Phuket marked a significant milestone as Mongolia inaugurated its honorary consulate on the island, coinciding with the 49th anniversary of its diplomatic ties with Thailand last week. The consulate’s office is located at the Gig Hotel on Soi Bangla in the Patong district.

 

The opening ceremony saw the attendance of key figures including Tumur Amarsanaa, Mongolia’s ambassador to Thailand, Nutthaphong Phathakiatpaisan, Mongolia’s Honorary Consul, and Phuket’s governor, Sophon Suwannarat. The consulate’s staff is set to offer assistance to Mongolian visitors in Phuket and its neighbouring provinces, according to the ambassador.

 

Nutthaphong, who was appointed Mongolia’s Honorary Consul for Phuket on August 28, emphasised the unwavering commitment of both nations to strengthen their bilateral relations through knowledge and cultural exchanges, even after 49 years.

Expect Yaks in Bangla soon:)

I'll bet that's a popular posting when it's -40C back home.

 

Is it a step up or down from Kaz tourists ? 

Expect nonstop flights from Ulan Bataar to Phuket, every hour to the hour. Wondering how many Mongolians have consular needs in Phuket considering the limitations of the honorary character of the diplomatic outpost. 

But then, it does not any harm to anybody .........
