My Trip to Thailand

I just returned from a long, but very rewarding trip to Thailand.  I spoke at the International Conference on Local Government, organized by the College of Local Administration at Khon Kaen University.  The conference attracted approximately 500 scholars and public officials from 13 different countries.  I learned much from the conference. 

This was my first time to Isan -- Northeast Thailand. Our hosts at KKU were most gracious.  I'll never forget the food, the hospitality and the beauty of the culture.
