The Mahidol Campus in Salaya offers ample opportunity for playing sports and maintaining fitness.

The College of Sports Science and Technology has five swimming pools (one Olympic-sized) and a fitness center with weight equipment, sauna and aerobics, available for use by students, staff and the general public.  To use all health, fitness, and exercise equipment, students and staff are required to apply at SS Sports Centre for membership, available for 3 months, 6 months and 1 year.  For price details, please visit the centre’s website at www.ss.mahidol.ac.th or call 0-2441-4296-8 ext. 103. A medical certificate, easily and inexpensively available from any doctor, is required for membership. 

 To use only the swimming pools annual membership costs 200 baht for students and 400 baht for staff, which allows use of the pools for 20 baht per visit. Proper swimming attire and a bathing cap must be worn while swimming.  (Swimming equipment can be purchased at a shop near the pools). 

Additional sport facilities on the campus, which are all free of charge, include a large indoor stadium for basketball, badminton and other indoor sports, four outdoor tennis courts, three large soccer fields, a volleyball court, a pétanque court and a running track. Bookings should be made to reserve the courts and the stadium at the window on the outside wall of the stadium. 

The spacious layout of the campus also allows opportunity for jogging, cycling, football and other forms of outdoor recreation and exercise.  The abundance of natural foliage makes it a very pleasant environment for walking and exploring.
