Mr. Pitiphatr BURI, CEO of BHIRAJ BURI GROUP, emphasized the significance of developing SAMA Garden as a model learning space to promote communities’ well-being around BITEC Buri. He stated, “Climate change has become a serious and widespread issue, affecting all sectors of society. People increasingly need support in learning how to improve their well-being while creating a sustainable environment. BHIRAJ BURI GROUP recognizes the importance of these challenges and aligns its mission with Sireeruckhachati Nature Learning Park in promoting activities that support well-being through research, education, academic service, and experiential learning related to trees, nature, and herbal plants. By fostering creative thinking and sustainability, we aspire for Thailand to develop more spaces and leading institutions dedicated to learning about sustainability, as well as knowledge that promotes the wellbeing of all life. BHIRAJ BURI GROUP, as the area developer, does not limit its goals to merely creating green spaces in specific locations but also aims to establish a lifestyle that is closely connected to nature, ensuring that every home has trees and green spaces that contribute to a sustainable and livable community.”
Mr. Pitiphatr further elaborated on the partnership, saying, “SAMA Garden, located within the 169-rai BITEC BURI area in Bangna, presents a significant opportunity for both public and private sectors to utilize this space to share knowledge and provide guidance to individuals and businesses alike on how to improve quality of life and the environment. This has led to our agreement with Mahidol University, where BHIRAJ BURI GROUP will support Sireeruckhachati Nature Learning Park. Our collaboration will involve the use of SAMA Garden as a venue for knowledge exchange and personnel development to help preserve environmental and natural resources. This effort will promote the sustainable development of people, cities, and the nation while extending traditional wisdom about nature, water, soil, trees, and herbs into global knowledge.”
SAMA Garden is plants to launch its learning activities by early 2025. Visitors can explore eco-friendly products, dine at nature-connected restaurants and cafes, and engage in various activities that promote physical and mental well-being, all within a lush, inspiring atmosphere every day.
SAMA Garden is located within the BITEC Buri project on Theparat Road (Bangna-Trad Km.1) in Bangna, Bangkok. For more details, please visit www.bitecburi.com or follow the project on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/SAMAgardenTH.
