  • What happens when the impossible force- epic Thai food- meets the immovable object- the dregs of campus dining?
    This was the question we set out to answer at Bangkok's Ramkhamhaeng University, the largest college campus in Southeast Asia and the alma mater of OTR videographer/director Jaspar. With the help of his old connections from the Mass Communications department, he got us entry to the classrooms, the coffeeshops, and most of all, the dining hall at the University, before we spent the evening checking out the markets and food carts right outside the school gates.

    Hope you enjoy the video! We didn't actually plan to film this one- we had another one prepared (which you'll see next week) but some of the places we planned to shoot were blocked by protests during vote-counting in Parliament. So Jaspar suggested this as an alternative, and I thought it was a great idea- and a really cool experience to actually get to explore campus and eat with the students. This is a long way of saying that it might be a bit more "lighthearted" than a lot of our usual stuff but I very much hope you enjoy the video.
    Locations are pretty much all either on campus or just outside the north gate. If you need specific directions to anything, just leave a comment!
    Thanks as always for watching and a ton of gratitude to those who are supporting OTR on Patreon- it's what makes this all possible.

    In comparing US cafeterias to those in Thailand, a significant contrast lies in their operational structures. In the US, most cafeterias are outsourced to major corporations like Aramark, RA, etc. Meanwhile, in Thailand, each cafeteria typically hosts numerous independent contractors. This distinction leads to a remarkable variation in flavors found in Thai cafeterias, as diverse vendors craft unique dishes using different ingredients. On the other hand, in my Aramark-managed cafeteria in the US, the same people using the same ingredients creating different dishes resulted in flavors that closely resembled one another.

    Ramkhamhaeng University (RU) is the second mass market university in Thailand after Thammasat University which admits unlimited students without entrance exam. It was established in 1971 on the farm land which used to host international expo on Bangkok’s perimeter in those days. I attended this expo when I was a high school student and it took more than one hour by bus to get there. On the way, there were rice fields on both sides of a 2-lane road. The expo site was a lonely building amid the rice field!
    Thammasat university was the second oldest university after Chulalongkorn university. It was established by Prime Minister Pridi Bhanomyong shortly before WWII who wanted to open tertiary education to the public without entrance exam. However after WWII, the junta coup leader decided to change mass market Thammasat to closed university in 1952 with entrance exam admission like Chulalongkorn. Even though more public universities in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen and Songkhla were opened, they were/are closed universities, requiring entrance exam admission.
    However with rising number of high school graduates, more than half could not get admitted to public universities and could not afford tuition at private universities, the government then decided in 1971 to establish a mass market university on the former land and buildings which hosted international expo. The university was named Ramkhamhaeng to honor King Ramkhamhaeng of Sukhothai dynasty who was believed to invent Thai alphabets. The concept of mass market university is unlimited access with no entrance exam and students are not required to attend the lecture (lectures are held as usual but seats are limited to hall capacity). Basic texts and tuition fees are very cheap, the cheapest in Thailand even cheaper than Sukhothai Open University which was established later which does not hold daily lectures; students learn from books and online.

      My father was one of the organizers of the said expo. He and his boss would paddle in a canoe, as the land was a flooded rice field, to mark out the area needed for the expo. When the expo was finished and area repurposed as Ramkhamhaeng U., the Ministry of Commerce, who ran the expo, retained a small strip of land for its offices. Later these offices were turned over to the university around the early 70’s.

      No, Mahidol is as it has 2 famous medical schools Siriraj (the oldest medical training school in Thailand) and Rama. There are 3 famous Bangkok medical schools namely Chula, Siriraj and Rama. Imagine a university with 2 famous medical schools! Mahidol is also famous for its science/mathematics programs apart from medical schools. Thammasat is famous for its social science programs. Even though over the years, the university also diversifies offering engineering and medical training, it is still regarded as second best in both fields.

Leaving Khao Lak I skipped breakfast taxied down to HKT and flew to BKK, took the airport rail link to Phayathai BTS, exited down to Florida Hotel and ate at the Tampa Cafe. It was very good. It felt like I had left Thailand and was back in the States.
    I was the only farang there and was shocked how many Thais were there enjoying bbq ribs and rolls for lunch. Like I had said in previous post I have walked past this hotel for 30 years and never knew the Tampa was there. It will now be a regular lunch stop when in BKK. Thanks

    In term of contiguous land area, the campus of KMITL in Ladkrabang near Suvarnabhumi Airport might be bigger.
    Despite having 100,000s student, not all of them are on Ram U. campus at the same time as they could be taking distance learning as well.
    Another interesting fact, most of the top-scoring bar exam takers come from Ram’s Law School, not the more prestigious Chula or Thammasart. It is said that with Ram, it’s easy to get in but very hard to get out (graduate).

