Thai PM to make official visit to Phnom Penh tomorrow

13 Sept 09:44 Key points summarised by AI

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra will undertake a two-day official visit to Phnom Penh at the invitation of Cambodian counterpart Hun Manet.
The visit commemorates the 75th anniversary of Thai-Cambodian diplomatic relations, with a ceremony planned to unveil the official logo for the occasion.
During her visit, Paetongtarn will have an audience with King Norodom Sihamoni and pay a courtesy call on Senate President Hun Sen, aiming to strengthen bilateral ties.
This visit seeks to further improve relations, which have recently seen positive developments, partly influenced by her father, former PM Thaksin Shinawatra's historical connection with Hun Sen, despite past border disputes.

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
