The Embassy have learned from the meeting with the Thai people that their working and living environment are in good condition due to attentive care from their employers. As for S.Khonkaen’s employees, the business partnership between S.KhonKaen and Paruzel Company is functioning very smoothly.

The Embassy has been informed by the manager that the Salon is the only Thai traditional massage salon in Zakopane although the city is regarded as one of the main tourist destinations in Poland. Similar to those in Katowice, all Thai people working in this Salon also have good and friendly living conditions. In this occasion, the Ambassador also gave commemorative coins which celebrate the 85^th Birthday Anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej to the Thai community in Katowice and Zakopane.
