Despite the threat of rain and thunderstorms the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin enjoyed a social evening on the beach in Khao Tao to celebrate its 12th Birthday. The event was attended by 28 members and guests and the occasional persons wandering along the beach who enjoyed a social get together in a relaxed setting.
We hold our monthly Fellowship Meeting at 1800 hrs on the first Tuesday of each month and weekly lunch meetings at the Amari Hotel, Hua Hin, on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the Month at 1200 hrs. There are no meetings on the third Tuesday or when there is a fifth. The full schedule is below.

After a long delay due to effects of Covid-19 on the education system here in Thailand the first National conference since August 2020 was held again at the Golden Beach resort in Cha-Am from the 22nd to the 25th March 2022. 17 of the 19-participating sent 156 delegates to the conference, two of the schools were unable to attend due to Covid restrictions in their area.
The Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin are pleased to announce the approval of our first Honorary Member Dr Michael Erich Gubser.
Dr Gubser from Switzerland is one of four active managers for the Help4People Foundation which was established to direct help from people for people in need and has many global projects, many of which are in SE Asia. Most of these projects come within the seven core areas of focus for Rotary International.
Following a plea locally to help Theo Zwahlen, a Swiss national who after running a trail in Koh Chang collapsed with heat stroke, followed by kidney failure and muscle breakdown, Rotarian Reetika Saha responded with the call for urgent donation of blood.
Theo was admitted to Bangkok Hospital in Chantaburi and needed platelets, however, his blood type was the slightly rarer O Rhesus negative (approximately 1 person in 15), but even rarer in Thailand with only 1 person in every 1000 having this blood type.
A few days ago, the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin welcomed it’s 54th member, Patrick Meier from Switzerland who has recently settled in Hua Hin. Patrick was presented with his new member certificate and Rotary badges from his sponsor Helmut Schepers and President Phil Lawrence.

Dear Rotarians
We have now reached the 11th month of Rotary Year 117 and this month May, is Rotary International’s youth service month.
The Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin has been proud to sponsor two Rotaract clubs, sadly in 2021 Webster University have withdrawn their campuses here in Thailand and Webster Rotaract Club who was sponsored by us in 2013 was disbanded.
Stamford International University who was sponsored in 2016 has also struggled in recent years due to online learning, and the once vibrant, enthusiastic Rotaractors who were first to engage in community projects and fundraising have had to step back due to restrictions caused by Covid-19. Sadly, many of these students have now graduated and left the university.
