BANGKOK – To bolster the legal competency of public servants and local administrators, Khon Kaen University’s Office of Academic Service (OAS KKU) recently conducted an intensive training program on the complexities of administrative law.
Held from April 1–3, 2026, at the SD Avenue Hotel in Bangkok, the course—“Issuing Administrative Orders to Prevent Liability and Administrative Cases for Public Executives”—attracted a significant nationwide audience of government leaders, civil servants, and legal practitioners.
The primary objective of the training was to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the legal principles, procedures, and conditions required to issue accurate and legally binding administrative orders. By developing skills to draft fair and transparent directives, the program aims to help officials close legal loopholes and significantly reduce the risk of disputes or lawsuits being brought before the Administrative Court.
The program’s curriculum was distinguished by its roster of high-level legal experts who shared their direct experiences. Keynote speakers and instructors included:
- Dr. Prasat Pongsuwan, President of the Personnel Administration Case Division of the Supreme Administrative Court
- Mr. Sutthiwat Masphan, President of the Supreme Administrative Court
- Assoc. Prof. Wanida Sangsaraphan, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Khon Kaen University
The training utilized a rigorous format that combined theoretical lectures with practical workshops. A major focus was placed on analyzing real-world case studies, allowing attendees to exchange ideas and learn how to effectively apply these legal concepts to their daily official duties.
The initiative received an overwhelming response from a diverse network of agencies across the country. Attendees included representatives from the Department of Livestock Development, provincial industry offices, the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA), Kasetsart University, Maejo University, various KKU faculties, local municipalities, and leading law firms.
This program reaffirms Khon Kaen University’s “Social Devotion” mission. By providing state agencies with high-level academic expertise, KKU continues to elevate public administration standards, ensuring government operations remain rooted in the rule of law and good governance.
