Perhaps you have a niche curiosity for the 1992 border dispute with Myanmar? We definitely don't want to interrupt your last two weeks of fierce studying (or suffering).

However, if you're interested in an intellectually stimulating event on U.S.-Thai foreign relations during the reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, we'd love to you have join us tomorrow, Wednesday, December 6th from 3:30-5PM.

We'll be collaborating with ASEAN Studies Initiative in SIS to bring Assistant Professor Dr. M.L.Pinitbhand Paribatra, former Director of the International Program at the Faculty of Political Science, Thammasat University, Thailand's second oldest institute of higher education. He'll be discussing topics mentioned above and so much more!
