The 23rd Annual Korean Workshop on Computational Geometry (KWCG 2023)
will be held in “Koh Samui (Samui Island), Thailand” in the week July 3 - July 7, 2023.
Koh Samui (or Ko Samui, shortened to KohSam) (Wikipedia, kosamui.com)
is an island and city off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus, Thailand.
The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working in
computational geometry to discuss and work together on research
problems. Following the tradition of the preceding workshops, we hope to
have active discussions and to work together on research problems, in
particular in, but not limited to, the area of computational
geometry. Therefore I would like you to bring some interesting open
problems that can be explained quickly. This time, there will be sessions on
“Optimal data structures and algorithmic applications in dynamic geometric environments” as part of the workshop.
As usual the workshop will mostly consist of research work in small, spontaneously formed groups. We will work on open problems presented by the participants within the first two days of the meeting. Therefore, participants are asked to prepare presentations (~10-15 min.) introducing interesting research topics including open problems.
The workshop will be held at SAii Koh Samui Choengmon.

We booked a block of rooms as a meeting package. Each participant
is supposed to arrive on July 2 and depart on July 7.
We will provide a link for room reservation in March 2023.
Samui Island can be reached by flights from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) by Bangkok Airways (https://www.bangkokair.com).
There are about 10 flights a day.
Another option is to take flights operated by ThaiAirsia (https://airasia.com) from DonMuang airport to Surat Thani airport, take a coach to Donsak Pier and then take a ferry to Nathon Pier at Samui island.
On 2 July, there is a flight at 06:50 from DonMuang airport to Surat Thani airport, but the booking is not possible yet (There might be a few more flights but they are not available yet). The ticket will be available about one month in advance.
It takes at least 2 hour to travel from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Don Muang airport (DMK). You may consider to stay a night at Amari Hotel (https://goo.gl/maps/ZLmJfmbEBCsgyZnq8 ) opposite to Don Muang airport, or Centara Grand Central Plaza Ladprao (https://goo.gl/maps/jY3StgA2dYFpdMVZ6).
It takes about 30 mins from the airport to SAii Koh Samui Choengmon Hotel. The hotel can arrange transit from the airport.
It costs about 1,000 THB per person per trip.
