Southbound journey of commemorative UK event continues.
Let's Talk About the British Embassy's Hype Roadshow in Southern Thailand!
Get ready to party, southern Thailand! The Brits are in town for their "170th Outreach Roadshow and British Fair," a grand celebration of the 170-year-old bond between the United Kingdom and Thailand. And let me tell you, they ain't holding back!
The roadshow, led by Ambassador Mark Gooding and his crew of agriculture and commercial experts, is all about showcasing the stellar collaboration between the two nations under the theme "Our Shared World." This event is a testament to the UK's focus on environmental conservation, wildlife protection, marine preservation, and sustainable farming and tourism.
The roadshow kicked off in Phuket and traveled through Krabi. In Krabi, embassy officials visited the Southern Thailand Elephant Foundation to witness someUK-supported veterinary care and even had a tree planting ceremony. Mr Gooding also got a taste of eco-friendly hospitality practices and met up with the Krabi governor to chat about road safety.
Next stop was Surat Thani, where talks about high-standard exports, UK import protocols, and sustainable tourism occupied the center stage. A visit to a shrimp farm was also on the itinerary, demonstrating the fruitful UK-Thai cooperation in aquaculture and food security. The southern leg of the roadshow was wrapped up with the British Fair 2025 at Big C Surat Thani, running from 4pm to 8pm that day.
Now, hold on tight because the roadshow isn't over yet! The next leg of the journey will take place in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) in July. This time around, the focus will shift to "Our Shared Wealth and Prosperity." So, buckle up and get ready for some serious economic collaboration!
Ambassador Gooding said, "This roadshow is a celebration of our centuries-long ties with Thailand, ranging from education to innovation and sustainability. We're stoked to reveal the depth and breadth of our partnership in this 170th year."
Stay tuned for more exciting updates about the upcoming events in the EEC. There, economic collaboration, innovation, and trade between the UK and Thailand will be front and center, aiming to generate shared economic growth and prosperity.
