Thai Deputy Prime Minister Chatchai Sarikulya has recently paid an official visit to the Hungarian capital to discuss issues like technological coopration, water management and even the possibility of a direct air link between the two countries.

An informal gathering, organized by the group Diplomatic Spouses Budapest (DSB), was recently hosted at the Residence of the Royal Thai Embassy, bringing Thailand and Laos into the focal point of interest for the Hungarian audience.

According to a decision earlier this year by the Thai government, as of 11 August onwards, Hungarian citizens are exempt from visa requirement, if they travel to Thailand as tourists and stay not longer than thirty days.
