Australian Ambassador to Thailand Paul Robilliard.

 

PHUKET: -- Australian Ambassador to Thailand Paul Robilliard has issued a a special message to mark Australia Day today (Jan 26), with special mention for Phuket and its role for Australians.

 

In his Ambassador’s Message, Amb Robilliard wrote:

 

Please allow me to convey heartfelt condolences on behalf of all the staff of the Australian Embassy on the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. His Majesty contributed greatly to the warm and strong relationship between Australia and Thailand.

 

May I also convey warmest wishes on the accession to the throne of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun. The enduring friendship between our two countries is underscored by the years His Majesty spent studying and training in Australia in the 1970s.

 

Australia Day in Thailand this year is an occasion to mark the long-standing bilateral relationship which has flourished for sixty-five years.

 

Our two countries work closely together in regional and international forums, and on a range of important issues including defence, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, and combatting people smuggling and human trafficking. The opening of Australian Consulate-General in Phuket last year was testament to our growing relationship.

 

Nearly 900,000 Australians visit Thailand every year. Phuket remains one of the most popular destinations for Australian tourists. Australians continue to value the generous hospitality of Thais.

That occurs at the Auscham Ball this Saturday night at the Grand Hyatt Erawan. Always a good spread with Aussie lamb and Penfolds wines. About 3500 baht will get you a ticket.
