By The NationThe United States and Australian embassies in Bangkok on Tuesday posted entertaining video clips to celebrate this year’s Songkran.
The US mission posted a fun, food-themed video titled “US Embassy Bangkok Spicy Food Challenge”.
Embassy staff are seen tucking in to six spicy Thai dishes – Nam Prik Noom (grilled green chilli dip), Phad Krapow Moo (stir-fried basil with minced pork), Mama Phad Khee Mao (spicy stir-fried drunken instant noodles), Gaeng Hed (fermented mushroom soup), Gaeng Tai Pla (fermented fish entrails curry) and Gaeng Leung (yellow curry with fish and papaya).
The munching diplomats comment in Thai on the food between mouthfuls, remarking on its tastiness (“aroy mak”) and also comparing the spicy flavours to the Tex-Mex cuisine of Arizona. However, as the spice level gets higher with each dish, some diners begin to struggle. “It’s worth eating for bilateral relations between the two countries,” one US diplomat splutters in Thai after taking a fiery mouthful of Gaeng Leung.
They sign off with a message for Thailand: “We hope you all have a fun, safe and delicious Thai New Year! Happy Songkran!”
Meanwhile, the Australian Embassy had fun with a virtual Songkran celebration posted on its Facebook page.

Ambassador Allan McKinnon appears in traditional Thai dress as a message board is virtually handed around to individual staff in a Zoom-style video. Each member chalks a Thai letter before the message is handed back to McKinnon, who is promptly soaked by water guns from all sides.
“This year we are celebrating Songkran virtually, with a bit of physical distancing. Our Embassy staff has a small message to everyone in Thailand and to our Thai friends in Australia. Wishing everyone a happy and safe Songkran!” the message read.

UNHCR holds exhibition to commemorate 70 years of protecting, helping refugees (nationthailand.com)
What’s onDec 18. 2020
By The Nation
Forced displacement of people globally has nearly doubled in the past decade, with nearly 80 million or one in every 100 people becoming refugees.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is marking its 70th anniversary with an exhibition at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) to recognise the support it has received from all sectors in Thailand and across the world.
The UNHCR was formally entrusted with its mandate on December 14, 1950, and since then, it has been working to protect people forced to flee, provide humanitarian assistance and solutions to millions worldwide. There are more than 17,000 people working for the UNHCR in 135 countries.

UNHCR was invited by the government in 1975 to commence operations in Thailand in response to the Indochina refugee crisis.
“This is not a moment for celebration as the continuous need for protection and humanitarian assistance highlights the tragic displacement situation in the world today,” said Giuseppe De Vincentiis, UNHCR representative in Thailand.
“However, this anniversary is an opportunity to recognise the dedication, courage, and contributions of those who continue to support, work and collaborate with UNHCR, including the Thai government, NGO partners, civil society, private sectors, media partners, donors and the people of Thailand.”
“It’s has been more than five years since I first went on a mission with UNHCR to report on the refugee crisis,” said Thapanee Eadsrichai, founder of The Reporters, which has raised awareness and funds to support UNHCR.
“As both a member of the media and a human being, I am proud to be able to make a difference to millions of lives regardless of race, religion or belief, which inspires me to keep doing good for society at the local and global level and provides me with a sense of fulfilment.”
The “UNHCR 70th Anniversary Exhibition” is open to the public until December 20 at BACC.

The exhibition will take visitors on a trip through UNHCR’s history, work and achievements over 70 years, refugee stories, core relief items provided during displacement situations, archive footage and stories of people forced to flee around the world. There will also be a daily activity, game and documentary screening supported by UNHCR goodwill ambassador Praya Lundberg, The Standard and National Geographic for participants to enjoy.
