Tassanee

 

AT 87, Tassanee Western still has very clear memories of her life as a young pupil at Mater Dei in Bangkok, which she refers to as “a school where all the Chao Phraya kids attended”. Thailand’s last two Kings were among those pupils.

 

Mater Dei, in Ploenchit Road, was primarily a Catholic girls school but it allowed boys to enrol in its |kindergarten and early primary education. 


Prince Ananda Mahidol, who enrolled in 1930 and was given 273 as his student ID number. 


He was made King of Thailand – Rama VIII – in 1935. 


His brother, then Prince Bhumibol Adulyadej, joined the Mater Dei school in 1930 and was student number 449.
