The Culture Ministry is inviting photographers both Thai and foreign, professional and amateur, to submit their digital-format photos of the flood disaster for possible display in the "Nam+Jai 2554" (Water+Empathy 2011) photo exhibition.

The exhibition, hosted by the ministry, the BACC, the Royal Photographic Society of Thailand under the Royal Patronage of HM the King, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and Ayutthaya province, aims to record this history incident and reflect people's empathy and assistance to one another in the face of this major crisis. The money earned will go to the fund to restore ancient sites. The ministry has also received the photos taken by HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn for inclusion in this exhibition, which will be held from December 8 to 30 on the ninth floor of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre and from December 11 to 15 at the Ayutthaya City Hall’s Tourism Centre, as well as online at www.BigCamera.co.th/water+empathy2011.
