webfact Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 ScandAsia had the pleasure to welcome H.E. Anna Hammargren, the new Swedish Ambassador to Thailand, on 23. October 2023. A tall, distinguished woman with long hair and engaging eyes. Anna Hammargren was born in Solna, a prime settlement and municipality located just north of Stockholm, but spent all her childhood in nearby Sollentuna, also north of the capital. In Sollentuna, Anna went to school and after finishing High School, Anna took a break from studying and decided – like many young Swedish women do – to spread her wings and go abroad. Her choice fell on Dallas/Fort-Worth in Texas where she had relatives, and there she took up a job as au pair. She smiles when she tells how surprised she was to see most guys her own age, wearing checkered shirts and cowboy boots. That was far from the dress-code or fashion in Sweden. She worked as au pair for one year and then went travelling around in the US. by Agneta de Bekassy Full story: ScandAsia 2023-11-04 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post ukrules Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 She worked as an au pair when she was a kid and now she's an ambassador - that's the strangest cover story I've ever read. I wonder what she did to become elevated into the corridors of power in Sweden and the various embassies she's worked at around the world? 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I wonder if they served those cute and delicious Swedish meatballs at the reception , like the ones they serve at IKEA? I love these things. Oh and I like hard boiled eggs, but that's a story for another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normal for graduates in European countries ( and even the UK, before it tumbled down the charts) to go travelling before they settle into lifelong careers. That travel usually involves temporary jobs - bar work, au pair, etc. Employers like it as it adds useful life skills to their portfolios.

Anyway let’s hope she does something useful during her stay other than 3 years of attending parties etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VillageIdiot Posted November 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 What will her main duties be? Thailand and Sweden seem to be polar opposites in every conceivable sense of the term. Sex tourism is the only obvious nexus. Swedish "men" coming and Thai "brides" going. Anyway, best of luck Anna. 1 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
