Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai criticized foreign diplomats for attending a police station where politician Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit reported, deeming it an inappropriate interference in Thailand's judicial affairs.
Don clarified that diplomatic involvement in a host country's judicial process is strictly limited to cases involving their own citizens and is governed by UN protocols.
He emphasized that the diplomats' presence, especially within the interrogation room, was unprecedented and occurred without prior consultation with the Foreign Ministry, prompting a planned reminder of proper diplomatic conduct.

Today 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
