14th International Conference on Thai Studies “Thailand at a Global Turning Point“ December 10 \u2013 12, 2021 in Kyoto, JapanPostponed to April 29 – May 1, 2022at Kyoto Terrsa JP The 14th International Conference on Thai Studies “Thailand at a Global Turning Point” On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 14th International Conference on Thai Studies (ICTS14), it is my pleasure to welcome all participants to Kyoto. ICTS14 is taking place at a time of unprecedented challenges not only for Thailand but for the entire world. More than ever before, we are made aware of the porosity of borders, the inextricable connectedness of the world\u2019s population, environment, economy, and politics. Since early 2020, the pandemic has affected our societies from the details of our everyday lives and well-being to the larger world systems. Around the world, new modes of behavior, and new systems of public health, communication, economy, governance, culture etc. are being sought. As academics, we are faced with a grave challenge towards new paradigms for understanding the situation as well as shaping the future. In Thailand, the economy has been staggering due to middle-income trap. Economic inequalities are growing, leaving a negative impact on society and politics. Politics has been severely polarized and its arena is narrowing. Deepening interactions with neighboring countries have increased mobility of people. It is time for us to think earnestly for a better and happier future for Thailand. The conference aims to encourage Thai and international scholars to reflect upon Thai society, politics, economics, culture, and environment in the context of a global turning point that concerns relationships within and beyond Thai border. The conference will review and analyze issues in Thai society, including problems and conflicts arising from the current situation. At the same time, the conference will allow scholars to explore the state of knowledge in Thai Studies and identify gaps in the knowledge base that should be filled. We hope that ICTS14 will be an opportunity for all participants, from across many disciplines, national perspectives and varied viewpoints to gather to discuss the issues to look earnestly into Thailand\u2019s future. We look forward to your participation and input. This time, ICTS is held in Japan for the first time. It will be a great opportunity to reflect on the historical ties as well as the deep and varied connection between Thailand and Japan, as well as the width and depth of academic exchange between the two countries. We hope that you enjoy your stay in Kyoto, and that you enjoy the opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones..

At ICTS13, for example, the student early bird rate was 2500 (80USD) and the student regular registration was 3500 (110), while ASEAN non-student participation was 4000 (125) for early bird and 6000 (190) for regular registration. At ICTS12 in Sydney, they had a range of registration fees from super early bird to regular, varying from 150 to 250 AUD for students and from 300 to 400 AUD for non-students. Considering the cost of living in Kyoto, our rates will be similar to the ones in Sydney if not slightly higher.
