Ambassador of Thailand to Korea Promotes Cooperation between Thailand and Busan On 26 March 2026, H.E. Mr. Tanee Sangrat, Ambassador of Thailand to the Republic of Korea, met with Dr. Heui-Yeob Seong, Vice Mayor for Future Innovation of Busan Metropolitan City, to enhance cooperation. The key areas of discussion included the establishment of a sister city partnership in the creative economy, particularly in the film and tourism industry, between Krabi Province and Busan, the opening of direct or chartered flights between Busan and Krabi and the promoting of network between Thai and Busan startups as well as strengthening ASEAN–ROK relations, in light of the Ambassador’s role as Chair of the ASEAN Committee in Seoul (ACS) from March to June 2026. The above discussions built upon earlier consultations between the Ambassador and the Governors of Krabi and Phang Nga and representatives from the public and private sectors of both provinces in February 2026. These efforts aim to enhance opportunities for trade and investment, as well as to improve tourism connectivity among Busan, Krabi, and Phang Nga, including nearby lesser known tourism destinations in Thailand.
