On 10 July 2026, the Irish-Thai Chamber of Commerce was honoured to host a farewell luncheon for Ambassador Pat Bourne and Mrs Sonali Rajasingham Bourne at the RBSC Polo Club.

As Patron of the Irish-Thai Chamber of Commerce, Ambassador Pat has been a great supporter of the Chamber and its mission to strengthen business and community ties between Ireland and Thailand. Throughout their time in Thailand, Ambassador Pat and Mrs Sonali have been wonderful friends of the Chamber. We are truly grateful for their friendship, support, and the many contributions they have made to the ITCC and the wider Irish community.

On behalf of the Irish-Thai Chamber of Commerce, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Ambassador Pat and Mrs Sonali and wish them every success, happiness, and good health in the next chapter of their journey.
