The International Journal of the Royal Society of Thailand
Volume XV-2023

Editor’s Note

The International Journal of the Royal Society of Thailand is a forum for different

voices on the past and future of global knowledge across all academic and semi-
academic disciplines. This XV volume, 2023 contains original articles contributed by
experts working in Thailand and/or international. They represent renowned institutions

and include the Royal Society of Thailand, Mahidol University, MORU Oxford
University, Kasetsart University, Thammasat University, University of Health

Sciences Lao PDR and Asian Development Bank. The published topics cover a wide
range of knowledge from past, present and future academic activities. One interest
issue is the trading of published works, which is a matter of concern in the intellectual

community.

I sincerely thank you Professor Suraphon Issaragrisil and Professor Suraphon
Wirutharat for their support and encouragement. I would like to thank the fellows and
associated fellows of the Royal Society of Thailand who participated in the poll for

words related to the society as depicted on the front cover of this volume. I hope
that the knowledge and ideas contained in this volume will inspire further research

interest. The continuing development of science, education, and art will support
improvements in health and good governance in Thailand and beyond.
