Fakhriddin Sultanov, the Consul General of the Republic of Uzbekistan, made a courtesy visit to the Governor of Phuket, Sophon Suwannarat, yesterday, December 14.

 

The visit marked a momentous occasion for Sultanov as it was his 36th trip to the popular Thai island. The delegation was warmly greeted, and the meeting was aimed at discussing potential cooperation between Phuket and Uzbekistan, particularly in the sectors of trade, investment, and tourism.

 

Sultanov, having lived in Thailand for several years, developed a deep appreciation for the country and its culture. His family also resides in Thailand, further deepening his ties to the nation. He mentioned his past experience in the aviation industry and acknowledged the significance of tourism and economic development.

 

Despite the geographical distance, Sultanov noted similarities between Uzbekistan and Thailand, particularly in terms of lifestyle and cultural practices. He highlighted the industriousness of Thai people and the cultural parallels like the routine of waking up early.

I visited Uzbekistan for the first time three months ago. It was one of the most amazing of the more than 80 countries I have visited in my life. It's beautiful, friendly, safe. And with direct six-hour flights between Bangkok and the capital Tashkent, I plan to go back every September/October, when the weather is great there while we are experiencing the worst of the rainy season here in Thailand. Here are some of my photos from the trip:
