This spirit of friendship and collaboration led to the formal establishment of Sk\u00e5l International in 1934, with Paris as Club No 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across Asia, the movement has grown steadily; today, the associations have 12,500+ members in every major city (300+) in the world. Jakarta, Club No 13, remains the oldest in the region, while Bangkok Club No 153 has become one of its most dynamic and influential chapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monthly networking with impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sk\u00e5l Bangkok hosts its regular meetings on the second Tuesday of each month, except in April, when it is closed due to the national Songkran holiday. These gatherings, a mix of lunches and evening cocktail events, provide a platform for meaningful connections, business development and knowledge exchange among tourism professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-600x450.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264839 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;width:488px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-696x522.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-1068x801.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-560x420.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321-265x198.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2321.jpeg 2016w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A recent lunch event, held at the Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit \u2014\u00a0 President James Thurlby (3rd right) next to Secretary Jennifer Ferris, with Vice President Andrew J Wood (1st left) and Hyatt Regency General Manager Sammy Carolus (2nd left), with club members<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hosted at the renowned Spectrum venue on the 29th floor, the event combined exceptional hospitality with panoramic city views, reinforcing its reputation as one of Bangkok\u2019s premier networking experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hotels frequently use these occasions to showcase new concepts, menus and service innovations.
