Mrs. Laila Ammed Bahaaeldin, Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the Kingdom of Thailand said,she had a chance to travel to the Royal Initiative Projects in Chiang Mai and Buriram. Those projects in both provinces were truly remarkable because local villagers in those provinces had amazing agricultural concepts that can be applied in agriculture operations in other countries. She would like to encourage all international tourists to visit various tourist attractions for following the King's Philosophy. She could guarantee that all tourists would get unforgettably unique learning experiences. If all tourists focused on taking a sightseeing tour of Bangkok without visiting other provinces in Thailand,they would never experience the authentic lifestyle of Thai people.

Mr. James Leonard Andersen,Ambassador Representative of New Zealand to the Kingdom of Thailand mentioned that the trip to follow the King's Wisdom in Rayong Provinces was truly unique travel experience because he experienced the authentic lifestyle of Thai people and had an opportunity to communicate with local villagers in the community.

She felt like it could relieve her own stress and maintain her health. Local villagers in the communities were friendly and appreciative of King Rama IX who developed the Royal Initiative Projects that have improved their own lives.

Mr. Tugsbilguun Tumurkhuleg,Ambassador of Mongolia to the Kingdom of Thailand said that he had participated in activities in Rayong and Chiang Mai. He was delightful that he had enjoyable and beneficial travel experiences based on King Bhumibol's Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy,which is a fundamental factor for Sustainable Tourism and Sustainable Living.

Mr. Patrick Simiyu Wamoto,Ambassador of the Republic of Kenya to the Kingdom of Thailand,revealed thatthe King's Wisdom made him feel like he had a connection with King Rama IX. He had a great opportunity to realize King Rama IX's objectives of the Royal Initiative Projects. He and his wife had always been looking for Ecotourism.
