About Thailand |
|
Thailand is a country of scenic diversity and ancient traditions,
of tranquil temples and modern urban excitement. With and
independent history going back more than seven centuries,
it has managed to absorb a variety of cultural influences and
blend them into something uniquely and memorably Thai.
Each of its four major region offers a distinctive experience
for the traveler in search of discovery. Misty mountains in the
north shelter verdant valleys and exotic hill tribes, while in
centers like Chiang Mai traditional customs and crafts have
been preserved over generations. Along the picturesque
coastlines of the east and south lie some of the world's most
beautiful beaches and off-shore islands, each with its own
beauty. In the northwest of the region is Kanchanaburi, whose
forested mountains, waterfalls and caves, national parks and
wildlife sanctuaries on the border with Myanmar provide some
of Thailand’s most enthralling scenery.
In the Central Region can be found the evocative ruins of
ancient Thai capitals and bustling Bangkok with its dynamic
and countless pleasures.
Thai food is known for its enthusiastic use of fresh
herbs and spices as well as fish sauce which is popular in many
western countries. |

Message from the President |
|
It is both an honor and a pleasure to invite you to the
9th International Congress of Tropical Pediatrics (9 ICTP)
in Thailand, a country that is unique in so many ways.
The focus of this Congress is to increase “Global Partnerships
and Networking for Child Health”. What could be more
important than the health and future of a child? Our children
need health and hope, and our world needs a healthy and
productive population. By working together we can make the
world a better place for our children, and for all of us. Besides
a successful, enjoyable and fruitful scientific meeting, I hope
you will find time to explore and enjoy the hospitality of
Thailand, the “Land of Smiles”.
