The Thai Rubber Association (TRA) and Thai Latex Association (TLA) jointly hosted the TRA & TLA Dinner 2026 on May 8, 2026, at the Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld, Bangkok. This yearโ€™s annual event welcomed over 900 distinguished guests, business leaders, and rubber industry stakeholders from both the public and private sectors, hailing from Thailand and abroad. On this occasion, the President of the Thai Rubber Association delivered a welcoming speech to the honored guests, with the key highlights summarized as follows:

The current global situation remains highly uncertain. Geopolitical tensions have posed significant challenges, impacting supply chains and altering the way business is conducted. Consequently, rubber operators must continue to monitor the situation closely. I sincerely hope that global circumstances will improve and that the world will return to peace.

The success of the TRA & TLA Dinner 2026 was made possible through the excellent cooperation of both the public and private sectors, locally and internationally. In particular, I would like to recognize the outstanding collaboration and dedication of the Committee, our members, the organizing committee, and the associationโ€™s staff. On behalf of the Thai Rubber Association, I express my deepest gratitude to everyone and hope that this event will further strengthen the bonds and relationships between rubber producers and consumers moving forward.
