On September 15, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., Police Major Yutthana Praedam, Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), designated Police Captain Wisanu Chimtragool, Deputy Director-General, to preside over the opening of the 'Diplomatic Protocol & Global Etiquette' training. Police Captain Thinavudth Silapat, Director of the Foreign Affairs and Transnational Crime Bureau, delivered the opening report at Training Room 601, located on the 6th floor of the DSI headquarters in Building C of the Government Complex Commemorating His Majesty the King. The event was attended by 62 participants, including executives, civil servants, and personnel from various DSI divisions, alongside officials from the Foreign Affairs Division of the Ministry of Justice's Office of the Permanent Secretary. The training falls under the action plan of the DSI’s working group dedicated to elevating the efficiency of foreign affairs operations within the Foreign Affairs and Transnational Crime Bureau.

Its primary goal is to enhance the participants' knowledge and skills in international protocols and global etiquette. It also provides guidelines for appropriate personal conduct for representatives, attendees, and accompanying officials of Thai government agencies operating in multicultural environments. The session featured Mr. Panthachak Wongpreecha, CEO of The Diplomat Network, as the guest of honor. A former diplomat and seasoned expert in diplomatic protocol, global etiquette, communication, and personality development, he shared invaluable insights with the attendees. His lectures covered two main topics: 'Understanding the Changing World and Knowing How to Conduct Oneself in an International Business Environment' (Mega Trends & Global Etiquette) and 'Correctness in Protocols, Receptions, Order of Precedence, Socializing, and Table Manners' (International Protocol & Dining Etiquette).

The training equipped participants with practical knowledge of international protocols and dining etiquette applicable to their official duties, ultimately fostering professionalism and boosting confidence in both the DSI and Thailand on the global stage.
