On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to express my appreciation for the efforts of all the many people and organizations who have contributed to this event.
This conference is a part of the celebration of the auspicious 60th Birth Anniversary of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, who is one of the true lovers of flowers.
Deep gratitude and recognition must also be given to the Museum of Floral Culture, the Royal Traditional Thai Crafts School for Women, and the Jim Thompson Company for their generous support given to this event.
Finally, sincere appreciation is extended to all the scholars who have graciously accepted to share their wisdom in this venue. Their contribution is a genuine reflection of the success of this auspicious conference.
