Arnaud Germann

Embassy of Switzerland in Thailand

Public Diplomacy & Culture Officer

Arnaud grew up in Geneva, Switzerland and moved to Bangkok in 2023, where he works at as the Public Diplomacy, Culture and Education Officer at the Embassy of Switzerland in Thailand.

Through his work, Arnaud manages the Swiss Cultural Fund Thailand, meaning he helps secure funding and shape the cultural program the Embassy supports and/or organizes. That includes everything from contemporary art, film, design to, of course, music.

While Switzerland might be better known for mountains and chocolate, Arnaud works to make sure its creative scene gets just as much attention. Often, this means highlighting artists who draw on the country’s rich mix of languages – French, Swiss German dialects, Italian, even Romansh – and finding ways to connect those voices to the dynamic Thai music ecosystem. Turns out, you don’t need to speak the same language when the beat hits right.
