The Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST) (in Thai, สมาคมวิทยุสมัครเล่นแห่งประเทศไทย) is a national non-profit organization for amateur radio enthusiasts in Thailand. The organization is founded under the royal patronage of the King of Thailand, and qualifies as a charitable entity pursuant to a Thai Ministry of Finance declaration.[Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (2008). [http://www.qsl.net/rast/ Amateur Radio Society of Thailand] official web site. Retrieved Aug. 4, 2008.] The organization was founded on August 22, 1963 by a group of amateur radio operators who met at a restaurant in Bangkok. Among the first orders of business was to address official objections to the communications of radio amateurs in Thailand with amateur radio operators in other countries.][Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (2008). [http://www.qsl.net/rast/text/a-proceeding.html "Proceedings of the Society"] . Retrieved Aug. 4, 2008.] The RAST represents the interests of Thai amateur radio operators and shortwave listeners before Thai and international telecommunications regulatory authorities. RAST is the national member society representing Thailand in the International Amateur Radio Union.][International Amateur Radio Union (2008). [http://www.iaru.org/iaru-soc.html "Member Societies"] .
