BANGKOK, 6 October 2020: ‘Thailand Now’, a new information website in the English language was launched at the weekend by Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to set the record straight and counter fake news.
‘Thailand Now’ is available on a range of digital platforms, including the website www.thailandnow.in.th as well as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter.
The launch event was chaired by Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Vijavat Isarabhakdiand witnessed by members of the Diplomatic Corps in Bangkok.
In a media statement released at the weekend, the ministry says the portal was “born out of the perception that friends of Thailand around the world wanted to hear a narrative of the Thai point of view on different topics. It resulted in the public and private agencies to collaborate in establishing a reliable information platform.”
Editorially it will cover business, investment, education, lifestyle and culture topics, while basic and in-depth information about Thailand will be combined to provide a comprehensive overview of the country.
