Dear all, some of you asked about possible hotels and meeting location. A map of the area is enclosed. From downtown area (Silom Road) where my hotel is situated you can reach the place as follows (information by Chutiporn Anutariya <chutiporn@shinawatra.ac.th> who can be contacted for further details): --- From Silom, you can either take a SkyTrain or a subway to a station close to the conference venue: SkyTrain: - Take a skytrain from Sala Daeng Station to Mo Chit Station. Then, take a taxi. Subway: - Take a subway from Silom Station to Phahon Yothin Station and exit at gate 1. From there, it is possible to walk but I'd suggest you to take a taxi (at least on the first day). I think in total, it could take around 40 minutes for either way. Taking a taxi directly from Silom may take longer time (up to an hour or more) as the traffic in Bangkok is always bad especially on week days. ---- Hotels: Please check the INTELLCOMM pages <http://intellcomm2004.ait.ac.th/>. Three hotels are recommended: - Sogitel Central Plaza - Rama Gardens Hotel - Chaophya Park Hotel (they are relatively near to the meeting and to the conference location but rather far from the real city centre where I prefer to stay). Best regards Otto
