Our Organisation

Makhampom has been variously described as a family, a kindergarten, a university, a community, a food centre, oh, and a theatre group. In essence it is a social organization that works in the medium of theatre. From inception, Makhampom has had a folk character, reflected in the sense of family, a playfulness, and a Makhampom lifestyle. As a group, generated by and generating volunteers, it is the love of the group and the love for the work that has seen generation after generation of volunteer sustain the organization.

Bangkok has traditionally been the home of Makhampom, but the notion of a countryside base has been long in the dreams. Chiang Dao, as this place, has been prepared since 1999 as the rural centre to compliment the Bangkok home. This development accompanies the restructuring of the group as it becomes a Foundation. A theatre venue in the Banglampoo district of Bangkok is being prepared and programs are being consolidated as Makhampom comes of age (we hope) rather than ages wearily.
