Madam Pang, President of the Football Association of Thailand, has arrived in Hanoi to attend the friendly match between Vietnam U17 Women's Team and Thailand U17 Women's Team.
After completing her work schedule, she moved to Noi Bai airport to return home on the evening of April 3. Madam Pang enjoyed dinner with Hanoi chicken pho.
She shared a video recording this moment with the comment that pho was the best, to the point of " wanting to package and bring it home".
In the video, Madam Pang continuously nodded and signaled "OK", clearly expressing her satisfaction with the flavor of the loour.
Before eating, she squeeze some lemon as a habit of Vietnamese diners and add a lot of fresh chili - a popular act of the Thai people that has a spicy taste.
The female president pronounces the two words Vietnamese quite clearly "pho" and "ha Noi", making many netizens excited.
Within just 12 hours of being posted, the video attracted nearly 15,000 likes and more than 1,000 comments.

Many people expressed their hope that Madam Pang will have more visits to Hanoi to explore the city's rich cuisine. In addition, netizens also introduced famous chicken pho restaurants in the capital such as Cham chicken pho, Nguyet chicken pho, Tien chicken pho, Huyen Huong chicken pho...
Many international tourists also choose to enjoy pho at the airport at times when they do not have much time. Famous Thai actress Mai Davika, also known as a "ghostess", once ate beef stew at Tan Son Nhat airport before her return flight in September 2023.
