The logo commemorating the 75th anniversary of Thai-Indian ties is highly symbolic. On the left is the Thai Pha Khao Ma (the Thai-style sarong or longyi) interwoven with the sari, India’s traditional fabric on the right. Together they symbolise the ties that bind and get stronger by the day. Lest we forget, in 1947 Thailand was one of the first countries to establish formal ties with India.

 

India has been one of the cradles of Southeast Asian civilisation since ancient times and the links continue until today. Thailand has received cultural and traditional inspiration from India for at least two thousand years. Indeed, the Thai greeting “Sawasdee” comes from Sanskrit. In fact, there is a little of India in every nook and cranny of this country. Just take a look and enjoy.

The celebration comes at a time when the global environment is being disrupted by war and aggression. Therefore, it is imperative that both sides not add fuel to the fire. Thailand and India share common visions of “Shanti” or “peace”, which would be beneficial to all mankind. That helps explain why both countries, in their own way, try to find ways to reduce or extinguish the blazes looming large elsewhere. Together, they can act as a balance wheel in the Indo-Pacific region.

I doubt that Thailand has lot to offer to India.....whereas Thailand is banking on Indian tourists to change their fortune. If they really know Indiana then they need to get rid of forced quarantine and this Thai pass charade!

75 years of money ties, not a love affair.
