Off to Sukhothai
A visit to Thailand’s ancient capital Sukhothai is always a trip worthwhile. No matter how often you visit, each time you discover something new to behold.

As a dear friend we also welcomed Ms. Lorna Mead, Past President of the Federation of the Southwest Pacific. After the successful conference in Chiang Rai in June, Lorna enjoyed the Bangkok friends again.
Farewell and Welcome
It came as a surprise to everyone when Angelika Franzen announced that, after more than six years in the 'Land of Smiles', she would return to her native Germany. Only an 'official' SI Dusit-Member since last fall, Angelika contributed right from the beginning, and was instrumental in setting up our website. Of course we only let her go with the promise - and promise she did - that she will continue to take care of the updates, and stay in touch (...how can I not to?).
