Even  H.E.Dorji, former Ambassador from Bhutan, a Spadji, and an old friend of Vikrom has also been invited.

The Indian Ambassador was very helpful and is also arranging for classical musical recitals for the evening to enhance the event. I just hope I can arrange a wooden stage and 7 microphones for his team.

The Thai OPT has introduced OPT MERIT AWARDS for OP's in Thailand who have crossed 70 years age and have either contributed to SPS rebuilding/renovation financially or otherwise and or been actively involved in social work in Thai society and or been successful in their professional endeavers. The OPT selected 2 persons for Awards this year. The Ambasador will present to those 2 worthy persons. This new trend will be adopted for all future annual dinners.
