The annual observance on December 5th commemorates the birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, as well as Thailand’s National Day and Father's Day.

King Bhumibol's legacy features more than 4,000 royal projects advocating for sustainable development.

His globally recognized Sufficiency Economy Philosophy is implemented in Vietnam to promote sustainable practices.

The 48-year partnership between Thailand and Vietnam has matured into a 'Comprehensive Strategic Partnership,' marked by political trust, economic collaboration, and cultural connections.

With strategic partnerships established in 2013 and 2019, Thailand and Vietnam seek to further fortify their relationship.

High-level visits have bolstered their political and security cooperation, demonstrated by the visits of Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son.

Economic ties have prospered with bilateral trade reaching $18.9 billion in 2023, and Thailand is a key investor in Vietnam.

The 'Three Connects Strategy' aims to integrate supply chains, economies, and growth strategies.

Cultural connections, as shown by Thai-Vietnamese communities and shared memorial sites, continue to foster strong bilateral relations.

With 100,000 Thais of Vietnamese descent and new initiatives like the 'Thailand-Viet Nam Cultural Street Gate,' this bond deepens.

Tourism and education strengthen people-to-people connections, with increasing flight links and language education initiatives.

Recently, the Royal Thai Embassy hosted cultural events in Vietnam to enhance mutual understanding.

As Thailand and Vietnam work together on Industry 4.0 and green growth, they prepare to navigate the challenges of a volatile global economy.
