OBJECTIVES:
The workshop will cover a broad range of issues in high-energy theory. Topics closer to classical gravity and cosmology are likely to fit in better at our parallel "gr-qc" workshop. The talks are expected to be informal and interactive, with a substantial pedagogical component. We strongly encourage blackboard presentations.

Other theoretical physics meetings at the same venue in January-February 2025:
2nd BANGKOK WORKSHOP ON GRAVITY AND COSMOLOGY
7th BANGKOK WORKSHOP ON DISCRETE GEOMETRY, DYNAMICS AND STATISTICS
PRE- AND POST-WORKSHOP RESIDENCE PROGRAM:
Participants are invited to remain in residence for informal communication and collaboration during the weeks preceding (January 13-17) and succeeding (January 27-31) the workshop.
REGISTRATION has been closed.
VENUE:
The workshop will be held at the physics department of Chulalongkorn University (commonly abbreviated as "Chula"), Thailand's leading school in natural science fields centrally located in the modernized Pathumwan district of Bangkok.
PRACTICALITIES:
Citizens of a large number of nations (including EU, US, UK, Japan, Korea, India, China, a number of South-East-Asian countries and more) enjoy visa-free entry to Thailand for up to 60 days. Some others can obtain a visa-on-arrival at the airport for up to 15 days.
Participants are expected to arrange their own accommodations. Reservations should not be difficult to make via, e.g., booking.com or other similar sites, or by contacting the hotels directly. Being an epicenter of a gigantic tourist industry, Bangkok offers plentiful accommodations at all luxury levels, priced considerably lower than the general international standards. It should not be difficult to find housing within 1km of the workshop location indicated on this map. A neat and clean mid-range (around 1200-1400 baht/night) hotel within walking distance that we can recommend is Patumwan House. Happy 3 Hotel has been preferred by some of our participants as a somewhat more upscale alternative. Another option is this recently opened hotel that is even closer to the campus and has received positive feedback. We generally advise against the luxurious corporate highrise hotels, a few of which are located close to the university.
Climatic conditions in Bangkok are advantageous during the season of the workshop (roughly corresponding to a pleasantly warm and sunny summer in temperate countries).
