Paying tribute to the "Father of Thai Law"! The Law Program, Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies, Khon Kaen University, participated in the wreath-laying ceremony for "Rapee Day" 2026.

August 7, 2026 – On August 7, the Law Program, Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies at Khon Kaen University expressed their deep gratitude and commemorated the immense grace of His Royal Highness Prince Raphi Phatthanasak, Prince of Ratchaburi, universally revered as the "Father of Thai Law." The delegation attended the wreath-laying ceremony to mark the anniversary of his passing, a date widely known among legal professionals as "Rapee Day," at the Nong Khai Provincial Court.

The KKU delegation was led by Lecturer Jakkawan Kleebbua, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies, along with faculty executives, lecturers, and law students. Dressed respectfully for the occasion, the group joined various justice system agencies and government sectors in Nong Khai Province in this honorable and solemn ceremony.

Reflecting on the importance of the event, Lecturer Jakkawan Kleebbua stated, "August 7th of every year is a highly significant day for the Thai people, particularly for those in the legal profession. The presence of our faculty members and law students today is not only to pay respect and commemorate His Royal Highness for laying the foundations of the Thai court and legal system to meet international standards. It is also a crucial opportunity to instill a strong sense of conscience and a firm ideology in our students—reminding them to recognize the value of justice, integrity, and the use of law to serve society, following in His Royal Highness's footsteps."

Participating in the "Rapee Day" activities serves as a vital outside-the-classroom lesson. It plays a significant role in molding the law students of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies, Khon Kaen University, into future legal professionals equipped with both "knowledge" and "virtue"—ready to become a pillar of reliance and to uphold justice for Thai society in the future.