    I live less than 5KM away from Ramkhamhaeng and you are absolutely right. The university affects everything around it; food and staff in hospitality around it, diversity, acceptance and communication, markets and shops....I'll seriously will miss it, moving back into the city soon.

    An ex-ABAC student here. The road behind RKH Uni. (I think it’s Soi 22 or 24...not so sure) is a foodie’s heaven. It reaches ABAC Uni which has good and cheap restaurants around the campus as well. My favorite place was the rice barbecue pork and lad-na restaurant (A-pi-poch but I don’t think it’s there anymore ) at the beginning of Soi ABAC.

    Another thing is college students are a lot more keen to try different cuisines as well. I remember at Khom Kaen University there were the first Korean and Japanese shops outside of the chain ones in shopping mall. Definitely a place where the ‘hip’ food originate

    This video reminds me of my college time which was 30+years ago. I went to college of nursing which belongs to Naval medical academy. I was part of Navy when I was in college. Of course, our cafeteria belonged to Navy. I remember the food was so awful. We did not have good food at all. Not sure why Navy did not have good Thai food 😂. So What I usually did back then, if I didn't go back home on the weekends ( we were allowed to go home on the weekends), was to visit friends at Ramkhamhang university. They lived near the campus. They would take me to the restaurants nearby, most of them were southern food which I love. Btw, I am from northern part of Thailand. Oh, it's a good and fun time. When I had to go back to nursing college on Sunday, I would be depressed 😔. Thanks for the video. Love your videos because you do research and educate all of us including Thais and foreigners. Keep up a good job 👍

    Great vid Jaspar on the incredible variety and choice available in this Thai student cafeteria ; every day is a school day; I am glad that I'm not the only old guy on the block and and the challenge is for us all is to stay relevant and current; not easy when youngsters don't want to join you for a meal; we have much to teach the up coming 21st C millennials but who wants to listen to gain something from an oldie with a wealth of painfully won experience?

    I graduated from RU many years ago and now, I am pursuing the second undergraduate degree . Welcome to RU university. RU provides the international program for foreigners and it is the one independent university which students can handle own schedules and have much more flexibility to enroll along with their comfortable times each of persons including being able to work and study at the same time.
    You can try on eating at the humanities faculty ‘s cafeteria which there is only the one Thai noodle shop. I love dropping off here after class because there are less students. Another reason is that I am quite lazy to walk a distance to get some foods at Noppamas cafeteria and there are overcrowded there in lunchtime so I dislike to get there.

    I, now a middle aged German guy, graduated at IIS Ram in 2012 and lived close by. Ate there hundreds of times, got drunk in Soi 65 probably even more, sometimes also on the forbidden roof top of the IIS building between classes. Just found your channel and started the video. Looking forward for the flash backs.

    In terms of quality, I would love you to see two main canteens at Kasetsart University. Part of the reason I moved there is because of the quality and price of their food. We have the legendary fried chicken -- the texture that you don't normally find elsewhere. You are welcomed here anytime. I will take you around.

    Gudang Garam! 😂 What are the chances! I’ve just watched a video of an Indonesian influencer having a meal in Chulalongkorn University (where many Indonesian students go to, apparently) and now I’m seeing one on Ramkhamhaeng University. I love your observation that university dining halls are melting pots where you can have dishes from around the country.
    And damn, the food at their dining halls look GOOD! Our universities and the substandard stalls they have in their cafeterias really need to step up LOL. I’d take eating in one of the cafeterias over dining at the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle 😁

    I was there as this university's Golf MBA student in 2012-2015 that first dining hall Noppamas Building had almost everything I needed for breakfast and lunch.
    There's Hainanese chicken rice and biryani chicken rice stall in deeper in the 1st floor dining hall made by these lovely Muslim women I think at 7:15 I used to be regular there, they're do not gimp on serving size one dish will more than fill you up, very good taste too.

      I decided not to order biryani as I knew we were going to check out a Muslim area later and I figured I'd find more of it. But I regretted it immediately- the place you're describing looked amazing and a ton of people around seemed to be eating it.

      It is the biggest in term of student population, but far from biggest in term of land areas. Most regional universities have bigger land area as land is much cheaper there in those days.

    Funny that I've been eating food from Ramkamheang university cafeteria for the last few months. My husband and I retired early after a windfall. Then he decided to enroll at Ramkamheang to study some humanities subjects that he has always been interested in. He found the food from the cafeteria to be really cheap and very good, so he always bought some food home for us.
    According to him, there are many outsiders coming to eat at the cafeteria everyday. Apart from the Muslim students from the south, there are now a sizable number of muslim students from Africa as well.
