Czechoslovakia and Hungary

King Prajatibok expressed clearly that he wanted to rest in Austria,
Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Like the official reception of the Siamese King
43
in Germany, which had been initiated by the German side, the proposal for an
official visit to the head of state came from the Czech envoy in London, Jan

Masaryk, a son of Czechoslovakia’s first President Tomas Masaryk. Governor
Horthy also made the same offer for Hungary. In Prague and Budapest, the
44
governments organized grand receptions for Their Majesties of Siam.
