The Mess Hall
The Royal Thai Naval Academy
was established more than 100 years ago. There are many interesting
places in the Academy. The place we think is important for cadets
is the Mess Hall because it is the place we use to eat every
day. We are using it three times a day. Cadets are served breakfast, lunch and dinner six days a week.
In total we are using it at least fifteen times per week.
The mess hall is located in the battalion which occupies 1600 sq. meters, is 4 meters high, and can be easily filled with more than 500 persons at a time. The mess hall serves as a place to have meals, and also a meeting place for all cadets, guests and tourists.
Food is prepared on the seven gas stoves and in microwave ovens. Gas cylinders are changed by a mechanic with strict adherence to safety rules, valves are checked on a regular basis. The chief mechanic is responsible for fire safety of the mess hall. Dishes and cups are earthenware and glass, and cutlery is stainless steel.
The personnel on duty is responsible for cleaning the mess hall, which includes washing the floor, cleaning and washing dishes, washing down all surfaces and taking out garbage and refuse to a specially designated area.
Dishes are washed by personnel on duty. Dish soap, baking soda and mustard are used for cleaning. This is done in hot water, changing the water three times, and with consequent rinsing. Waste matter is taken out by personnel on duty.
