Bangkok, 23 April 2025 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), in collaboration with the Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce, hosted the “Foundation of Rome & Bangkok Grand Celebration” to commemorate the shared founding date of the capitals of Thailand and Italy—both established on 21 April.
Representing TAT at the event, which is part of the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025, Mrs. Chiravadee Khunsub, Deputy Governor for International Marketing – Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas, emphasised the importance of tourism and cultural exchange in strengthening international understanding and long-standing bilateral relations.
Held on 21 April at Siri Sala Private Thai Villa in Bangkok, the celebration featured live music, traditional performances, showcases by Italian businesses, and a panel discussion titled “Bridging Cultures Through Tourism: Thailand & Italy in Focus.” The evening concluded with a networking dinner to foster closer collaboration between Thai and Italian partners.
Italy remains a high-potential source market for Thailand, with 267,000 visitors in 2024 and strong momentum into 2025. With growing demand for independent and sustainable travel, and direct flights from Rome and Milan, TAT continues to engage Italian travellers through targeted campaigns and partnerships.
