(5)Rajamangala Universities of Technology system 皇家技术大学系统,共9所
皇家技术大学是在原9所地方政府创办的职业技术学院基础上统一更名设立的技术类大学。皇家技术大学不在《皇家大学法》立法范围之内,不属于皇家大学,也不属于国办大学,属于地方政府公办大学。因拉玛九世国王亲自主持9所职业学院更名仪式,泰国政府遂决定冠以皇家名义,以示国王赐名。
国内一些网站将皇家技术大学翻译为皇家理工大学,这种译名是不严谨的。理工和科技是一个意思,包括Technology,还包括Science才是理工或科技,Technology 只是技术。这与这些技术大学基于职业技术学院升格成立的历史也更吻合。
