Welcome to the Anglo-Thai Society (ATS) and thank you for visiting our website.

The ATS was founded in 1962 to help promote good relations between the UK and Thailand. It currently has around 300 members with an interest in Thailand's people, culture and its business relations.  Throughout the year the society organises various events and activities of interest to our members. The two principal Anglo-Thai Society events each year are the Summer Reception at the House of Lords in June and The Presentation of Educational Awards at the Oriental Club in November.

On Sunday, 15th April, 2012 a traditional Songkran Festival was held at the Bhuddapadipa Thai Temple in Wimbledon. The festivities began with food offerings to the Monks followed by the traditional water pouring over the Buddha image. At 12:00 the food stalls opened for lunch and an array of mouth watering Thai street food was on offer, with favourites like Pad Thai, Som Tam and sweet fried bananas. The crowds were then treated to some delightful traditional Thai dancing and entertainment.  The weather held out, with just a few clouds here and there and apart from the coats, scarves and a few English bobbies, for an hour or two it felt just like being in Thailand!
