webfact Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeted by Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-Cha as he arrives at Suvarnabhumi International Airport airport near Bangkok to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in November 2022. (Photo by Handout / Thai Government / AFP) One of the biggest foreign policy successes of the year for Thailand was the normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia, ending three decades of coldness. The new bonhomie was marked by the visit to Thailand of Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (MBS) during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in November. The two sides signed five pacts to promote cooperation in various fields during MBS’ visit. The two countries began the normalization of bilateral ties this year when Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha made a ground-breaking trip to Riyadh on January 25-26, the highest-level visit by either side. Relations soured in 1989 following a jewellery heist by a Thai worker from Riyadh Palace and the subsequent murder of Saudi diplomats in Bangkok.

Some tedious pedant will be along soon to tell you that Wasabi, the "sauce" of your joke, is radish.......not mustard. But it was funny.

Scouse123 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Hello Prayuth, Now where are those jewels you promised to give me back? I haven't come all this way for nothing. Tell Prawit he can keep the watch, it's an old one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that he was the 10,000,000th foreigner to visit Thailand this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayuth made the long trip to Saudi Arabia last January. He had to bring a 'gift' and make apologies. The only way relations could be restored. Saudi was nice enough to remain silent and let Thai media flog a cover story about wanting Thai workers. Silence is golden blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
