Tri-Nation Stamp Exhibition (organized by Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia). The idea of this joint stamp exhibition was talked about and conceived in 2010. The first meeting was held at Johannesburg, Africa in November 2011 by representatives from Philatelic Association of Thailand, Association of Singapore Philatelists and Philatelic Society Malaysia to discuss about the general objectives and policy.
The meeting also decided that Thailand would be the first to host TRI-NATION. In 2011, Thailand successfully hosted the first TRI-NATION Stamp Exhibition at Chiangmai International Conference Center from 21 till 23 October 2011. This was followed by Singapore who hosted the second TRI-NATION Stamp Exhibition at National Library from 31 August till 2 September 2012. It was held in conjunction with SINGPEX2012, Singapore National Stamp Exhibition.
