Prominent figures including M.R. Sermsri Kasemsri, Dorothy Culver, Khunying Mani Sirivorasarn, Khunying Alma Link and Aimee Lefevre played key roles in its establishment. The formation of the club was strongly encouraged by Mom Ngarmchitr Purachatra, also known as Princess Prem Purachatra, who was then the president of the International Council of Women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1087\" height=\"725\" data-id=\"16361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-edited.jpeg 1087w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-edited-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-edited-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-edited-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1087px) 100vw, 1087px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the leadership of its first president, M.R. Sermsri Kasemsri, the IWC officially launched in 1965 with an initial membership of around 100 women. The club quickly gained recognition as a welcoming community for women of all backgrounds, uniting members through shared interests and charitable causes. Over the years, IWC has grown significantly, now boasting members from over 70 countries. It has become a hub for international women in Thailand, offering social, cultural and philanthropic activities that help members integrate into their new environment while giving back to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"998\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3.jpeg 998w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.koktailmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3-768x547.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the club\u2019s primary missions has always been to support underprivileged women and children.
