BANGKOK, 14 May 2012-Foreign Minister Mr. Surapong Tovichakchaikul said Bahrain is interested in investing in Thailand particularly in spa and health tourism businesses.
The Foreign Minister said after paying a courtesy visit to His Majesty King Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa that HM was rapturous that Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has visited Bahrain, saying that the two nations have been close since Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra was the Thai Prime Minister.
