As part of the activities of the 60th Anniversary of Thai-Philippine Diplomatic Relations in 2009, the Royal Thai Embassy in cooperation with the City of Manila, the Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Airways International, has organized the Aksara Puppet Show on 26 February to be held at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Auditorium, Intramuros, Manila.

The Aksara Puppet Show aims to promote cultural exchange between Thailand and the Philippines by showcasing the ancient art of Thai puppetry. In parallel, the Embassy has organized an Exhibition on the Royal Projects of His Majesty the King of Thailand proudly sharing His Majesty?s extraordinary works which has benefited the lives of the Thai people and contributed to the national development with our Filipino friends.

The Embassy is honoured to have received the invaluable support of the City of Manila as well as the? Team Thailand in the Philippines, particularly the Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Airways International, in facilitating all the arrangements to ensure the success of the said event.

I am confident that these cultural activities will not only contribute to the strengthening of our diplomatic relations through the promotion of cultural cooperation but also enhance people-to-people contacts and deepen our mutual understanding.

Once again, the Royal Thai Embassy extends an invitation to all and ?Friends of Thailand? to be? a part of this cultural event as well as all the upcoming special events and activities? this year.
