On 23 December 2025 at 1:00 p.m., Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously visited to follow up on the implementation of royal initiative projects at Ban Huai Salung Border Patrol Police Learning Center, Mae Ramat District, Tak Province. This marked her second visit to the learning center and her 1,138th visit to Border Patrol Police schools nationwide.
The learning center provides education from kindergarten through Grade 6 and currently has 100 students.
On this occasion, Her Royal Highness graciously bestowed First-Class Honor Pins upon 15 individuals who have supported the royal initiative projects. She also granted an audience to seven students under royal patronage who are currently pursuing their studies and allowed them to report on their academic progress.
At this time, the President of the Royal Patronage Students Club of Tak Province respectfully presented a report on the club’s operations. The club brings together students working in Tak Province and currently has a total of 262 members. Its responsibilities include monitoring and supporting students under royal patronage who are currently studying, as well as carrying out school development activities under royal initiative projects across Tak Province. Responsibilities are divided among members covering seven districts.
Her Royal Highness then observed various royal initiative project activities, including library and infirmary services. For student cooperative activities, the school operates a shop and savings program. In vocational training, students are taught to make floor mops, doormats, and woven plastic baskets, which are sold through the school cooperative and within the local community.
In addition, Thai language classes were organized for Grade 4 students, focusing on reading comprehension through folktales to enhance reading skills.
Her Royal Highness followed up on the School Lunch Agriculture Project, in which students engage in hands-on activities such as growing vegetables, fruit trees, and dried legumes, as well as livestock farming including chickens, ducks, and pigs. Fisheries activities include raising herbivorous fish in earthen ponds and catfish in concrete ponds. The produce is used for preparing school lunches and further processed into preserved food products such as mung bean custard desserts, banana chips, and pandan-flavored salted eggs.
The project has also been expanded from the school to the community by promoting knowledge on health care, environmental sanitation, and household accounting. Plant seedlings were distributed to parents for household consumption to help reduce expenses.
On this occasion, Her Royal Highness graciously met with local residents and visited the Royal Medical Unit from Mae Ramat Hospital, which provided general medical services to students and members of the public during the visit.
