THE MOST CHARISMATIC CONSUL - GENERAL WHO FLY US ALL TO 'THE ENCHANTING LAND OF SMILES'

From building strong international relations to promoting the interests of their home country or fostering the commercial affairs of its citizens in a foreign land – it’s no doubt that the position of a Consul - General is one that requires a certain Skill, Calibre and Dynamism.

Their diplomatic services are not just key resources of information and assistance for nationals and business people and their families who are on international assignment, but nationals of the home country turn to the Consul - General for any assistance when they are visiting other countries and cities. Given the dynamism that the role requires, they need to have a strong grasp of the host country's politics, society and culture.

While these qualities are customary, a few like His Excellency Nitirooge Phoneprasert, Consul-General of Thailand in Chennai, are able to live it, taste the experience to the utmost and reach out proactively for newer and richer experiences. Clearly, he is someone who Thinks ahead, Acts ahead and Gets ahead!

From his early days, His Excellency Nitirooge Phoneprasert possessed an abiding interest and passion for the art and craft of diplomacy and international relations. Having graduated in Political science and holding a Master of Arts in International Affairs from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, he has invested time, energy and effort in his professional development.

Upon passing the foreign service exam of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has been representing Thailand with pride and honor across various regions and terrains. Prior to his position in India, he has represented his nation in the Philippines, Germany, Malaysia, and Peru. Speaking about his experiences in India, he considers fortunate to be in India and is truly mesmerized by the culture, people, hospitality, and business acumen in people here. Given the similarities of both nations in various aspects, he finds India to be Home away From Home, truly.
