Previously known as \u201cJapan-Siam Association\u201d, TJA\u2019s membership now consists of more than 2,150 members both corporate and individuals. A leading role for Thai-Japanese Association is to sustain and strengthen business and social relationships between Thai and Japanese investors as well as people of the two countries. Recognizing the importance of social-business relation and cultural contact to develop good relationship among Thai and Japanese, TJA\u2019s operation, thus, is categorized into 4 activities: economic, social, education and Japanese village. TJA previous activities includes meetings and sharing information on Thailand political and economic issues to members from both Thailand and Japan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With respect to the increasing demand for Internet-based communication, TJA starts launching TJA homepage for both Thai and English version in order to serve our members as well as public interests on TJA activities. Our next step is to expand our content and information to best reflect the needs of Thai and Japanese business environment and relation in Thailand. Hopefully, the TJA homepage will be a useful business resource for sustaining business and investment partnership between Thailand and Japan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"399\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4.png?w=399\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1408\" style=\"width:230px;height:291px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4.png 399w, https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-238x300.png 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mr. Kalin Sarasin<br>President Thai-Japanese Association<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Thai-Japanese Association has been founded in Thail [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page.php","meta":{"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-939","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/939"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=939"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4532,"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/939\/revisions\/4532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thai-japanasso.or.th\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
