The Bangkok suboffice of the Library of Congress Office, Jakarta, Indonesia, is responsible for the acquisition of material from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The Bangkok suboffice collects more than 750 serials and 1500 monographs annually. The suboffice acquires material on Thai, Cambodian, Lao, and Vietnamese culture, history, and civilization, as well as material that documents contributions in the areas of social welfare, planning, development, economics, government, politics, sociology, history, education, military science, etc. Material is acquired in Thai, Lao, Khmer, Vietnamese, and Burmese.
