The Kingdom of Thailand on Monday opened a consular office in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The office, which will provide visa services to Chinese applicants going to Thailand for sight-seeing, non-migration purposes or just for a stopover, will facilitate exchanges between Guangxi and Thailand.
China and Thailand agreed in 2005 to establish a Thai consular institution in Nanning.
