In 1909 the Academy was moved to the Rajadamnoen Nok Avenue where it stood until July 10, 1986. Now it is housed in a new, sprawling ultra modern complex. The present Academy is located at Khao Cha-ngoke in Muang District of Nakhon Nayok Province. The new campus, covering over 20,000 -rai plot of land (over 33 square kilometres), is about 140 kilometres northeast of Bangkok.
