That the people in Thailand encounter such an unexpected great loss in their life time, our beloved Late HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great has passed away since October 13 of 2016, first of all, we would like to express our gratitude towards all your condolences and sympathy.

Moreover, we can assure all would-be participants of 2016 FAPA Congress, being held in Bangkok BITEC Bangna during November 8-13 of 2016, will definitely experience Thai Hospitality, not to mention the well-defined congressional events.

We can also state that, during your stay in Thailand, all environment conditions, including political and economic aspects, will be unchanged. The country remains stable without any unrest events or activities. You may act and behave as normal/usual. Please feel free. Life in Thailand will proceed and remain as normal.

The only things we may ask you are that please just respect our sorrow and grief. Nothing more. Please enjoy the FAPA Spirit and Traditions as you feel like.

Last but not least, whether some of you do not mind, the  Pharmaceutical Association of Thailand under Royal Patronage will provide you, per request, strips of black ribbon for attaching at you left arm to show your respect. Anyway, it is certainly up to your wills.

We hope to welcome you at the 26th FAPA Congress in BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand, due come.

Regards.

Sindhchai Keokitichai,

President,  Pharmaceutical Association of Thailand under Royal Patronage
