Thaïlande

Thailand is currently newsworthy due to two distinct events. Firstly, a former member of the Thai royal guard, known as 'Mamie Tik,' is being profiled for her successful street food business in Bordeaux, France. Her unique background, including her service in the Thai royal guard and marriage to a cook of former French President Giscard d'Estaing, contributes to her notability. Secondly, Bangkok, Thailand, has been selected as the host city for the inaugural Eurovision Asia competition in November 2026. This event, a collaboration between Eurovision organizers and Asian production companies, aims to expand the Eurovision brand to a new audience, with an anticipated viewership of 600 million. The selection of Bangkok highlights Thailand's growing role as a hub for international events and its increasing cultural significance in Asia.
