» Japan has always been one of my favourite countries. I still remember fondly my first visit to the Land of the Rising Sun as a visiting student in the Friendship Programme for the 21st Century when I was studying in my third year at the Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut Institute of Technology Lat Krabang. It was in mid-summer of 1986. During the trip we paid a visit to Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyoto. The images of refreshingly green leaves of momiji or the Japanese maple when catching the afternoon sunlight were totally mesmerising.

» In the course of preparing for the opening of the Museum of Floral Culture to commemorate HM the Queen's 80th birthday in August, I am currently busy working on different aspects of the museum. In addition to the permanent exhibits that are housed in the century-old teak mansion built during the reign of King Rama VI, the garden will also be one of the main highlights of the museum as a living exhibit.
