Radio Australia’s ‘Asia Pacific’ current affairs program will
broadcast a series of specials focusing on Thailand live from Bangkok this week.

Two highlights of the week’s ‘Asia Pacific: Focus on Thailand’ programming
will be:

Information
and Broadcasting in the Asia-Pacific Region on Tuesday 27 May, and

* a special half-hour panel discussion, ‘Exploring Australian-Thai
Relations’,
on Thursday 29 May at 5pm Bangkok time.

Head of Radio Australia, Jean-Gabriel Manguy told radioinfo: , “We have been interested in taking ‘Asia Pacific’ to Bangkok for some time
now. Thailand is at the heart of much of the political, social and cultural
changes shaping the region and we expect the ‘Asia Pacific: Focus on Thailand’ specials
will deliver exciting, thought-provoking content to our listeners.”
