History
Founded in 1959, under co-operation between the Royal Thai Government and the Federal Republic of Germany, KMUTNB was established as the “Thai-German Technical School”.
In 1964, the school was upgraded to “Thai-German Technical College”.
In 1971, Thai-German Technical College joined with Thonburi Technical College and Telecommunication College Nonthaburi to become the North Bangkok campus of “King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology.”
In 1986, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology separated into three autonomous universities:
- King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang
- King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Thonburi
- King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology North Bangkok
In 1995, KMITNB acquired land in Prachinburi Province to establish a new campus, “KMITNB Prachinburi.”

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
