Faculty members and students are important parts that drive the work in the University and the dissemination of knowledge to the students and the society. However, these works would be impossible without the personnel in the support section.

In this regard, Thammasat University supports the welfare benefits of the employees of the University in all categories, including civil servants, university employees, permanent employees, employees from university income, and temporary employees, with the allocation of the following benefits, funds and grants for the personnel:
