Mr. Tanee Sangrat, Ambassador-designate of Thailand to the ROK, held discussions with Mr. Park Chull-joo, Ambassador for International Relations of Jeollanam Provincial Government of the ROK, on ways to increase tourism and economic exchanges between Thailand and the Province. Both sides discussed possible collaboration in festivals to be held by both the Embassy and Jeollanam-do, such as the Embassy’s Sawasdee Seoul Thai Festival in Q3 this year, Jeollanam-do’s Jangheung Water Festival this June at Gwanghwamun Square, and the Province’s annual International Food Festival this September.
