Philosophy
Learning society is an essential key to sustainable economic development in Thailand, which would consequently lead to a good quality of life for people in the nation.
Thailand Knowledge Park or TK Park was founded as a "prototype" of a knowledge hub for children and the public to pursue knowledge. Aiming to respond to the lifelong pursuit of knowledge and lifelong learning, a "Living Library" fully equips with books, media. With "ongoing", "diverse" and "respond to need" reading activities and learning workshops, TK Park has become a crucial ingredient in thousands of children and adolescence's learning experience, a powerful force to drive Thailand to become a real "learning society".
