Welcome Message
President of RCST

Dear Esteemed Members and Distinguished Guests,

It is my distinct privilege to welcome you to the 51 st Annual Scientific Congress of The Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand, held at the Royal Cliff Hotels, Pattaya, Thailand, from July 24 to 26, 2026.

This year, the theme of our meeting is “Toward Best Practices through Collaboration and Integrity”, reflecting our shared commitment to advancing patient care by fostering open dialogue, rigorous inquiry, and ethical practice.

In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, we face a complex paradox: striving for optimal patient care and navigating the allure of cutting-edge technology, all while managing the constraints of today’s economic realities. As we come together from diverse backgrounds and specialties, let us embrace the spirit of collaboration—sharing insights, challenging assumptions, and building partnerships that transcend institutional boundaries.

Through integrity in our research, teaching, and clinical work, let us set the highest standards for ourselves and for the generations that follow. May this meeting inspire new ideas, meaningful connections, and a renewed dedication to excellence in surgery.

Thank you for your dedication to our profession and for being part of this vibrant community. Welcome, and let’s make this a memorable and impactful event!

Welcome Message
Chairman of the Organizing Committee

Dear Colleagues and Honored Guests,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am pleased to invite you to attend the 51 st Annual Scientific Congress of The Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand, jointly organized with the Ministry of Public Health for the tenth consecutive time. The Congress is scheduled to take place from 24–26 July 2026 at the Royal Cliff Hotels Group, Pattaya, Chonburi.

In preparing this year’s Congress, the Organizing Committee has placed particular attention on how participants engage with both the scientific sessions and the exhibition area. The meeting and exhibition layouts have therefore been redesigned to encourage closer engagement with current surgical knowledge and shared clinical experience. Under the theme “Toward Best Practice through Collaboration and Integrity,” the Congress reflects our shared responsibility to improve surgical standards while maintaining quality, safety, and sustainability in everyday practice.

The scientific program has been developed to address current challenges and progress across surgical disciplines. Participants can expect focused updates, practical insights, and discussions on emerging techniques and innovations, presented by experienced surgeons actively involved in clinical practice, education, and research.

Through this Congress, we hope to encourage constructive academic exchange and strengthen professional interaction within the surgical community, contributing to the continued advancement of surgery in Thailand.
