On theOn basis the basis of success of success of the of C& theFC C&FC symposium, symposium, we decided we decided to make to make a Special a Special Issue Issue in Catalysts, in Catalysts, consistingconsisting of seven of seven papers papers [1–7], [1 –specifically7], specifically from from researchers researchers from from Thailand, Thailand, Japan Japan and and China. China. We Wehope hope that thatthis thiswould would be a be good a good opportunity opportunity to glance to glance at the at theatmosphere atmosphere in the in theC&FC C&FC symposiumsymposium in Bangkok. in Bangkok.
