Education and language education and in Thailand
Bangkok Post – Oct 23, 2007
It was the first chapter in Southeast Asia. Today Toastmasters International is in 90 countries and has over 200000 members. There are approximately 19 Toastmasters clubs throughout Thailand. Active membership ranges from 10-40 members per club. All club business and speeches are conducted in English. There is also a chapter in Bangkok that conducts its meetings and presentations in Thai and foreigners are invited to improve their formal presentations in Thai. All chapters share the common goal of improving communication skills through public and impromptu speaking… It usually does not matter if you are a native English speaker or a Thai citizen. University students and other groups are also welcome to set up their own chapters by arrangement. The main Bangkok branch (#2010) meets every Monday from 6:15PM to 8PM at the Indra Regent Hotel on the third floor in the Sapphire room. There is an initial 3300 baht membership fee. After that dues are assessed at 1800 baht every six months. Anyone is welcome to attend a few sessions for free to observe how meetings are arranged. Nobody escapes a Toastmasters meeting without facing their fear of public speaking so don’t be surprised if you’re asked to participate with an impromptu two-minute speech even on your first visit!
