From concert hall to classroom

Seeing where the music money goes

On Monday 2 November, our President, Dr Jean-Pierre Verbiest, led a team of Rotarians and Rotaractors to Klong Lad Krabang School to see first-hand where the money raised at Moonlight & Melodies will go. Thanks to the concert and our partners, around 566,000 THB is now in place, passing our 500,000 THB target, and the work is about to begin.

Club President 1984-85 · District Governor 1991-92

Soldier, statesman, Rotarian and gentleman

Farewell to a great gentleman of our club

It is with deep sorrow that the Rotary Club of Bangkok marks the passing of Past District Governor General Saiyud Kerdphol at the age of 104. A former Supreme Commander of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, he first joined our club in 1969, served as our President in 1984-85 and as District Governor in 1991-92. He was the last of our club's Past District Governors and one of the finest gentlemen ever to wear the Rotary wheel. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Rotarian Eva Maria degli Albizi, and all of his family.

Rotary Club of Bangkok Meets the Thai Red Cross to Explore Working Together

Bangkok, 20 October 2026. Our President, Dr Jean-Pierre Verbiest, President-Elect Khun Kitima Sirichai and Rotarian Dr Rapeephan Maude visited the Thai Red Cross Headquarters on Henri Dunant Road to meet senior leaders of the Thai Red Cross Relief and Community Health Bureau. The aim was to learn about each other's community service work and explore how we might join hands. The meeting was extremely informative, and both sides agreed there is much potential to work together in the future.
