Arctic tech on display in Sattahip

- APINYA WIPATAYOTIN

The arrival of China's cutting-edge research icebreaker, Xue Long 2, at Chuk Samet Port in Sattahip yesterday marks a milestone for scientific collaboration between Thailand and China.

The vessel's visit is expected to ignite curiosity and ambition among young Thai scientists, offering a glimpse into the exploration of Antarctica, one of Earth's last uncharted frontiers.

Originally scheduled to return to China by late May after departing Antarctica on April 20, Xue Long 2 made a special detour to Thailand from May 19 to 23 to commemorate two historic occasions: the 70th birthday of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and the 50th anniversary of Thailand-China diplomatic relations.

During its stay, the public will have a rare opportunity to tour the ship and learn about its role in over 40 polar research expeditions.
