The initiative was held during the delegation\u2019s visit to Tokyo, Japan, from 17\u201319 September 2026. It forms part of PRD\u2019s efforts to advance media networks in line with the policy of Ms. Supamas Isarabhakdi, Minister Attached to the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, who places importance on youth participation in government communication to foster awareness, understanding, and positive relations from the individual to the national level.<\/p>\r\n<p>PRD organized the \u201cThai Youth Media Network in Japan: Connecting Thai Stories to the World\u201d event, providing a platform for Thai students and young people studying and living in Japan, including members of the Thai Students\u2019 Association in Japan (TSAJ) and other Thai youth with diverse knowledge, interests, and experiences. The event introduced opportunities for young people to contribute to PRD\u2019s media content and connect with media networks in Japan. Dr. Dhanakorn Srisookhsai, Manager of the Thai Media Fund, also joined the event to exchange views with the participants and support opportunities for young people in communication and media.<\/p>\r\n<p>The PRD Director-General said that Thai youth in Japan possess the knowledge, abilities, and potential to become part of PRD\u2019s network of young communicators. They can play an important role in sharing meaningful stories and promoting friendly relations between Thailand and Japan. She encouraged the young participants to use their potential to inspire others and serve as positive role models for Thai youth, while developing media literacy and maintaining resilience in receiving and using media appropriately.<\/p>\r\n<p>Previously, PRD had provided opportunities for Thai youth in Japan to participate in media production. The works of Ms. Chutimon Suetosak and Mr. Chantit Asarassakorn demonstrate how the perspectives and experiences of the younger generation can be shared through PRD\u2019s media platforms. Their work was also presented to NHK representatives, followed by discussions on opportunities for Thai youth to participate in NHK\u2019s media-related activities in the future.<\/p>\r\n<p>The event also demonstrated PRD\u2019s efforts to provide Thai youth in Japan with opportunities to contribute to communication content for PRD\u2019s English-language media platforms, including NBT World and the SAWASDEE Thailand website (THAILAND.GO.TH). In particular, the \u201cThainess Beyond Borders\u201d column provides a platform for young people to share their stories, experiences, and perspectives of living abroad with audiences in Thailand and around the world.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Manager of the Thai Media Fund expressed readiness to support PRD in expanding communication opportunities for young people. He also emphasized the importance of encouraging the younger generation to play an active role in creating media, developing media literacy, and using media creatively and responsibly.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Thai Youth Media Network in Japan initiative marks another step in building on existing achievements and collaboration, while expanding PRD\u2019s network of Thai youth overseas. It creates sustained opportunities for the younger generation to engage with PRD, share stories about Thailand through their own perspectives, and contribute to strengthening the close and friendly relations between Thailand and Japan.<\/p>\r\n<p>Source: PR Thai Government&nbsp;<\/p><script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.n1ed.com\/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN\" data-ts=\"1789779501865\"><\/script>","photo":"the_post_1789779514.webp","map":null,"location":null,"province":null,"contact_name":null,"contact_address":null,"contact_phone_number":null,"contact_email":null,"start_date":null,"end_date":null,"start_time":null,"end_time":null,"visitors":177,"admin_id":33,"author_id":null,"language_id":1,"master_id":22773,"type":"issue","is_comment":1,"pin_weight":0,"status":"Publish","created_at":"2026-09-19T00:58:34.257000Z","updated_at":"2026-09-19T00:58:34.257000Z"},{"id":22772,"title":"PRD Strengthens Media Cooperation with NHK and JIJI Press","slug":"prd-strengthens-media-cooperation-with-nhk-and-jiji-press","description":null,"action":"detail","value":"<p>Director-General of the Government Public Relations Department (PRD) Ms. Sudruetai Lertkasem and Thai Media Fund Manager Dr. Dhanakorn Srisooksai, along with their delegation, are on a visit to Tokyo, Japan, from 17 to 19 September 2026 to strengthen cooperation with leading Japanese media organizations.<\/p>\r\n<p>During the visit, the delegation had a meeting with NHK executives to exchange views on media development, including creative content for children and media accessibility for vulnerable groups and persons with disabilities. The discussion also covered media content produced by NBT World with the participation of Thai youth in Japan, highlighting how young people can contribute to media and communication.

