Black and white uniforms are usually ubiquitous at most Thai universities -- but not at Thammasat University. Formed by Pridi Banomyong over eight decades ago, the university has been perceived as a bastion of liberal values and non-conformity in the country.
The campus, especially at Tha Phrachan near Sanam Luang, has been associated as a focal point of political revolution and the history of the university is underlined with student protests in the 70s.
Its university students have always been perceived as non-conformists. Students at the university often wear casual clothes. Many wear short pants and sandals into class. University executives don't seem to worry about this.
