Abstract
During the last few decades, Thailand has seen a significant change in a way astronomical research and education is pursued in the country as the government realized the important roles that basic science plays in shaping up a knowledge-based society. In 2004, a cabinet resolution fulfilled the long-held dreams of the country's leading astronomers by assigning the Ministry of Science and Technology to establish the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT). NARIT has been tasked to strengthen not only research and educational capacity building in astronomy and related fields but also to ensure that a foundation for basic sciences exists for appropriate technology and innovation essential for a scientific astronomy education at all levels, both in formal and informal education.
