The raiser of SIZ, Mr. Pisuth Ek-Amnuay was honored to receive an Outstanding Alumnus Award on Aggie Day ’54, 7th January 2011, from the Kasetsart University Alumni Association Under the King’s Patronage (K.U.A.) and the Kasetsart University Faculty of Agriculture. These awards honor four groups of recipients engaged in research, farming, private sector business, and governmental work including state enterprises. The author received an award as an Outstanding Researcher in Entomology. Certainly, this accolade was bestowed because of the author’s several published books in entomology, including Butterflies of Thailand and Beetles of Thailand, for founding the Siam Insect Zoo & Museum, and from the contributions through his own websites.
