Bhavana Bodhigun Vocational College (BBVC) was established in 2017 in Na Mueang Sub-district, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani Province, Thailand, under the visionary initiative of Suthep Thaugsuban and the Bhavana Bodhigun Foundation.
Recognizing the growing demand for skilled professionals in tourism, hospitality, culinary arts, and modern business on Koh Samui and Southern Thailand, the college was founded to provide 100% free vocational education with full boarding facilities, tuition, meals, and uniforms for students from diverse backgrounds across Thailand.
The curriculum seamlessly integrates specialized vocational training accredited by the Office of the Vocational Education Commission (OVEC) with Buddhist moral ethics, daily mindfulness practice, and bilingual communication in English and Chinese.
