Dear Esteemed Guests and Participants,

We are delighted to welcome you to the first AsiaPATH conference, marking a significant milestone as we gather for our first physical meeting post-COVID. Your presence here reflects our shared commitment to advancing the care and welfare of transgender individuals across Asia.

We extend our deepest appreciation to our dedicated council members, ThaiPATH and all related parties whose tireless efforts over the past three years have made this event possible. A special acknowledgment goes to Professor Preecha Tiewtranon, our founding President of AsiaPATH, whose vision and leadership have been instrumental in bringing us together today.

Transgender individuals in Asia have historically faced numerous challenges due to diverse cultural norms, rituals, and taboos. These factors often lead to significant barriers in accessing professional healthcare, resulting in severe mental health disturbances and a diminished quality of life.

In contrast to the West, we have yet to establish a systematic healthcare and welfare model tailored specifically for transgender individuals in our region. This conference provides an invaluable opportunity for us to come together, discuss, and devise effective strategies for improving clinical care, advancing research, and establishing Standards of Care that can truly benefit our transgender communities.

This gathering also serves as an important platform for members of the trans community to connect, share their experiences, and exchange ideas and challenges.

We look forward to your participation and contributions, and hope to see each of you at the conference as we strive for a brighter and more equitable future for all.

Thank you.

Dr. Mak Kai Lok

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure and honor to warmly welcome all participants, colleagues, and guests to the First AsiaPATH On-site Conference 2026, the very first on-site AsiaPATH conference to be held in Asia. The conference will take place from September 30 to October 2, 2026, in Bangkok, Thailand.

This special event brings together distinguished speakers, experts and participants from around the world to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and discuss the latest advancements in transgender healthcare and related fields. The scientific program will cover a wide range of topics, including surgical techniques, physical and psychological care, social support, and quality of life issues.

We truly believe that all attendees will gain valuable knowledge, meaningful insights, professional inspiration, and the opportunity to build friendships and networks within the transgender community and multidisciplinary professional fields.

In addition to the academic program, the Organizing Committee is delighted to arrange a memorable Dinner Cruise along the Chao Phraya River, where participants can enjoy the beautiful nighttime scenery of Bangkok and experience the warm hospitality of Thailand.

We sincerely invite you to join us for this remarkable conference — an event you should not miss. We look forward to welcoming you to Bangkok, Thailand, and sharing this unforgettable experience together.
