“ Indo- Thai bilateral relationship is rooted in history , age old social and cultural interactions and extensive people to people contacts. The shared link of Buddhism is reflected in regular pilgrimages to places of Buddhist interest in India by a large number of Thai people . Hindu elements can be found among those reflected in Thai architecture, arts, sculpture, dance, drama and literature. A large Indian diaspora living and working in Thailand is another important bond. India’s “Act East” policy has been complemented by Thailand’s ‘Act West’ policy in inching the two nations closer,” she added.
Incidentally, West Bengal contributes the largest numbers of tourists to Thailand from India which is almost 30 percent.
