On behalf of the Congress Committee, it is such a great pleasure and honour to extend my cordial invitation to you to the 13th Asian Pacific Society of Respirology Congress (APSR 2008) which will be held during 19th – 22nd November 2008 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand.

At this moment, the Congress Committee has enthusiastically begun to plan all works concerned with the Congress. For the next year Congress, there are many respiratory topics, for instance, tropical lung disease, emerging respiratory infections, sleep-disordered breathing and interventional pulmonology.

Therefore, we would like to ensure you that Thailand is ready in every way required for holding this Congress. Facilities and services are guaranteed as world-class standard, together with many exotic tourist attractions representing Thailand’s history and unique culture which will certainly please you throughout your stay. We also highly expect to obtain kind support from you and anticipate that, apart from knowledge and trend of medical improvement from the programme, everyone will receive warm welcome of Thai people, enjoy staying in Thailand and keep this Congress as one of your great experiences in your memory.

Professor Arth Nana
Congress President
