Welcome Note
The Asian Pacific Association
of Gastroenterology (APAGE),
in
collaboration
with
the
Gastroenterological
Association of Thailand
(GAT), is organising the
APAGE 2nd Clinical Forum
on Inflammatory Bowel
Disease (IBD) from 26th to
27th August 2016 at the
Shangri-La Hotel, Chiang
Mai, Thailand. The theme for the Forum is “IBD in the Asia Pacific – Time to Move
Forward”. It is with great pleasure for us to welcome one and all to come join us in Chiang
Mai, Thailand, for this focused monothematic meeting on IBD.
IBD has become an emergent disease in Asia. There are many special considerations
before the diagnosis of IBD is made locally. Many diagnostic and therapeutic options
remain elusive in different parts of Asia. Therefore, it is essential to have a meeting of
scientific minds dedicated to the needs of practitioners within Asia. We need to learn from
each other, share knowledge and best local practices to optimally manage our patients.
Chiang Mai, the old capital city of the Lanna Kingdom, is Thailand’s principal Northern
Province. Dating back more than 700 years, Chiang Mai, the second largest metropolitan,
next to Bangkok was originally named “Nopburi Srinakornping Chiangmai”, meaning
the new city. Chiang Mai is a city of distinct beauty that has its own cultural heritage,
along with its numerous ancient temples and building, and its handicrafts. Thanks to
the majestic mountains and valleys and its beautiful scenery, Chiang Mai offers hills,
mountain streams, lakes, field, waterfalls, caves, hill tribe villages, orchid, butterfly farms,
elephant camps, trekking tours and river rafting expeditions.
We hope that her charms will provide a beautiful backdrop for all of us to foster networks
for future collaboration to improve our practice for this niched but important discipline
in Gastroenterology.
On behalf of Professor Dr Kentaro Sugano, President of APAGE, and Professor Dr Varocha
Mahachai, President of GAT, the Organising Committee would like to welcome everyone
who has interest and interaction with IBD patients to come forth and join us in Chiang
Mai, Thailand.

Message from President of
ASIAN PACIFIC ASSOCIATION OF
GASTROENTEROLOGY
Welcome to the Asian Pacific Association of Gastroenterology
(APAGE) Second Clinical Forum on Inflammatory Bowel Disease
2016.
It is with a sense of pride that the APAGE in conjunction with the
Gastroenterological Association of Thailand (GAT) is organising
this focused monothematic meeting on Inflammatory Bowel
Disease (IBD) to be held on 26th & 27th August 2016 at the ShangriLa Hotel, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The theme for the Forum is “IBD in
the Asia Pacific – Time to Move Forward”.
This two-day meeting will follow the series of meetings organised
by the IBD Subcommittee previously and will focus on clinical
issues and participation of clinicians principally from the South
East Asian region. We target to have 200 key opinion leaders and
clinicians to attend this meeting.
I wish to congratulate the Organising Committee, both international
and local, for drawing up a very attractive and comprehensive
programme. I would also like to thank the GAT, in particular
Professor Dr Varocha Mahachai, in this collaborative effort.
I wish everyone an enjoyable stay in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for this
meeting.

Message from President of
the Gastroenterological
Association of Thailand
On behalf of the Gastroenterological Association of Thailand,
I would like to cordially welcome all the faculty members and
participants of the APAGE Second Clinical Forum on IBD conference
in Chiangmai 26th - 27th August, 2016, at the Shangri-La Hotel.
This conference is under the leaderships of Dr Eddy CJ Ooi, and
Professor Dr Pisaln Mairiang which follows the GAT mid-year
meeting. Professor Dr Ida Hilmi has planned an exceptional
scientific programme involving many experts from the Asia-Pacific
region along with the international speakers. This joint effort in
the region will strengthen the academic interests in IBD leading to
better understanding and awareness of the diseases, optimisation
of patient care, and collaboration and networking in the field of
IBD.
Chiangmai is the second largest city in Thailand, well-known as the
‘cultural capital’ of Thailand. It is situated in the northern part of
Thailand, enriched with culture, temples, traditional handicraft,
exotic cuisine and beautiful mountainous sceneries. I would like
to extend my sincere appreciation to Professor Dr Kentaro Sugano
and Dr Eddy CJ Ooi for allowing us to be a part of this very important
activity in the region.
