Cafeterias and Canteens
Several cafeterias and canteens can be found throughout the Rangsit Campus. A variety of food is offered by
vendors at reasonable prices, both on weekdays and weekends. Adjacent to the SIIT building is a cafeteria which
serves both SIIT students and students of the Faculty of Engineering (Thai Program).
Additionally, there are two canteens inside the SIIT main building (on the first floor) and student activities center
selling snacks and beverages.
Banking Services
For banking services such as cash withdrawal and balance inquiries, students can conveniently use the automated
teller machines (ATM) which are located at various locations on campus and at the SIIT main building. For full
services, students can go to the on-campus branch offices of Bangkok Bank, Krung Thai Bank, and Thai Military
Bank. Other banks with branches near the campus are Kasikorn Bank, Siam City Bank, and Siam Commercial
Bank.
Dormitories
The Rangsit Campus has on-campus dormitories for male and female students. Over 5000 living units are
available to accommodate students, faculty members, and university staff. Within walking and short-driving
distances, many private dormitories can be found. These are co-ed dormitories, as well as dormitories with
separate buildings for male and female students. Air-conditioned units with bathrooms are also available.
Sports Facilities
The Rangsit Campus has a wide range of sporting facilities for students including swimming pools and practice
fields for soccer, basketball, volleyball and tennis, all of which are in the vicinity of the student dormitories. Areas
for indoor sports such as badminton and table tennis are provided in the indoor gymnasiums.
Other than sports activities, students may choose to exercise by biking, jogging, etc., especially in the morning
since the air is very refreshing.
SIIT at Bangkadi
In 1999, FTI, with co-operation from Toshiba Thailand Co., Ltd., and Mitsui & Co. (Thailand), Ltd., provided 5.6 rai
of land with an existing office building in the Bangkadi Industrial Park for SIIT’s use for a period of 30 years. The
existing building was renovated and a new building was constructed. The two buildings have a combined area of
approximately 3,300 m 2 . The Computer Science and Information Technology programs moved to these new
facilities in June 2002.
A new 6-story building with an area of 6,452 m 2 was completed in October 2004. Her Royal Highness Princess
Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously granted the use of the name “Sirindhralai” for this new building and graciously
presided over the inauguration of this new building on June 28, 2006. It houses the Electronics and Communication
Engineering program, the Engineering Management program, and the Management Technology program, the
library, the computer center, classrooms, and laboratories.
