Dear all distinguished participants,

        
        Since the first Congress was held in 1998, ARMA has met regularly to discuss how Rehabilitation Medicine can advance patient care and quality of life.

        On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I sincerely invite you to take part in the 5th ARMA. It is our pleasure to host you in the beautiful city of Bangkok for ARMA 2009, held from December 10-12.

        The Scientific Program consists of many interesting up-to-date topics and workshops, covering the many varied fields of Rehabilitation Medicine. This Congress will provide a good opportunity to share the latest knowledge and experience with many highly distinguished international speakers. We all strive for a better quality of life for our patients, hence the theme for this meeting, "Towards a Better Life, Beyond the Horizon," is very pertinent.

        Bangkok is one of the world's biggest cities and most popular holiday destinations, so come and experience its many attractions. The blend of old and new, traditional and modern, make Bangkok one of the most exciting and beautiful cities. Together with the famous warm hospitality of the Thai people, your trip will be an unforgettable one.

        Your participation will enrich ARMA 2009 and we look forward to welcoming you to Bangkok, Thailand.
