The ambassador of Thailand to Pakistan, Chakkird Krachaiwong, said that his nation was eager to collaborate with Pakistan on sustainable tourism because they have a lot of experience in the field.
We would like to share our wealth of tourism experience with Pakistan to promote sustainable travel there. He mentioned this while speaking to the executive body of the Multan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) yesterday. “We are now looking forward to working with Punjab and other provinces for it,” he said. He added that he wanted more and more people to visit Pakistan so they could see for themselves the kindness and hospitality of Pakistanis.
He said that tourist police could be formed to deal with tourists because regular police did not know how to deal with them. After all, they can only deal with robbery and other routine crimes.

I share part of my travel knowledge to Pakistan, and I’ll also write an essay about Multan that I hope will be printed in Thailand. Insisted Mr. Chakkird.
