She will spend her first day visiting Myanmar community in Samut Sakorn province.
This three-day visit is her second after she was released from house arrest, but her first as a cabinet member.
"A may Suu kyan mar par say!" (May you be healthy, Mother Suu!)
With hands full of red roses, Myanmar migrant workers rehearsed their joyful cheering to "Mother Suu", or Myanmar State Counsellor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi, who will visit Talad Talay Thai Hall in Samut Sakhon this late afternoon to meet with people of her homeland. #SuuKyi

Many of them express dissatisfaction, though, as they try but find no opportunity to meet her up close.
