History
Mahavajiravudh Songkhla School is the oldest school in Songkhla province. It was established by Chaophraya Yommarat (Pan Sukhum), the governor of Nakhon Si Thammarat, on 27 October 1896 as an all-boys school. The project was funded by donations from residents, and the school was named Maha Vajiravudh as a mark of respect towards the Crown Prince Vajiravudh.[1] The school was converted into a co-educational school in 1995.
