Superstar Pacquiao, nicknamed the "Pac-Man", is making a one-day trip from his home country the Philippines. Pacquiao is scheduled to meet the Thai Prime Minister Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva at the Government House at 16:00.

Pacquiao recently beat British boxer Ricky Hatton by a knockout in Las Vegas, adding the IBO light welterweight belt to his impressive collection of world titles. Upon returning home on May 8, the Filipino superstar was greeted to a heroes welcome with a grand celebration and warm welcome from Filipino President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

According to the earlier reports, Pacquiao was scheduled to travel to Thailand for a one-day trip on May 21, but San Miguel, however, recently announced that the Filipino boxer would not come to Thailand on the planned date due to a schedule conflict with an event at home and "certain domestic issues".
