INTRODUCTION Thailand or Prathet Thai when translated directly means the “Land of the Free”; this country which is still a constitutional monarchy, has the distinction among Southeast Asian countries of neither being colonized, nor has suffered civil war & racial conflicts. The signature traits of independence & pride in their identity contrast yet blend perfectly with the peace-loving & generous nature culled from her longstanding Buddhist heritage. The contrastingly melding energies seem to reflect not only on her people, her government, but also in the geographical conditions of her lands. Within a mere 513, 115 sq km of area, there are forested mountains with deep valleys sliced by fast-flowing rivers; the lush central basin of rich fertile soil fed by extensive waterways laying side by side with vast stretches of barren land cursed with weak soil & enigmatic weather conditions. Get ready to meld in the diversities of mental contrasts in the capital of the Kingdom of Freedom, Bangkok on 30 July – 4 August 2007.
