Thai PM: Israeli Visitors Welcome, but Must Comply With Thai Laws

BANGKOK, November 9, 2026 — Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has told Israeli Ambassador to Thailand Alona Fisher-Kamm that Israeli nationals visiting Thailand must comply with the country’s laws and regulations, stressing that legal requirements will be enforced equally against all foreign visitors regardless of nationality.

Anutin made the remarks during a meeting with Fisher-Kamm at the Thai Khu Fah Building at Government House on November 9, 2026. The meeting covered bilateral relations, economic opportunities and cooperation across several sectors.