Under \u201cAmazing Location Thailand: From Scene to Scenic\u201d, TAT is connecting filmmakers and industry professionals with Thailand\u2019s locations, production capabilities, culture, communities and travel experiences that can shape onscreen stories and inspire journeys from them.<\/p>\r\n<p>Mr. Nithee Seeprae, TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications, said, \u201cThailand\u2019s strength as a film location goes beyond scenery and production capability. Its people, culture and communities give each destination character and offer creators a deeper sense of place. Through \u2018Amazing Location Thailand: From Scene to Scenic\u2019, TAT helps bring those stories to the screen and encourage audiences to explore the places and experiences by themselves.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The campaign is part of TAT\u2019s film tourism strategy within the Sub-Culture Economy, one of five pillars under the Amazing 5 Economy framework. It connects two sources of tourism value: attracting international productions to Thailand and using screen content to generate interest in destinations and experiences that audiences see. This approach translates creative activity into travel demand, increasing revenue opportunities for tourism businesses and communities within Thailand\u2019s Visitor Economy.<\/p>\r\n<p>At TIFF 2026, TAT is delivering this strategy through an industry panel, a special Variety Studio interview, a networking reception co-hosted with CULTURED, and a presence at the TIFF 2026 Market. Together, the four activities combine creative dialogue, international media exposure, industry networking and destination discovery.<\/p>\r\n<p>An \u201cAmazing Locations: From Scene to Scenic \u2014 Place as Character: How Thailand Shapes Global Cinema?\u201d industry panel examined how locations become part of the narrative rather than simply serving as backdrop. Thai filmmaker Banjong Pisanthanakun, film producer and executive Cod Satrusayang, and international film producer, curator and industry expert Raymond Phathanavirangoon discussed how Thailand\u2019s landscapes, culture, communities and way of life contribute to storytelling and gives international productions a distinctive sense of place.<\/p>\r\n<p>TAT extended the discussion through a Variety Studio interview produced by Variety Media. The programme explored Thailand as a film location and the relationship between film, place and travel, carrying the campaign\u2019s message beyond on-site engagement at TIFF.<\/p>\r\n<p>Industry connections were also enhanced through a networking reception co-hosted with CULTURED. Over 50 film and entertainment professionals attended, giving TAT a focused setting to update producers, filmmakers and industry representatives on Thailand\u2019s locations, production environment and future opportunities.<\/p>\r\n<p>At the TIFF 2026 Market, TAT presented 10 curated filming routes across Thailand, combining potential film locations with culture, communities and local experiences. The routes give creators a broader view of Thailand as a production setting while showing how on-screen destinations can turn into real-world journeys that audiences will want to experience first-hand.<\/p>\r\n<p>The market presence also reflected wider Team Thailand coordination. TAT was joined by the Department of International Trade Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce and the Thailand Film Office under the Department of Tourism, Ministry of Tourism and Sports. Each presented its respective role and support for the industry, giving international filmmakers a broader perspective of Thailand\u2019s production ecosystem, skilled personnel, infrastructure and facilities.<\/p>\r\n<p>For more information on Thailand\u2019s film locations, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismthailand.org\/amazinglocationth\">www.tourismthailand.org\/amazinglocationth<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Source: TAT News<\/p><script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.n1ed.com\/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN\" data-ts=\"1789698308042\"><\/script>","photo":"the_post_1789698319.webp","map":null,"location":null,"province":null,"contact_name":null,"contact_address":null,"contact_phone_number":null,"contact_email":null,"start_date":null,"end_date":null,"start_time":null,"end_time":null,"visitors":171,"admin_id":33,"author_id":null,"language_id":1,"master_id":22771,"type":"issue","is_comment":1,"pin_weight":0,"status":"Publish","created_at":"2026-09-18T02:25:19.507000Z","updated_at":"2026-09-18T02:25:19.507000Z"},{"id":22770,"title":"Thailand and China Share AI Working Experience for Communication Under PRD-Xinhua Cooperation","slug":"thailand-and-china-share-ai-working-experience-for-communication-under-prd-xinhua-cooperation","description":null,"action":"detail","value":"<p>The Public Relations Department (PRD) and Xinhua News Agency are continuing their cooperation on digital media development, with Xinhua specialist Li Qince sharing practical expertise in artificial intelligence with PRD personnel.
