Thailand Southern Seaboard Council supports builiding positive relationships between our community and US Navy ships, their officers & crew members making port-of-call visits to Phuket.
We actively support COMSERV more details outreach community service projects whereby US Navy personnel work directly with our local community.
On months that we are not hosting visiting ships we will usually hold a regular membership networking meeting that visitors are welcome to attend. We will usually ask for a small donation at the entrance to cover a complementary drink and snacks. At some of our meetings we will introduce special guests that will speak on a topic of interest.
On occasion we are able to arrange tours of visiting ships. Contact us or visit us at one of our meetings and learn more.
