    I got some e-mails concerning the Thai Professional conference. The
following is one of them.

    Yes !

    In this case, I suggest that you contact Khun Sirithun, the office
science and technology counsellor(OSTC).  I believe that OSTC is trying
very hard to inform Thai people here about S&T situation in Thailand. 
The budget for holding this conference is limited and most of Thai
peofessionals in USA who plan to attend the conference, voluntarily
share the expenses.  OSTC can use the money left over for your case.
