After a year's absence&ldots;.The Thai Festival is back! The Thai
Festival has been running for over 10 years; organised by the Thai-UK
Trust it continues to be a celebration of culture and lifestyle to
promote 'all things Thai'.
The Thai-UK Trust, which was registered as a UK charity in 2006
(Registration No: 1114746), is a non-profit, not sectarian and non-government
trust, set up to relieve hardship in both Thailand and the UK. The
head of the Trust is Pantipa Tirrell (Paleewong) a long standing
member of the Thai-UK community and Co-Founder of Entbe Ltd (1976 -
2009).
Pantipa organised The Thai Festival in 2004 and 2008. Both were a
massive success with record breaking attendances and donated money to
both Thai and UK charities. In 2006, the trust organised a ball to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of The King of Thailand's accession to
the throne, raising money for the Chaipattana Foundation.
This year's Thai Festival expects to see many new faces along with
their regulars!
