３３３３ Some Experiences I had in ASEAN(1) International Cooperation; Do they really

benefit for the people of the country?

(2) Cooperation for fire defense in Thailand; what cooperation should be.

(3) Mutual understanding is very difficult in different administration systems; My experiences in LAO PDR.

(4)Brunei has begun to turn her eyes to people’s welfare.

(5)Agriculture and manufacture industry in Thailand; The political unrest in the country is brought about by the confrontation of the two.
