The 2nd Infantry Division (Royal Guard) is stationed at Phrommayothi Camp, Ban Phra Subdistrict, Mueang District, Prachinburi Province. The unit has been granted royal permission to serve as a royal guard unit, providing security for the monarch and the royal family alongside national security missions. Parts of the camp are open to the public for learning and for well-managed, safe activities.

 

The 2nd Infantry Division was founded in 1950 and moved to Phrommayothi Camp in 1974. The camp environment is clean and orderly in the military style, lined with trees and broad lawns—ideal for outdoor activities. The training areas, memorials, and museum also reflect the discipline and way of life of soldiers.

 

Phrommayothi Camp stands out for public-friendly activities: a 9-hole, par-36 golf course open to general players (contact in advance to confirm time slots and entry rules); a Horse Riding Club offering morning riding for health and equine-assisted activities; and a shooting range operating in the late afternoon under strict safety supervision. The camp also features a sports center, a museum and monuments to the brave, plus Buddhist sites and a meditation park for quiet reflection.

 

Entry guidelines: visitors should dress respectfully, bring an ID card to exchange at the gate, follow posted signs and staff instructions, avoid drone use or photographing restricted areas marked “prohibited,” and always observe camp safety rules.

 

Getting There: From downtown Prachinburi, take Suwannasorn Road (Highway 33) for about 5 km to the camp. From Bangkok, driving takes around 2 hours. By train, travel to Prachinburi Railway Station and continue by songthaew or taxi to the camp. Local songthaews/taxis operate within the city.

 

Suggested 1-Day Plan: Morning horse riding in the cool air; late morning visit to monuments and the museum to learn the unit’s history; afternoon golf round or supervised shooting practice; evening stroll in the meditation park to unwind before heading back.

 

The essence of visiting a military camp is respect for rules, order, and safety. Activities run on set schedules, staff guide each step, and visitor cooperation is expected so everyone enjoys a good experience while learning about the role of a royal guard unit standing alongside nation and monarchy.
