whosyourdaddy Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 For those of you that are extremely bored with bar girl talk and sitting around talking about football, there are some excellent keynote speakers in Bangkok over the next coming weeks. I had the privilege of being invited to one today at Chula University. Most of the guest lectures are Nobel Laureate and some of the greatest minds of our time. I will definitely be going to Sir Joseph Rotblat who worked on the Manhattan project and is a recipient of the Nobel peace prize and also Ramos-Horta ?The Unipolar World ? Can the US lead?? Other very interesting speakers would be the previous President of Kashmir and Reverend Jesse L. Jackson (missed it) Since most events are attended by the royal family it would be wise to show up at least an hour early since you will not be allowed in once the royals have arrived. The bkk public lectures are being held at Chula's main auditorium off of Henri Durant Rd.

Guest lazyphil Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I've been bored of the bar scene for a long time--moved on but look back with lots of affection--however, living where I do I have a huge wealth of arts and culture on my doorstep--I'm going here on one of my up coming days off--also I saw Stephen Hawkins (in his electric wheel chair ) twice this summer whilst I was drinking in grad pubs by the river but I was too pissed up ( ) to start and conversations on the universe and such heavy topics--next time maybe--also might take the mrs here one day soon--I've been here a few times--very interesting but I think she'd find it boring--she is more interested in architecture and mountain scenery which came to my attention when we toured Austria and Italy in the summer--most impressed she was too --your lectures sound interesting--come back and tell us how you get on please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whosyourdaddy Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I will.. I really enjoyed the speech today, since it is in my field of study. Plus I made the evening news since I was sitting behind the Princess. It is a rare event that you get some intellectual stimulation in BKK, so we take all we can get.
