★BMI Challenge 2027 by the Division of Building and Facilities, University of Phayao: “Walk–Run Through the Cool Season and Enjoy the Mexican Sunflowers”

                   On November 12, 2026, from 4:00 to 4:45 PM, the Division of Building and Facilities, University of Phayao, held its BMI Challenge 2027 for fiscal year 2027. Led by the Division Director and section heads, personnel took part in a walk–run around Ang Luang, a loop of about 1.9 kilometers. The event aimed to encourage personnel to take care of their health and exercise regularly, while strengthening relationships and positive energy among colleagues.

                    The event was about more than exercise. It gave personnel time together in the refreshing atmosphere of the late rainy season turning to the cool season, and a chance to admire more than 5,000 Mexican sunflowers (known locally as Bua Tong) in full bloom. The flowers added color to the walk–run and filled it with smiles and lasting impressions. Participants moved their bodies, breathed fresh air, and stopped to take photos, collecting memories and friendships along the way.

                     The event reflects the “Happy Workplace, Happy Body” concept, which aims to create a workplace where personnel are happy, healthy, and on good terms with their coworkers. It also reflects the idea of “Societal Well-being,” which begins with building well-being among the people inside the organization, who are key to driving the university’s mission. In addition, it supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being). The Division is committed to making health care part of its organizational culture by continually providing spaces and opportunities for personnel to exercise and do activities together, for a better quality of life and a happy organization in the long term.
