AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

International Arts: Valentine Willie, a major Southeast Asian gallerist and collector who helped shape the region’s modern art scene through his Valentine Willie Fine Art gallery, has died at 71. Film & Culture: CGTN’s picks for the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival highlight cross-border stories from Asia, Latin America and Africa, underscoring how cinema travels culture. Tourism & Money Talk: A new “Thai Baht Accepted Here” sticker campaign in Bangkok has sparked confusion and jokes from foreign visitors, who say it’s already obvious—turning a payment issue into a culture-and-bureaucracy debate. Public Life & Faith: Pattaya officials handed a foreign national found begging inside Wat Chaimongkol to immigration authorities after a temple-area inspection. Science & Place: GISTDA used LiDAR to reveal the “Eye of Thailand,” a circular floating island-like formation hidden under vegetation in Pathum Thani. Education & Skills: Thailand and China are expanding vocational training cooperation under a “210 Majors” plan to build one million future-ready workers, with AI and digital skills at the center. Wellness Spotlight: Thailand’s Tourism Authority unveiled a “Value over Volume” wellness-focused strategy at TTM+ 2026 in Pattaya. Safety & Diplomacy: A U.S. diplomat was found dead in Myanmar, with reports that police detained a Thai woman in connection with the investigation.
