- The demands of officials specialized in various fields by the government in the late 19th century Siam was an result of King Chulalongkorn?s bureaucratic reforms, which aimed to transform the feudal Thai society into a modernized state. In 1899, the king founded the Civil Service Training School near the northern gate of the Royal Palace. Those who graduated from the school would become royal pages. Being royal pages, they learned how to administer organizations by working closely with the king, which was a traditional way of entrance to Siamese bureaucracy. After being royal pages, they would then serve in the Mahattai Ministry or other government ministries. On April 1, 1902 the king thought the name of the school should be renamed to increase dignity of students and graduates. Hence the name Royal Pages School was later used. Later, on January 1, 1911, King Vajiravudh renamed the school again to Civil Service College of King Chulalongkorn as a memorial to his father and moved the school to Windsor Palace in the Pathumwan district.
