Thai Festival, Battersea Park

[Bazle 1,501]

For anyone in London, don't forget the Thai Festival is on today. The weather is dry but overcast, but I'm sure there will be things there to brighten up the gloom.

A few pictures

 

There were loads of stalls selling food. What I had was both good and cheap.

 

In one case, I wasn’t sure what was on sale.

 

There was also drink from the InterBev Group, one of the Festival’s sponsors

 

WestEast Travel had a stand.

 

Massage was available

 

Inevitably, there was an opportunity to buy property in Thailand (and other foreign lands)

 

I think Health & Safety must have heard about the Bangkok riots!

 

A meeting of a sub-committee of the Anglo Thai Mutual Appreciation Society, perhaps?

 

I loved this website address (and the slogan on the girl’s teeshirt)

 

There was a small stage with a variety of entertainment throughout the day.

 

The lovely hostess

Joe Louis puppeteers

These guys decided to provide some off-stage entertainment

 

Being given away was the 31st issue of the Amthai Paper - “The First Thai Newspaper in the UK and Europe”

Take a bit more than sunshine to brighten up the Gloom in London, for some reason I could not see the photos
