YOUR TELNOS 505 TO BANGKOK AND 210 TO PHNOM PENH : TRANSITS BY MR
GOODLAD
1. THANK YOU FOR THESE DETAILS. WE WILL ARRANGE VIP FACILITIES ON
ALL OCCASIONS.
26/8.
2. ON 13 SEPTEMBER I WILL BE IN THE UK, BUT DAVID FALL WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PARTY, WHO WILL OF COURSE BE WELCOME TO MAKE USE OF THE RESIDENCE. AS IT WILL BE SUNDAY, AND THE DAY OF THE GENERAL ELECTION, THERE WILL BE NO OPPORTUNITY FOR CONTACT WITH THAI MINISTERS OR OFFICIALS. THE LATE AFTERNOON ARRIVAL ALSO PRECLUDES MUCH SIGHTSEEING, BUT SOME SHOPPING COULD BE ORGANISED IMPROMPTU.
3. ON 18 SEPTEMBER THE STOPOVER WILL BE TOO SHORT TO MAKE IT WORTH RISKING THE JOURNEY INTO TOWN. I SUGGEST THAT WE BOOK ROOMS AT THE AIRPORT HOTEL FOR THE PARTY TO FRESHEN UP, AND THAT I ARRANGE LUNCH THERE.
4. THE TRANSIT ON 23 SEPTEMBER COULD BE A USEFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR A FIRST CONTACT WITH THE NEW THAI GOVERNMENT, WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL HAVE TAKEN OFFICE BY THEN. I HAD THOUGHT OF SUGGESTING A CALL ON THE FOREIGN MINISTER IN THE AFTERNOON, AND AN EARLY SUPPER WITH A FEW INTERESTING THAIS AND SOME AMBASSADORS, BUT THE CALL COULD EASILY BE OMITTED IF THE MINISTER PREFERS.
5. PLEASE CONFIRM THAT THESE ARRANGEMENTS ARE IN ORDER AND LET ME
KNOW OF ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR A REPLY ON THE PROPOSED DINNER ON 23 SEPTEMBER BY 27 AUGUST SO THAT I CAN PUT ARRANGEMENTS IN HAND BEFORE I LEAVE FOR THE UK.
