Cultural exchange: Miss Universe Côte d'Ivoire visits Thailand!

On Friday, October 31, 2025, the Thai Minister of Culture, Ms. Sabida Thai-seth, will receive a very special delegation. Visiting are Ms. Patcharapimol Yangpapakorn, the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire in Thailand, and Ms. Olivia Yacé, the newly crowned Miss Universe Côte d'Ivoire 2025. The occasion? An exchange on promoting cultural relations between Thailand and Côte d'Ivoire within the framework of the Miss Universe 2025 competition to be held in Thailand. The Minister warmly congratulated Olivia Yacé on her appointment and her role as Tourism Ambassador for Côte d’Ivoire.

The focus of the discussions was the importance of international beauty pageants to promote Thailand's cultural identity. The minister emphasized her ministry's willingness to further expand cultural cooperation with Côte d'Ivoire. Olivia Yacé expressed gratitude for the hospitality of the Thai government and people, and emphasized the inspiration she draws from Thai culture and kindness. She reiterated her commitment to promoting Thai culture internationally.

Cultural highlights and investments

A special highlight of the opening of the Thailand Biennale in Phuket 2025 on November 29th, which takes place after the Miss Universe 2025 selection on November 21st. Here the cultural bridges between Thailand and other nations are further strengthened. The minister also addressed the initiative to encourage tourists and the public to wear traditional Thai clothing correctly during festivals and events, which underlines the authenticity and respect for the culture.

In a completely different area, but also inspiring, is the culinary offering that Phuket has to offer. A popular destination for locals and tourists is the Pizza Ira restaurant. Located in Al-Zubair bin Al-Awwam district of Riyadh, it offers a wide range of pizzas from traditional to specialty versions. The use of fresh ingredients ensures an excellent taste, which has already earned many positive reviews.

A taste experience in Phuket

The high population density in the region makes Pizza Ira a popular choice for family meals as well as gatherings with friends. Guests can look forward to a fast and pleasant service experience complemented by special flavors and special offers. A visit here is not only a culinary but also a social experience.

In terms of business development, Google's commitment is worth mentioning. Their programs help people build their digital skills and explore new career opportunities in AI. With offerings like the Google for Startups Growth Academy, business founders can also learn how to use AI in areas such as education, health and cybersecurity.

In summary, it can be seen that both cultural and culinary highlights are very popular in Phuket. While the minister is focusing on strengthening international relations, gastronomic offerings such as Pizza Ira also have a lot to offer. Google's digital developments could also serve as a springboard for many people into their future careers.
