The First Person Record “The learning of law”
**When Prince Rapee Pattanasak was graduated in Thai and English subjects from the school of Thailand in 2431(the Buddhist Era). He went to learn in the high school at London England .After that, he examined a entrance examination to learn in Faculty of Law of Cyrcourt College of Oxford University with his seventeen years old. Because of his great abilities and attention to learn, so he could pass the examinations. He received the bachelor’s degree in Faculty of Law within three years from four years.
From the beginning , he intended that when he graduated from Oxford University, he intended to learn at a law school of the Bar Association of England. To learning the judgments of the law court and when he completed, he went to learn in the next level at German. But he could not act according to his plan because the fifth reigns was King Chulalongkorn called him returned to work in Thai government. So, he must returned to Thailand in B.E.2436(Ratanakosin Era 112).
Although, he had a great abilities of science of law of aboard, but he did not know clearly the law of Thailand. Because he went to learn at aboard since he was young. So, he did not know all the law of Thailand well.
**Therefore, he learnt the law of Thailand with Mom Luang Rolang Yukmanks or called him “Phraya Apaiyaracha” who was a Beligium lawyer. He was an Thai Government advisor. Prince Rapee learnt from the law textbooks which Doctor Bradley was written. He was interesting to learn the Thai law very much until he was a profound and penetrating in the Thai law, and he completed his education in a short time. Phraya Apaiyaracha admired him about a great quantity of abilities of Prince Rapee pattanasak. Prince learnt the Thai law because he must governed Thai government to according to the way of Thai law and for he understood the foundation of Thai law.
***Next time ,I will mention to other abilities of Prince Rapee. But at this time I will go to learn Philosophy of law (LA 3506)***
***The last for my family….I love my Family .
