Rajinibon School (Thai: โรงเรียนราชินีบน, pronounced [roːŋ riːan raː.t͡ɕʰiː.niː bon]) is a private all-girls school in Thailand, located on Samsen Road near the Bang Krabue intersection in Dusit District, Bangkok.
History
It is part of the same school network as Rajini School, which is also situated along the Chao Phraya River in the Pak Khlong Talat area of Phra Nakhon.
The term "Bon" literally means "upper," indicating its location on the northern bank of the Chao Phraya River, in contrast to Rajini School located along the river's lower or southern section.[1]
Founded in 1929 by Princess Valaya Alongkorn, Princess of Phetchaburi. The school was established to educate and cultivate young women to become modern ladies of refinement, while preserving the ideals of traditional Thai feminine grace and dignity, and to ensure their well-rounded development in all aspects.[1]
At present
Currently, the school offers education from kindergarten level 1 to Grade 12 (Matthayom 6). The campus is divided into two separate sections, with Khiokai Ka Road, a side street branching off Samsen Road, running between them. The western end of this road connects to a pier (N20) used by the Chao Phraya Express Boat service. In the past, this area was known for its reputation as a red-light district.[1][2]
