These morning sessions provide an opportunity to learn and discuss diverse topics in small groups lead by guest speakers. Some of the speakers may be drawn from the NMV membership, previous lecturers or study group participants. They may also be other Bangkok residents, authors, collectors or visitors to Thailand supporting NMV activities. All show a particular passion for their topic of interest and are willing to share their knowledge with our members and friends. We like to invite these people to speak to us in a more intimate setting than is possible with a lecture or an excursion. Typically, an ‘At Home’ will be a small informal meeting with morning tea and a speaker. Attendance will be limited to about 15 - 20 people and sessions will take place once per month. Locations will vary as some speakers may prefer to present their collections or share their stories and photos in their own homes – hence the name!

Topic Suggestions? This year we have had talks on Burmese Laquerware; Collecting Thai handicrafts; Women in Thai Buddhism; A Pilgrimage to Tibet; Indonesian Textiles; and we have more ideas to come! We are very keen to hear about your suggestions for potential speakers, topics you’d like to learn about and any other ideas for ‘At Homes’ activities. Do you know someone who could introduce us to a something new and interesting in Thai or Asian culture? for example: Thai sacred tattoos; unique festivals or even how to make Malai offerings. Please email: NMVAtHomes@gmail.com with your comments or ideas. We look forward to seeing you at the next At Home presentation.
