The Thai Community Arts and Cultural Center was founded in 1992, for the purpose of preserving and promoting Thai arts and culture in the United States. The organization is based in Los Angeles, whose population of Thai and Thai-descended people is the largest one of outside of Thailand.

Each year, the organization’s most important project is the Thai Cultural Day Festival. Thai Cultural Day is the only festival in Los Angeles that is dedicated exclusively to the celebration and sharing of the traditional arts of Thailand.
