The Association of Siamese Architects under Royal Patronage (ASA) was established in 1934 with two fundamental objectives, which are to promote the architectural profession and to encourage sharing and exchanging information among members, and to facilitate its operations, the organizational structure and the bylaws. In addition, ASA provides up-to-date information to members and architects through publications and seminars. The intention is to spread the architectural ideologies and professional services to the general public. There are 3 semi-autonomous chapters located in three regions of Thailand: the North, Northeast, and South. Each of the chapters undertake such activities as an annual regional architectural exhibition, professional and technical seminars, architectural research, recreational events and support professionals in the region.
We are a community of around 10,000 members consisting of registered architects working in Thailand, with the balance of membership made up of Thailand architects working overseas, architectural graduates, architecture students, teachers of architecture and retired architects.
