BE CONNECTED - Vol. 5, 5 April 2021

News from BeLuThai

Dear Members and Friends of BeLuThai,

On March 30th, the AGM was held. The 2020 year certainly wasn’t what anyone was expecting. 

Your steadfast support, however, has been a great encouragement to the BeLuThai Team and we are determined to bring you a fantastic program in the coming 8 months of 2021. 

The focus for the coming months will be to provide some events for everyone within a safe environment, and with this in mind we have endeavoured to create a calendar of events to suit a wide range of interests of our Members. 

So, whether you want to take part socially, educationally or professionally, we will have something for everyone. 

Please mark your calendar and learn more in this Newsletter about the following events:

May 13-14 : Khon Kaen Business Forum 

May 24 : BeLuThai : Meet – Discover – Eat, your trade event! 

A new Board of Directors was elected, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincerest gratitude to outgoing Board who served from 2019 to 2021. 

After the AGM, Members and many friends came together to celebrate our Past President, Dr. Sutharm Valaisathien. Dr. Sutharm was our Chamber’s President for a decade and Member for 18 years. 

We are delighted to announce that Dr Sutharm has accepted to be our Honorary President and will continue to be of great support to BeLuThai.

Please also make a note that in 2022, BeLuThai will celebrate its 30th Anniversary. You are most welcome to send me any suggestions you may have to mark the occasion.

I look forward to working with our new Board of Directors and hope to each and every one of you at many of our events throughout the year.

Best regards,


Philip Coates

Executive Director
