A night to remember: celebrating 25 years of Rotary fellowship and service

The Rotary Club of Bangkok Vibhavadi held a special event on May 21, 2025 at Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok to mark its 25th anniversary and install the 2024–2025 club officers.

It was an evening filled with joy, reflection, and Rotary spirit. With over 250 Rotarians from across Bangkok in attendance, the ballroom was alive with energy, laughter, and meaningful reconnections. It was especially heartwarming to see former members and past presidents return to join the celebration — many of whom helped shape the club into what it is today.

We took the opportunity to look back on the journey of our club through three eras of giving: from digging village wells in our early years, to our signature “Lead-Free Thai Cooking Pot” project for public health, and now our ongoing efforts to support bedridden and elderly residents in Lak Si District — now entering its sixth year.

One of the most touching moments came when the medical team from Lom Sak Hospital joined us in person. After receiving the ENT examination workstation just two days prior, they came to express their heartfelt thanks and shared how much of a difference this equipment will make for their patients. Their words reminded us all why we do what we do.

We also celebrated the achievements of our outgoing president, Rotarian Benyapa Wonnadechtadakul, whose leadership brought many projects to successful completion this year. And in a respectful, well-conducted ceremony, Rotarian Surapol Vessrodkit was officially installed as our new club president for 2025–2026, with the collar handover conducted by our district’s respected leaders.

The evening also included a fun raffle, with proceeds going directly to our club’s future service projects — a perfect blend of fellowship and fundraising, celebrating both a strong legacy and a renewed commitment to serve.
