Overview
The Public Diplomacy Office of the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok advises the U.S. Ambassador on issues of public diplomacy, including media relations, and is headed by the Counselor for Public Affairs. The Section conducts information and cultural programs on behalf of the U.S. Government in Thailand and is undertaken in cooperation with the bureaus supervised by the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.
Public Engagement
The Public Engagement provides educational and cultural services listed separately on this home page. We work closely with the other elements of the U.S. Mission as well as with many Thai organizations to encourage broader understanding of the United States and its relationship with Thailand. Through seminars, exhibits, speakers and other programs, the Section encourages the sharing of ideas between Thais and Americans on a wide variety of topics.
For more information about our individual programs, please visit our main Education and Exchanges page.
General information on public diplomacy and public affairs can be found at the homepage of the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) and Bureau of Global Public Affairs (GPA).
