On 4 December 2014, the Royal Thai Embassy hosted a reception to celebrate the auspicious occasion of the 87^th Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the National Day of Thailand at Swissotel Ankara. The event was presided over by His Excellency Mr. Tharit Charungvat, Ambassador of Thailand, with the presence of His Excellency Mr. Ali Naci Koru, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey, as the guest of honour. The event was attended by approximately 300 people which included representatives from the Turkish government, private sector, press,  academics, Diplomatic corps accredited in Ankara and Thais residing in Ankara.

      During the official ceremony, Ambassador Charungvat delivered a speech reiterating the increasing closer ties between Thailand and Turkey, particularly in the economic and social dimension, as seen by the increased  investment and  trade volume between the two countries and the increased number of  Bangkok - Istanbul direct flights by Turkish Airlines. Deputy Minister Koru also gave remarks commemorating the birthday of His Majesty the King and expressed his hope for the continuation of the close, progressive and longstanding Thai - Turkish relations.

    This year's National Day reception was also joined by C.P. Turkiye, a Thai global conglomerate specializing in agribusiness who organized a booth to display CP food products and gave out sample foods from CP products for attendees to taste.
