From May 5 to 12, 1987, Zhao Puchu attended an international exchange activity of Buddhists in Thailand at the invitation of the World Fellowship of Buddhists. He was royally received by the King of Thailand and religiously by the Sangharaja (the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand). This visit was highly prized for Zhao's great efforts to maintain peace and stability in Asia. The album A Bangkok Diary comprises various poems Zhao composed to record this visit, and features carefully and elegantly written characters. Zhao was then eighty-one years old.
