Mr. Vishunu Varunyou, Vice-President of the Supreme Administrative Court, assigned Mr. Chanwit Chaikan, Judge of the Rayong Administrative Court, to represent the Administrative Court in attending a series of academic seminars entitled "Building Control Law and Environmental and Safety Management: A Comparative Study between Japan and Thailand." The seminars were organized under the University of Osaka’s International Exchange and Research Capacity Enhancement Program and were held from 29 April to 17 May 2026 at the Graduate School of Law and Politics, the University of Osaka, Japan.

      Participation in these seminars represented an important opportunity to strengthen academic cooperation and promote the exchange of knowledge between the two institutions. The seminars focused on disputes concerning building control laws and urban planning laws through a comparative analysis of legal systems, notable case studies, and law enforcement practices in Japan and Thailand.

   The discussions also addressed issues relating to environmental management and public safety, particularly disaster prevention, environmental governance, and safe urban development, with significant case studies drawn from Tokyo and Bangkok.

      The participation in this academic seminar was highly successful and reflected the strong potential for further academic collaboration between the two institutions through systematic comparative studies on building control laws, as well as environmental and safety issues in the context of modern urban development. Such cooperation is expected to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of administrative justice and sustainable urban management in the future.
