Debsirin school, Secondary school in Bang Rak district, Bangkok, Thailand
Debsirin is a boys' school in Bangkok housed in a neoclassical building on Krungkasem Road, with traditional Thai architectural elements woven into its design. The campus spans multiple buildings containing classrooms, laboratories, and sports facilities for students.
The institution was founded in 1885 when the king received land from a nearby temple to create learning opportunities for citizens. Since its establishment, the school has grown into one of the country's oldest boys' schools.
The school maintains a close connection with the neighboring Wat Thep Sirin Thrawat temple, where students participate in morning alms-giving ceremonies. This daily practice weaves Buddhist tradition into the rhythm of school life on campus.
Visitors can explore the campus during school hours and observe the architecture and school facilities. The main access is along Krungkasem Road, and photography is normally permitted with advance notice.
The school hosts the Jaturamitr Samakkee, a traditional football competition between four of Thailand's oldest boys' schools held every two years. This tournament draws participants and spectators and has become a significant part of school life.
