On August 7 each year, Thailand legal profession pays tribute to Prince Rapee Pattanasak, the father of Thailand’s modern legal system and a son of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn or King Rama V.
The Prince took the initiative to establish the first law school in Thailand in 1897. In his 14 years in office, he laid a firm foundation for the Thai legal system.
His statue has been erected in front of the Ministry of Justice, and each year law practitioners and the general public who live under the law he once wrote pay tribute to him.
