Community leaders joined in to help the engineering
company that worked on the building of the Tiffany Theatre and a number of
Pattaya-area hotels in celebrating its 20-year anniversary.
Suchai Rujivanitchkul (center), managing director of Sea
Side International Consulting Engineers Co. Ltd., along with family and
friends begin the company’s 20th anniversary celebrations with a solemn
religious ceremony.
Sea Side International Consulting Engineers Co., Ltd.
hosted its gala party May 16 at the Ratthakij Building on Sukhumvit Road in
Central Pattaya. Managing Director Suchai Rujivanitchkul gave alms to nine
Buddhist monks at the celebration, which was attended by civil leaders and
businesspeople.
Sea Side was established May 17, 1990 and has consulted
on design and construction projects for the Sanctuary Wong Amat, A-Plus
Condo in Central Pattaya, Long Beach Garden Hotel, Zign Hotel in Naklua and
others.
Suchai recalled that although he graduated with an
engineering degree from Chulalongkorn University, he had come to Pattaya to
pursue music. To make ends meet, he started working at Siam Country Club.
Four years later he met Wiroj Liamyoo, who pulled him back into engineering.
In addition to running his busy company, which still does
work with the golf course where he started, Suchai also is active in
community service. He is a support committee member for the Redemptorist
School for the Blind in Pattaya and supplied the designs for its
vocational-training building. The company also provides free consultations
for temples, state hospitals and charity organizations.
Paul Crouch
tells PILC members about the upcoming
Round Square International Conference.

The director of the 2010 Round Square International
Conference to be held at Pattaya’s Regent’s School invited the Pattaya
International Ladies Club to join its effort to develop students into “whole
people” through academic, physical, cultural and spiritual experiences.
Regent’s School teacher Paul Crouch told a recent PILC
luncheon that the October conference will see students from Round Square’s more
than 60 worldwide member schools come to Pattaya for five days to meet and
discuss issues related to the organization’s IDEALS principles of
Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service.
“Our target is to introduce as many Round Square friends to
Thai society as possible and we are happy to work together with fantastic
partners.”
The Round Square Conference of Schools is a worldwide
association that allows students to travel between schools and tour the world to
do community service.
Themed “We Walk Together,” the conference will feature a
speakers lineup that includes Peter Dalgish, executive director of Southeast
Asian Children’s Help Network, Rev. Joe Maier of Bangkok, the co-founder and
chairman of the Human Development Foundation, Usanee Janngeon, the foundation’s
executive director, and Mechai Viravaidya, the founder and chairman of the
Population and Community Development Association.
Crouch asked the ladies to help so the dream of “We Walk
Together” can be fulfilled.
“We at our school believe in the phrase “we walk together”
because it means sharing and partnership. We always walk together, be it as
friends or strangers or social organizations. We walk together as humans. In
October we ask you all to join us and our society and walk together with us.”
PILC president, Anja Schoof thanked Crouch and presented him
with a gift and a pledge of PILC’s support.
