The 11^th ASEAN Rehabilitation Medicine Association (ARMA) Congress, ‘Rising of Rehabilitation Medicine: Collaboration and Inspiration’, will take place in Bangkok, Thailand, between 2^nd and 5^th December 2026. The congress is in conjunction with the 29^th Royal College of Physiatrists of Thailand Congress and the 37^th Thai Rehabilitation Medicine Association (TRMA) Congress. This event will provide the best knowledge and a chance to collaborate and network with our friends in the ASEAN and other regions.

The scientific program this year highlights the diversity of topics, ranging from up–to–date clinical practice to panel discussions, from conventional therapy to modern rehabilitation medicine methods, from clinical trials research to lived demonstrations and hand–on workshops. These are complemented by plenary and keynote lectures from leading experts in their field, parallel education, and panel discussion sessions that are relevant to various clinical conditions. We are pleased to have an oral and poster presentation that will highlight a vast range of research. All oral and poster abstracts will display during the congress and will be published in a congress e–book. In addition to scientific sessions, we encourage all attendees to talk, network and make friends, particularly during the networking gala dinner.

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, is a UNESCO Creative City of Design and one of the best destinations in Asia. This world–renowned Thai hospitality, vibrant culture, cuisine, and heritage will create memorable experiences along with academic exchange. The venue, the Royal Orchid Sheraton Riverside Hotel, is a well–known 5–star hotel that offers world–class services. All 726 guest rooms provide magnificent views of the Chao Phraya River. The venue is conveniently located with easy access to the business district, shopping malls, entertainment, and famous tourist attractions. Shuttle boat service from the hotel pier to the ICONSIAM and Saphan Taksin BTS skytrain is complimentary. The historic vibrant neighborhoods in walking distance of the venue include Talad Noi, Song Wat, Yaowaraj China Town and Charoen Krung. You will enjoy the side trip to an old town with many restaurants and cafes.

We sincerely hope you will be able to join us for the 11^th ARMA Congress, an exceptional congress that will inspire you. On behalf of the organizing committee, we hope to see you in Bangkok in December 2026. Welcome to Thailand.
