PM Paetongtarn uses AI to speak Chinese, assuring tourists of safety in Thailand. Enhanced security and warm invitations mark 50 years of Thai-Chinese diplomacy

The Government House on Wednesday released a video of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, which utilised AI technology to convert her voice into Chinese. The video aims to reassure Chinese tourists that Thailand is a safe destination to visit.

The 1-minute 32-second clip was shared on the Thai Ku Fah Facebook page of the Government House at 10:09 am, following concerns circulating on Chinese social media about Thailand’s safety for Chinese visitors.

Warnings about visiting Thailand have been widely shared among Chinese social media users after reports emerged of Chinese entertainers being lured by call-centre gangs to work in Thailand, only to be kidnapped across the border. These individuals were later rescued after their stories gained attention in both Thailand and China.In the video, Paetongtarn explained that she used AI to deliver her message in Chinese to ensure better understanding among Chinese viewers. The video includes Thai subtitles.

Paetongtarn reassured Chinese tourists that her government has enhanced security measures for foreign visitors and developed a system to provide immediate assistance to Chinese tourists.

She also invited Chinese tourists to visit Thailand during their long holidays for the Chinese New Year. Paetongtarn highlighted that 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Thailand and China and expressed Thailand’s warm welcome to Chinese visitors.
