburi. The province has long been known for its fruit orchards, but now includes two leading universities and major industrial areas. Nakhon Pathom is one of the five provinces that forms the Bangkok Metropolitan Region.
Nakorn Pathom is home to the Sanamchandra Palace campus of Silpakorn University, the third oldest in Thailand. It was established in 1923 as the School of Fine Arts by Corrado Ferroci (Prof. Silpa Bhirasri), who under the commission of King Rama V1, was appointed to work as a sculptor at the school. In 1943 the school achieved university status and now includes 12 faculties, a graduate school, and an international college that teaches entirely in English. There are two campuses in Bangkok, and one in Phetchaburi Province.
Mahidol University also has a campus in Nakhon Pathom. Originally known as a leading medical university, it now teaches all major subjects and ranks high among universities in Southeast Asia. Its Salaya campus includes an all-English language international college. Like Silpakorn, Mahidol has branch campuses in many other central Thailand locations.
