Thailand has refused to grant a visa to the sister of the Dalai Lama because it does not want to anger China.
Jetsun Pema, younger sister of the Tibetan spiritual leader, was due to be giving a keynote speech at a festival of Tibetan culture in Bangkok.
But the Thai Foreign ministry said her visa request was denied over fears her presence could be linked to politics.
