From the President's DeskA reminder that our next Expat Connection Meeting is this coming Saturday. See who is speaking further on in this newsletter. To register, please click this button: Note: Please bring your ticket with the QR code on it to the meeting. The surveys we have been conducting have given the Club a good idea about the way forward for presentations at our meetings. The Medical Survey was a great success and it is very helpful to the team of helpers to know your thoughts. The survey is still open if you want to add your ideas. Thank you to all who participated in our recent medical presentation survey! The top topics members are
most interested in include 'aging well, navigating the Thai healthcare system, nutrition, and preventive wellness'. Members prefer informative, interactive sessions with practical tips and real-life examples. These insights will help us shape future Expat Connection meetings to better reflect your priorities and ensure engaging, relevant content. Stay tuned for upcoming health-focused sessions based directly on your feedback! We will be conducting more surveys so please spend
a few moments each time completeing the surveys to help us provide what you want. Enjoy this coming week in the great city of Chiang Maii Robert Brake |
The Club's Website, and other AI developments.Much work has been done this last week amalagamating our membership lists together using AI which has made the work much simpler. It holds exciting prospects for the future of the Club. The work on the website contiues a pace and a draft of the new Expat Resourse Management Guide has been produced as has a draft of the way that the Sponsors are presented.

A new survey to identify what members want for a Christmas CelibrationIt may appear strange to be asking you for your input into a proposed Christmas Celibration so early in the year but most restaurents are already getting booked.

moments completing the survey link below to help us provide what members want.

Colorectal Cancer Screening: Early Detection Can Save Your Life Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Similar to all cancers, early stage colorectal cancer is curable, but usually asymptomatic. Most patients do not realize they have cancer. The good news is that regular screening can detect pre-cancerous polyps or cancer at an early, highly
treatable stage. Screening methods like the stool test or colonoscopy are safe, effective, and could mean the difference between a full recovery and late-stage treatment. Don’t wait for symptoms early screening could save your life. 📦 Colorectal Cancer Screening Program • ✅Fit test • ✅Stool DNA Methylation Test for Colorectal Cancer • ✅Optional Colonoscopy (special rate if further investigation is needed) Starts from only 28,000 THB •
