After the id prayer was completed, the event continued with a meeting with Indonesian Ambassador to Thailand Rachmat Budiman and Mrs. Tanty Rachmat Budiman at the Indonesian Ambassador Guesthouse Bangkok. The silaturahmi activities are not only followed by Indonesian Muslims, but also by non-Muslim and friends in Thailand.
