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:
“It’s a very delicate surgical operation—to cut out the heart without killing the patient. The history of our country, however, is a very tough old patient, and we’ll do the best we can.”
—Dudley Nichols, U.S. screenwriter. Jean Renoir. Sorel (Philip Merivale)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
