Ruam-Tawan Centre
Over the past 10 years, the Association for the Development of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), a Thai non-governmental organization found in 1988, has continuously launched many public campaigns aiming to raise Thai citizen’s awareness on natural resource and environmental conservation. ADEQ’s various projects are increasingly initiated and ADEQ realizes that the area is limited to permanently hold the exhibition, demonstrations, seminars and training courses.
In response to the above problem, ADEQ, in year 1999, bought a piece of land located on Kanchanaburi-Ladya Road, about 50 km from Kanchanaburi province’s town center, whilst an educational center, named Ruam-Tawan Centre, was then established to permanently host ADEQ's exhibition materials that once was used in ADEQ's campaigning activities. The Centre has since then operated to organize all year round workshops and hand-on exhibitions on resource efficiency and environmental conservation for many groups of people such as youth, teachers, business enterprises and governmental officials, etc., with the main 4 objectives accordingly;
