BANGKOK — The foreign ministry is finally catching up with the 21st century. 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said its first-ever podcast show, “Talk With Ambassadors,” was launched on Wednesday. It’s the first segment in the series that will feature Thai ambassadors talking about their experience in dealing with the coronavirus in the countries they’re posted.

A spokesman for the ministry also teased that an English edition might follow.
