In summary, Thailand is the center of Asian countries for advancing the Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS) in research and several plans of developing ADS. Moreover, there are many researchers and engineers being interested in ADS. Now Bangkok has been well advancing rapidly and it has the important roles of the global activities on technology and business.
