Introduction and Scope:
 
Corrosion of metal is a phenomenon and has a great impact on damage of all metal equipment or infrastructures in various industries resulting in high risk of working safety, a big loss of economic as well as health. Corrosion can cause plant shutdowns and require extensive repair and replacement of the failed assets. The annual corrosion cost by 3 to 4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been reported for industrialized countries. For Thailand, the corrosion cost up to 2% of GDP has been predicted by the experts.
 
Basically, corrosion of metal is not only an electrochemical interaction between metal and environment, but also the mixed effects of metallurgy, mechanic and electricity. Therefore, corrosion prevention and control is highly complex, and involves extensive expertise and significant resources. Experience and knowledge sharing among individuals and societies across nation and global can be a key element to enhance technical capability of personnel to deal with corrosion concerns in industries, in particular oil-gas and power generation. Additionally, R&D is recognized as a powerful tool to bring the industry innovative means for corrosion prevention and control of components and facilities. 
 
This conference aims to establish a platform for gathering and sharing information on corrosion prevention technology among delegates with academic and industrial backgrounds. It will help to promote collaboration between national institutes and societies in order to sustain our green society with reliable infrastructure for Thai industries.

One of the hottest beach-resort destinations in Thailand, Pattaya may not be idyllic but it certainly makes up for it with a wide variety of activities, accommodation, and nightlife venues.

Pattaya is a popular beach resort on the Gulf of Thailand just 150 km southeast of Bangkok: a mere two hour drive. While Pattaya once had a well deserved reputation for its seedy nightlife, local authorities have, in recent years, improved the quality of the beaches and reinvented the resort, to some degree, as a more family friendly destination. Today, hundreds of thousands of visitors are drawn each year to Pattaya to windsurf, water ski, swim, sunbathe, snorkel, sail, or take trips to nearby islands. Other activities include Bungee jumping, cycling, skydiving, go-Karting, Muay Thai (Thai boxing), and Paintball (to name only a few!) Golfers, both novice and expert are well catered to as well, with a wide selection of golf courses around Pattaya including the Phoenix, Pattaya Country Club, and the Navy course near Sattahip, which offers 18 holes of golf for around 1,000 baht (around 30 US dollars)! Another major draw for visitors to Pattaya is the wide selection of restaurants serving some of Thailand's freshest seafood. Due to the high number of expatriate foreigners in Pattaya there is also an excellent selection of authentic foreign eateries serving French, Italian, Swiss, German, Hungarian, Scandinavian, English, Indian, Moslem, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine. Drawing such a large number of diverse visitors from across the world, it’s no surprise that Pattaya also boasts an incredible choice of accommodation. Those on a tight budget and those with money to burn are equally able to find rooms to suit their needs. Even those who are turned off by the widespread development along Pattaya’s main beach can find some peaceful beach time at nearby Jomtien beach, just 3 kilometers south, which is a far quieter alternative.

Just over one hour from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, Pattaya is a lively beach town that draws visitors from around the world. With activities that include a wide array of water sports, golf, shopping, cabaret shows, an elephant village, and a Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum (to name only a very few) it’s impossible not to have an action-packed Pattaya holiday. Unless of course its relaxation you crave, in which case there are thousands of beach chairs and umbrellas lining the Pattaya shore, where wandering vendors will cater to your every need: from barbequed shrimp to a foot massage. Pattaya is certainly a Thai beach resort that meets the needs of any visitor on any budget.


Key Tips

  • Only fish during the appropriate fishing season.
  • Dress politely and take off your shoes before entering Buddhist temples.
  • Examine rental motorbikes and cars thoroughly before renting.
  • Drive motorbikes and rental cars with extreme caution.
  • Beware of con-artists who prey on new tourists to Thailand. While most Thai people are just being friendly, be careful of those offering to do you too many favors or promising you incredible bargains.
  • Beware of pick pockets, especially on Walking Street when it's crowded.
  • Beware of entertainment venues that have poor signage or are poorly lit inside; some venues offer free admission and then refuse to allow visitors to leave until they have paid exorbitant bar bills.
  • Do not purchase or consume illegal drugs or participate in illegal gambling.
  • Show respect to the local Thai people and the Thai police. Guilty or not, your display of anger will only make things worse.
  • Haggle in a good natured way with small shop vendors. A polite “no thank you” will be more effective than a loud display of emotion.
  • Ask for the price first when ordering food and before getting a massage or manicure on the beach. Do likewise before renting a jet ski or getting in a tuk tuk or taxi.
  • The sun in Pattaya is very strong; apply sunscreen liberally and frequently.
  • Tap water in Thailand is not safe to drink; however, bottled water is cheap and readily available.
    While illegal, the sex industry is a reality in Pattaya. It is strongly advised to protect yourself accordingly, both from sexually transmitted diseases and from theft.
