A requirement under Thai law. Ex pat groups should be registered as a non profit organisation, many are also fund raising for local charities

Again, some kind of source would be good.

For a short time I was on the board of an expat group in Pattaya, but as an example:

http://www.expatexchange.com/advice/74/2406/108/Thailand/Info-about-Bangkok

That describes a group, but it doesn't describe the registration requirements nor with whom you are supposed to register. It just says that they are "in the process".....

Be assured there are compliance requirements, cannot recall the detail. If you really want to the know the detail of Thai legal requirements and process contact one of the ex pat clubs.

The question was answered in Post No. 22. The Thai legal requirements for expat Rotary club aren't any different than for a Thai Rotary club. Ditto a expat bridge club vs. a Thai bridge club. The key difference is if the expats expend any work where they'd need a work permit, in which case they can apply for a temporary work permit for a short-term project.

These groups have bank accounts and having been involved in both mostly-Thai and mostly-expat groups, I can't see any difference in the way the banks treat the groups or the filing and legal requirements.

Simple1 is right. If you have concerns about a specific expat club or group, then contact the board or committee of that club and ask.

Thanks nancy for a clear and concise answer in lieu of some of the freak shows that were posted below

Oh , so you want to join the Rotary Club, simple.

Actually it's very simple, type into Google something like "Chiang Mai Rotary Club" , you would probably get a result something like this...

Are you sure that's what you're looking for? Based on your original request I would say No.

If it's a question, then put a ? at the end of the sentence... We don't know if you are making a statement or asking a question...
