Thai General Insurance Association

What Thai General Insurance Association does

Thai General Insurance Association (สมาคมประกันวินาศภัยไทย, TGIA) is a non-profit trade association that serves as the central coordinating body for all 47 licensed non-life insurance companies operating in Thailand. Formed in 1967 through the merger of the Thai, Chinese, and Foreign Insurance Associations and rebranded to its current name in October 2012, the association operates from a Bangkok headquarters co-located with Central Protection for Vehicle Accident Victims Co., Ltd., and is governed by a 21-member elected management committee under President Dr. Sompon Sueptawinikonkul (2025–2027 term).

The association delivers services through an integrated digital platform portfolio: the TGIA Member Portal and TGIABOOK for member knowledge management; TGIA Academy and the Computer-Based Exam System (tgiaexam.net) for licensing 10+ regional centers; the E-Law Library (elaw.tgia.org) for legal reference; the E-Filing system for the Office of Arbitration (efiling.tgia.org); the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) reporting system for OIC compliance; and the Flood Risk Assessment Mapping (FRAM) tool built with GISTDA for catastrophe risk analytics. Beyond digital infrastructure, TGIA runs eight advisory committees covering property, motor, marine & logistics, accident & health, miscellaneous insurance, business development, accounting & finance, and law & regulations, and publishes an annual Insurance Journal, monthly newsletters, e-books, and infographics.

TGIA's revenue model is non-profit and subscription-style: annual membership fees from the 47 licensed non-life insurers form the primary base, supplemented by pay-as-you-go licensing exam fees, training program fees (IMDP, IPSP, IFRS 17), and publication sales. Go-to-market is conducted through direct member engagement, regional examination centers, public awareness campaigns (notably the UNDP co-sponsored motorcycle safety initiative), and conference partnerships (InsureX Forum, Asian Captive Conference, InsurInnovator Connect Asia). TGIA also acts as the official liaison to the Office of Insurance Commission (คปภ.) and international bodies such as AM Best and Fitch Ratings, making it a quasi-regulatory infrastructure layer for Thailand's non-life insurance industry.
