Overview of the cultural hall

The 400-capacity venue will be the go-to spot for the Vietnamese community in Udon Thani, hosting major events like Vietnam’s National Day and President Ho Chi Minh’s birthday celebrations.

Vietnamese Consul General in Khon Kaen Dinh Hoang Linh, in his speech, described the hall as a hub for cultural and community activities of the overseas Vietnamese (OVs), calling its completion a fitting tribute to Ho Chi Minh, a national liberation hero and distinguished man of culture.

He praised the Vietnamese community and the memorial site’s management board for their dedication to keeping the late President’s cultural legacy alive, urging them to continue fostering unity and sharing Vietnamese cultural values with Thai locals and international visitors.

The event also saw significant support from Vietnamese philanthropists in Udon Thani and neighboring Nong Khai province who donated over 1 million THB to give the project a serious boost.
