About the AWC Thailand

The American Women's Club of Thailand is a nonpolitical, not-for-profit group organized in 1955 to support American women in developing friendships and to help expatriates assimilate into the community by providing opportunities for social, cultural and philanthropic endeavors, thus fostering a positive experience living in Thailand and resulting in a positive reflection on American women. Membership is open to any woman living in Thailand, and we welcome all nationalities.
