A word from the President

Let me welcome you to the International Veterans Association and Phuket Veterans. Our website will act as your signpost to either contact the Phuket Veterans (PV), or to find the help that you think you need, first time. This can only be achieved with the hard work and efforts put in by the IVA team, in creating good relations with those who can help our members.

The International Veterans Association (IVA) is set up for military veterans and former members of the emergency services. So, what is the IVA and what do we do?

The 3 pillars of the IVA:

Provide a social and business networking opportunity for members.
Become a ‘Signpost to professional Assistance’ for members.
Develop through training, a Crisis Response Team of PV and other volunteers.

The IVA will not be a stuffy veterans association. You worked hard to earn the title, now it’s time to make use of it. The IVA is an a-political and non-religious organisation, it is primarily a social and networking association with an aim to provide a ‘signpost to professional assistance service, for resident veterans and veteran travelers in need, as they pass through Phuket.

This service would link those in need, to other groups and departments such as the Embassy Consulates and even the Royal British Legion for example, who are set up to handle problems that we as individuals may struggle with.

Members of the IVA can be from any country, and involvement with the IVA requires only as much or as little commitment as the member wishes. The IVA will also be looking for new members to support and even take part in the Crisis Response programs and social events and meetings.

So, if you are interested in hearing more about the IVA, be it the Crisis Response Team, or the social networking meetings, look out for meeting dates and events as they are posted on this site and on our social media.

Thanks again for seeking out the IVA, we could be the members association that you have been looking to join, remember, you have earned it.

What We Do

The IVA Crisis Response Team (CRT)

There have been several times in recent history, where expat volunteers have stepped forward to help in times of emergencies. Volunteers are never hard to find, the difficulty comes with the organisation of the volunteers and when the skills available within the group is not evident.

The IVA CRT will cover the important bases as part of the training, document and update skills of the members. CRT will also be invited to attend Thai Government sponsored crisis response training in Phuket.

The IVA have included a crisis response team as part of the association, it would be a pity if we didnt use the skills that veterans often bring with them, for the good and benefit of others on the island. There are positions for volunteers young and old, so when you join the IVA and if you are interested in volunteering for the CRT, please state what relevant skills you have, even if qualifications have expired.

Ambassadorial Support to the IVA.

The IVA has been lucky to be granted the support of some key members of our community. Without the support of these people, the IVA would have never got off the ground. The IVA President is delighted to announce the International Veterans Association Ambassadors.

Phuket Veterans have initiated an Armistice (Remembrance) day service.
