Thai Society of Edinburgh (TSE) is an independent organisation of Thais in Edinburgh. It functions as a voluntary based system by different volunteers on selected events in city, intercity, national, and international level. Volunteers devote themselve in different activites by their free time. Among TSE, therefore, there is not any position or rank in it.

In the earlier of 1990s, there were only not more than 7 Thai students in the city. Most of them were medical school students whom very few studied in other subjects. The objectives of TSE in earlier year were to help new Thai comers who came to the city with some useful information about the city and also provided some sports and exercise.

At the present time, TSE comprises about 35 students from three main universities located in the city, Napier University, Heriot-Watt University and The University of Edinburgh. TSE objectives, at the moment, are included such as to built up friendship among friends, and to concern the reputation of Thai. TSE does support activities of Samaggi Samagom, London, and currently gives a consultation to Scottish-Thai Association in Scotland on academical and cultural purposes.

In 1997 K.Bamroong Puangkird, a PhD student in Electrical Engineering, The University of Edinburgh pioneered homepage for Thai students used in general. There was not named as TSE home page in his period.

After K.Bamroong left Edinburgh in late of 1998, K.Songkot Dasananda, a PhD student in Remote Sensing, The University of Edinburgh, has developed his own homepage and named it as TSE homepage which has been widely used among Thai students for many years. Present homepage is continuously developed from K.Songkot's homepage since the end of his study in 2001.

The new version of TSE is edited and updated by K.Nopadol Uchaipichat, a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering, Napier University.
