Prime Minister Saita said that Thailand is based on local culture to promote the development of soft power, and hopes to build Thailand into a "festival capital" and a "world festival center". In the eyes of foreigners, Thailand is a city worth exploring with its bustling life, rich life and delicious food. In addition, Thailand has a number of temples and a bustling nightlife, with a variety of night markets, street food, and shopping malls to cater to all types of tourists.
