The Skal movement in Thailand started in 1956 when a group of leaders in the
tourism industry got together to establish the SKAL Club of Bangkok. The club was so
successful that it led soon after to the formation of the SKAL Club of Pattaya and the
SKAL Club of Chiangmai.
To coordinate SKAL activities, increase awareness of the movements, and expand
coverage, the three clubs later joined forces to establish the SKAL National
Committee for Thailand. The efforts of the National Committee resulted in the
formation of the SKAL Club of Phuket and the SKAL Club of Songkhla/Hadyai
and increased participation in SKAL international events, such as the Asian area
assemblies and the SKAL World Congresses.
At this time there are 6 Clubs in Thailand: SKAL International Bangkok, SKAL
International Chiang Mai & North Thailand, SKAL International Koh Samui, SKAL
International Pattaya & East Thailand, SKAL International Phuket and SKAL
International Hua Hin. You can see complete contact information for each of the clubs
in the Thailand Clubs section of this site and there are links to each of the clubs’
websites to the left.
The SKAL clubs in Thailand are all healthy and growing and total in-country
membership is now over 400. If you are a hospitality industry professional working in
any of our club areas you can find out about membership information from any of the
clubs’ officers. You can also download the membership application and SKAL statutes
from the links at the left which are PDF files.
All the members of SKAL in Thailand wish you the best in your hospitality career and
we urge you to consider becoming a member of the largest hospitality organization
in the world: over 20,000 members in 500 clubs located in 90 countries. Become a
member and enjoy all the benefits that SKAL has to offer.
Best regards,
