Official Salvage Operations suspended today (November 29)

After over five weeks of inundation, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) is set to launch a new, post-flood beginning.

AIT’s post-flood situation, the resumption of academic programs on December 6 and the “temporary and partial relocation” to campuses in Hua Hin and Cha-Am, Thailand, and AIT’s immediate plans for the recovery and restoration of the inundated Pathumthani campus were hot topics aired at an open forum for the AIT Community held last week (25 November 2011) in downtown Bangkok.

An alumnus of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Dr. Seree Supratid has been labelled the “Nostradamus of Bangkok floods” by the English daily Bangkok Post. Dr. Seree has emerged as a national celebrity following his accurate flood warnings and predictions, easy to understand reliable information and technical advice.

After the successful relaunch of administrative operations, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) is geared towards return to academic operations from 6 December 2011. Academic activities are now moving towards a return to normalcy, following the enormous flood disaster that inundated the AIT campus almost one month ago.

Complimenting the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) for its recovery operations after facing its worst ever disaster, Chubu University, Japan, has decided to contribute one million Yen towards disaster recovery for AIT.

Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) has constituted four task forces for creating its Recovery, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Plan. At a meeting organized at AIT’s temporary office at Chulalongkorn University, the University President Prof. Said Irandoust presented the draft framework for the rebuilding plan of AIT.
