Taweethapisek School (Thai: โรงเรียนทวีธาภิเศก) is located in Bangkok Yai District, Bangkok, Thailand, in the Thonburi area. The school was founded by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) on 19 July 1895. It has facilities such as basketball and table-tennis as well as a 400-metre running track around the football field. As of 2013 there are about 3,000 students. Most of the students are Thai and mostly Buddhist, while other students follow other religions, including Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity.

Taweethapisek School was established on July 19, 1895 by King Rama V. To celebrate this special occasion, King Rama V wanted to establish a school in honor of his grandfather, King Rama II. He donated 2,000,000 baht and persuaded the royal members to donate to build the school at Wat Arun Ratchawararam, the royal temple of King Rama II.
King Rama V named the school "Taweethapisek". In Thai, Tawee means twice or double and pisek means coronation. When the school started, there were 162 students and 6 teachers. The first school building was 4 stories high and the first director was Khun Uparakansilapaset.
In 1951, the school started to move some students to study at a new location at Wat Nakklang[clarification needed] because the school building at Wat Arun was too small for the increasing number of students. In 1960, the school building at Wat Nakklang was finished, and all the students in grades 7–12 were moved that year.[1]

School Symboledit
On the coronation day of King Rama V, Taweethapisek coins were given to the royal members and bureaucrats who came to join the Taweethapisek ceremony. Thus, the school uses the coin as the school symbol. In the school symbol, there are coats of arms of King Rama II, King Rama V, and other insignias that represent them.[3]
