Trans Action Refuge

Trans Action Refuge is a non-governmental organisation based in Chiang Mai, Thailand working on lgbtq+, refugees & migration.

Trans Action Refuge (T.A.R.) is a trans and queer-led not-for-profit based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It helps trans people seeking safety relocate, offering pre-move information and one-to-one calls, airport pickups, help finding accommodation, visa and daily-life guidance, and a community through monthly meet-ups and a group chat. Its work is run by volunteer Helpers and a small core team, with a focus on trauma-informed practice and integration into Thai culture and society. The organisation supports people relocating from the United States and other countries where trans people face increasing hostility.
