Affectionately known as “The Land of Smiles”, the Kingdom of Thailand is one of the most fascinating countries in Asia. This reflects on charm and friendly attitude of Thai people. Over the last few decades, Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, has changed into a modern, exciting and sophisticated city. It offers to visitors not only the cosmopolitan amenities they would expect from other big cities, but also a unique treasure trove of cultural attractions. Bangkok offers visitors the opportunity to experience fascinating glimpse of Thailand's gentle culture amidst a great and dynamic metropolis. For visitors, Bangkok has a feast of attractions to offer. The city is dotted with glittering Buddhist temples of great beauty and fascination, magnificent palaces, classical dance extravaganzas, numerous shopping centers and traditional ways of life, especially along the timeless river, the Chao Phraya River, winding through the city.

Several trip options are planned to further stimulate the exchange within the many social events of the TIIM 2009. There will be plenty of time and opportunity to meet and visit with conference participants prior to the end of the conference. The TIIM encourages participants to bring their spouse or guest to the conference to enjoy the social activities that are provided. Multiple networking breaks, two business luncheons and two business dinners, and industrial visits with entertainment are planned to provide you with ample opportunity to meet and visit with conference participants throughout the conference.
