Announcement on the Adjustment of Annual Membership Fees

The Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association (TGJTA) has been continuously providing services and organizing activities for its members for over 50 years, with a steadfast mission to support and promote the sustainable growth of Thailand’s gem and jewelry industry through knowledge development, network connection, and representation in collaboration with both public and private sectors.

For nearly 30 years, the Association has maintained its annual membership fee at THB 4,000, despite the continuous rise in economic conditions and living costs. To ensure that the Association can continue maintaining service quality and operational efficiency, TGJTA will adjust the annual membership fee as follows:

    Must pay the annual membership fee plus a late payment fee of THB 1,000.

  • Grace period for fee adjustment (January 1 – March 31 each year)
    To support members during the transition period, until March 31, 2026, members with outstanding fees (prior to 2026) are allowed to pay past dues at the old rate of THB 4,000 per year, and the 2026 membership fee at the new rate of THB 5,500, with the late payment fee waived.
