The Bangkok WSF 2006, 
originally planned as a S.E. Asia / E. Asia Social Forum, 
has now been changed to a "Thai Social Forum".........
We sincerely apologise to all friends in Asia\Australia who were hoping
to attend an international forum in Bangkok and who have put much work
into the preparation for such a forum.
We ask for your understanding on the basis that a majority of Thai
organizations felt unready to take part in an international forum this
October, but were prepared to hold a "Thai Forum" . 

Agreement from a meeting of 25+ Thai Organisations
Held on Friday 5 May 2006 
On the issue of the Bangkok 2006 Forum

1.      The Forum will be changed from an international forum
(SEAsia\EAsia) to a "Thai Forum" (the minority dissenting view bowed to
the majority wishes)
2.      The Thai Social Forum will be held 21-23 October 2006 at
Thammasart University 
3.      Theme of Forum: "Thai Social Reform"
4.      It was agreed in principle to try to get wide ranging
discussions across the boundaries of issue-based networks, to promote
grass-roots participation and to include sectors which have
traditionally been left out of previous meetings eg. Gender groups,
Minority groups and new Student and Youth groups. 

Steering Committee of the Thai Social Forum

1.        AIDS\HIV network 
2.        Labour Union\ Rungsit Area Committee
