A very brief history of the Thailand AA Roundup
The Thailand AA Roundup is a gathering of Alcoholics sharing their Experience, Strength and Hope in recovery. Marathon meetings, workshops, speaker meetings, and a banquet dinner provide a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy a weekend with sober friends. The Thailand AA Roundup was held annually for 25 years before being cancelled in 2021 and 2022 because of COVID travel restrictions. The Roundup resumed in 2023 and has continued annually ever since.
The Roundup is an opportunity for all to forge new relationships in recovery. We have attendees from all over the world.
Is a Roundup a part of AA?
A Roundup could be considered a big AA meeting. So, the Roundup is a part of AA like any AA meeting is a part of AA. There are weekly meetings, daily meetings, and even a few monthly AA meetings, so a Roundup is like a big annual open meeting of AA.
If it's an AA meeting, why isn't it free?
We are self-supporting through our own contributions. The cost of the roundup pays for the venue, materials, and main speaker expenses. Any excess funds will be saved for the next year’s event.
Does AA World Services support AA roundups?
AA roundups and conventions are a normal part of AA life. They are held all over the world. AA World Services provides the guidelines for holding roundups and conventions.
This AA Roundup is similar to any other Roundup except it is held in Thailand.
