Founded during the reign of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, the university has adopted the Princess Mother's principle of "restoring forests and cultivating people", and embraced His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great's initiatives on forest preservation as its core principles since inception. Additionally, the university integrates the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy and the "Understanding, Accessing, and Developing" principle in its work with surrounding communities striving for sustainable progress and prosperity.
Furthermore, over the years, Mae Fah Luang University has been immensely graced by the benevolence of the Royal Family, through their royal attendance, support, and guidance. The university is deeply grateful for this boundless compassion, particularly from Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. Her exceptional kindness is exemplified by her gracious presence at various university events throughout the years. Notably, with the permission of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great and His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua, Her Royal Highness has presided over and conferred degrees on behalf of Their Majesties at Mae Fah Luang University's commencement ceremonies.
