Former name & logo.

Wikimedia Thailand is a recognised Wikimedia chapter in the country. We has organised a number of outreach activities to promote the creation and access to free knowledge in collaboration with both local and international partners including the Wikimedia Foundation.

It was founded in 2008 as a user group and approved as a Wikimedia chapter in 2019. Our stated aims are to support creation, development and maintenance of Thai Wikimedia projects, to conduct supportive roles in aforementioned activities, as well as to promote public knowledge. Wikimedia Thailand will be incorporated as an association according to Thai law by the end of 2019.

About

Timeline

The user group has existed since 2008. We had serious discussions and plans on outreach activities after Wikimania 2011. The plan was slowed down by the great flood but we have regained our momentum again in 2013. We have successfully launched WLM-TH 2013 and secured some collaboration/support from various partners. We had grown significantly between 2013 and 2018 in terms of activities and people involved until we applied for recognition as a Wikimedia Chapter in January 2019. The WMF approved it in June 2019.

See detailed information at our timeline.
