All athletes MUST have an active Thai Powerlifting Federation membership in order to compete in our sanctioned competitions. The cost is 1500 THB per year.

Open enrollment for each year begins December 1 of the prior year, and all memberships are valid from January 1 to December 31 of the year purchased and all sales are final (and no refunds will be given). It’s highly recommended to purchase your membership as early in the year as possible. 

All Membership Cards are delivered via email immediately after bank transfer. Make sure to add [email protected] to your email contacts. Always bring and present your membership card, whether via attachment or printout, to each and every competition in order to compete in TPF sanctioned competitions.
