Kasetsart University: A Green Oasis in Bangkok
Kasetsart University (KU) is one of Thailand’s most prestigious public universities, renowned for contributing to agriculture, science, and technology. Established in 1943, KU’s Bang Khen Campus in northern Bangkok is a hidden gem for international tourists seeking a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
We will all be staying at KU Home, a hotel located on campus and within walking distance of the workshop venue.

Transportation from the Airport to the KU campus:
Note that Bangkok has two international airports located at opposite ends of the city: Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK). Most of you will be arriving at BKK. Participants from Malaysia will be arriving at DMK.
This website provides step-by-step directions to the engineering faculty at Kasetsart University from either of the airports, along with all possible commuting modes. Our final destination will be KU Home, not the engineering department. So the last part of the direction on the website will be slightly different.
Grab might be the easiest option upon arrival. Please feel free to organize sharing Grab rides among yourselves.
