BANGKOK -- A 91-year-old woman became the oldest person to graduate from university in Thailand on Wednesday, receiving her bachelor's degree from King Maha Vajiralongkorn. Escorted by her family, Kimlun Jinakul travelled more than 700 kilometers from the northern province of Phayao to Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University, near Bangkok, to receive her bachelor's degree in human ecology. "When I was young, I actually received good grades," she said. Kimlun said she became inspired to continue her formal studies in 2011, once her children and grandchildren had received university educations and found decent jobs. The university said Kimlun had not received any special treatment in terms of grading.
