Handbell in Thailand

The handbell is an uncommon musical instrument in Thailand. There are only a few active handbell teams and they are rarely heard and noticed. There is much room for the art form to develop and grow in Thailand.

The Foundation of Thai Handbell Ringers (FTHR) is the first organization in Thailand whose vision is to promote the handbell and its music in Thai society. Right now, we are gathering information about the history of handbell music and development in Thailand for archival purposes. We welcome your contribution to this project. If you have any information regarding this topic, please feel free to contact us at your convenience. Your support is greatly appreciated.
