Message from the President

     Color Society of Thailand (CST) was re-organized and re-named in 2021 from the former one, “Color Group of Thailand (CGT)”, that has been officially founded in 2001. CST gradually resumes activites by providing a platform to motivate color research and by distributing knowledge in all fields related to color. CST organizes courses, workshops and symposium (conferences). Collaborations with color expertise and organizations both national and international are welcomed in order to contribute to the development in various fields related to color. If you are passionate about color and color-related subjects, you’re welcome to join our society.

History

Color Society of Thailand is a group of academics, researchers, and people interested in the fields of color such as color science, technology, social sciences, art, architecture, and applications. In addition, the Color Society of Thailand is also an ordinary member of the International Color Organization. (International Color Association) on behalf of Thailand.

The beginning of the Color Society of Thailand dates back to 2001 in the name of “The Color Group of Thailand” with Professor Phichanthira Piyakunakorn as the group president. Thailand presented to be a host of International Color Academic Conference to enhance color research and publicize Thailand to be accepted from abroad. Therefore, it is necessary to apply to be an ordinary member of the international color organization on behalf of the organization representing Thailand. This is the beginning of the Color Society of Thailand. After another 2 years, Thailand has hosted the international color conference “The Midterm Meeting of International Color Association; AIC2003 Bangkok” led by Associate Professor Dr. Aran Hansuebsai, who later took over as the group’s chairman. The international color conference is organized on a rotational basis to member countries around the world and is circulating back to Thailand again in the year 2023 in Chiang Rai on the occasion of the 20th anniversary. This is a great opportunity for academics, researchers, students, and people interested in color to meet and exchange with academics and researchers from abroad. The event also helps to stimulate the tourism sector of Thailand in another way.

In 2020, the Colour Group of Thailand changed its name to “Color Society of Thailand” under the leadership of Associate Professor Dr. Pitchayada Ketemek to reshape the organization and expand the member base to become a more expansive learning community in color science. From the day when the Thai color group was founded, the members have started various activities. We hope that it will create a learning community, continue to be a platform that inspires and supports academic development and research in the field of color as well as be a channel for exchanging knowledge with various sciences related. We set resolutions to be a small cog that drives various sectors of the country to have advancement to those of other civilized countries
