Vajirabudh Scout Camp

Vajirabudh Scout Camp here in Thailand is the counterpart of our known Mt. Makiling Boy Scout campsite in the Philippines.  I am here for the World Scout Bureau, Asia-Pacific Region on the Latest Innovations in Teaching Methods and Techniques.  We have delegates coming from various countries in Asia-Pacific.  We are 6 Scouters representing the Philippines.

My first impression of the Vajirabudh Scout Camp was excellent.  The campsite was named after their king who introduced the Scouting movement to Thailand.  The whole place was like a very clean park. You are close to outdoors at the same time a clean park mixed together.

The sleeping quarters were in octagonal shape that accommodates eight persons.  Each having a place to hang their clothes both wet and dry, very very clean bathrooms and toilet, each have reading table and most important of all, it is fully air-conditioned.  Each room has two 5 tons air-conditioning unit.

The session hall was well carpeted at the same time we have Wi-fi in the campsite with very good reception.  The session rooms are also air-conditioned and fully equipped with motored giant screens and high end LCD projectors.

I also notice around the camp site has several structures for prayer, there was a mosque, a Christian church, a temple; accommodating different religious needs of the people.  Their menu can also accommodate vegetarians etc... It was really well thought, simple, practical and a balance between modernity and outdoors.

Very nice place.
