I am pleased to update you on the progress and preparation for the 9th
Congress, Asian-Pacific Association for Laser Medicine & Surgery, and
the 13th Congress, International YAG Laser Society. The APALMS was
organized in 1985, and has been held every two years; while the
International YAG Laser Society was founded in 1983, and this meeting is
held every year. Many of us are members for both societies, and at times,
it has been difficult for us to attend both meetings-- different sites and
dates. However, this year, Thailand is proud to be able to host both
meetings at the same time, and participants will experience the benefit of
the time savings and the exciting synergy from combining the two events. |
The Organizing Committee has already secured dozens of invited
speakers all of whom are recognized for their expertise in their specialties, and
many of whom will fly to the event from countries outside of the Asian-Pacific
region. We are thrilled to prepare for this meeting, and look forward to the
opportunity to
exchange knowledge's and know-how. We are confident all of the attendees
will enhance their skills and knowledge during this meeting in the Asian-Pacific
region. We strongly encourage both junior and senior speakers to submit more
free papers, and we will scrutinize the "quality" of these scientific sessions. |
Pattaya is one of the famous resorts, not far from
Bangkok. Attendees will attend scientific sessions in a relaxing
atmosphere, while the accompanying persons, even children, will enjoy
beautiful sun-shine, white sand, and clean seas, as well as numerous
activities in both the modern and exotic Thai traditional. As you know,
shopping in Thailand provides an opportunity to experience reasonable
prices; these deals are further enhanced from Thailand's recent recession
economy. The Government and Thai citizen of the
whole nation, are eagerly waiting to show you our Thai hospitality and
smiles. |
Please plan to come with your family, and we will do our best
to make your stay most comfortable and memorable. |

Sincerely Yours, |
