Loking forward to hearing from you. Thailand thaiastro Thank you for your interest in the Society. The Thai Astronomical Society was set up in 1972 by a group of astronomers and professionals working in astronomy field in Thailand. Since then it has grown to serve the general public who are interested in astronomy, its membership comprising largely amateurs and enthusiasts. Most activities are conducted in Bangkok, except star parties which take place upcountry, often at a monastery near Khao Yai National Park, but we also go as far as Chiangmai.
All activities are in Thai.
We respond to requests from schools or other groups for astronomy speakers or guides. Other projects the society are involved in are book publishing projects and a training course in January 2001 organised by International Astronomical Union and Chiangmai University. Members of the Society vary in their approach to and sophistication in astronomy. Some members are interested in astrophotography as you may have seen from our website. We would be very glad to receive your pictures for posting in our site.
