Background
The Siam Society has an on-going programme of Study Trips. These trips range from one day local excursions, to trips to other countries in the region lasting several days. Wherever the trip is heading, the emphasis will be on nature, history, culture and religion. Where possible good facilities are used but this isn't always possible, for example when staying at a forestry station. Study Trips are often lead by scholars with an in-depth knowledge of the place being visited. The Siam Society has many contacts and sometimes this allows members to visit places not open to the general public.

A day to visit three Chinese temples in Bangkok and Nonthaburi provinces
Leader: Khun Eileen Deeley, Head of Music and Special Events, The Siam Society
San Chao Pho Suea (Tiger God Shrine) is the only Chinese shrine located within the walls of Rattanakosin Island. This popular Taoist shrine is dedicated to the dark warrior who was deified as Xuan Tian Shang Ti or Supreme Emperor of the Dark Heaven. It has become one of the main places of worship for Thai and Chinese Buddhists in the city of Bangkok. More>>> |

A VISIT TO RANONG AND SURAT THANI PROVINCES
Leader: Khun Panachavan (Bonnie) Na Ranong, Member of the Siam Society
Ranong province is known as the smallest and least populated of southern provinces. It also has the dubious distinction of being the wettest province in the country. The beneficial side of all this water is that it does wonders for the local flora; as a result 80 percent of the province and its 63 islands is covered by forest with, of course, many scenic waterfalls.

Study Trip to Central and East Java, Indonesia
Leader: Khun James Lehman, Council Member of the Siam Society
The highlights of the trip will be a full moon evening and sunrise at Borobudur during the first 24 hours of the trip. We will be staying at the only hotel located within the Borobudur Complex and thus will have convenient evening and sunrise access to the temple. The other highlight of the trip will be sunrise at the Mt. Bromo National Park, to view a stunning group of volcanos. We will also visit the ruins of the Majapahit Empire, experience accommodations at unique Dutch colonial hotels and spend time in the unique and historical cities of Yogyakarta and Surabaya.
