It was an honor today to join the ordination ceremony of Pol.Sgt. Chakrit Ditpakwaen at Wat Suan Som! We circled the temple three times, threw coins to renounce worldly possessions, and celebrated his acceptance as a monk!

Another great run this weekend with Bangkok Governor Chadchart. Enjoyed singing Sattha with him and our group. Was also a great opportunity to promote our upcoming October 8 🇺🇸 University Fair. Register here! forms.gle/gSiisJ8VB3h6eY…

A thrill & honor to join yesterday’s “Run for Mom” QSNCC! It was a superb race with Governor ชัชชาติ สิทธิพันธุ์ & many friends. I hope Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother had a wonderful birthday & sending her & all Thailand’s mothers very best wishes!

Today, July 4th, Americans celebrate our Independence Day & the ideals of our Founders. We spend time with our families & enjoy picnics, music, parades & fireworks. This year, Lori & I are grateful to share this day with so many Thai & American friends! Happy Birthday America!

I also emphasized that the U.S. did not have a preferred outcome in the election and does not support a party or candidate. We look forward to working with the government that emerges from Thailand’s democratic process. The Thai people alone should choose who governs them. 2/2

I met a group of demonstrators outside U.S. Embassy Bangkok, received their petition and heard their views. I thanked them for coming and reiterated that the U.S. respects the institution of the Thai monarchy and the great esteem in which Thais hold the Royal Family 1/2

🇹🇭🇺🇸have done so much together over the years. Moving & memorable drive on Thailand's 1st international standard highway, built in 1957 as part of our enduring partnership. ถนนมิตรภาพ is 1 more beautiful thread in the amazing tapestry of ties between us.  #190ThaiUS

A great, hot & humid 10 KM race this morning with Governor ชัชชาติ สิทธิพันธุ์ & 1600 friends! Started at mettapracharak hospital and went across Nakhon Pathom. Loved supporting “Run For See”, the amazing hospital team & the inspiring patients. Very special day. - BG #190ThaiUS

I live for the moments where I get to challenge the limits. It’s never guaranteed, it’s never easy. Today was a tough day for me. I pushed myself as hard as I could but sometimes, we must accept that today wasn’t the day to push the barrier to a greater height.

In the past few days I've discovered the city of Boston and I can say I truly enjoyed being here. I really feel the energy of the people and it's great to experience and meet with the community. Two more days until the big day. I can't wait.

Here U.S. Embassy Bangkok we started #Songkran early and with a blast! Huge thank you to the local staff who did an amazing job organizing a truly fun event! It was a fabulous, joyous time. Hope everyone has a great Songkran and healthy, prosperous & wonderful new year! –BG #190ThaiUS

Wonderful to join the U.S. Embassy Bangkok's #Songkran celebration using Thai Sign Language! 🎉🤟🏼 Great to promote inclusivity and honor the diversity of Thai culture together. -BG 🎥🤗 #ThaiSignLanguage #Inclusivity
