Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Returning to topic, do you know desythai (who I believe is organising this and other festivals in the UK this year)? Her prices are quite expensive, and I wonder who the profits are going to. If you look at her website, she organises some dubious Thai (Gentlemen guest only) parties at extortionate prices.
She calls herself an entrepeneur, but I can think of other titles.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Apologies for the above, I've just been reminding myself about desythai, and it seems she is NOT organising the Bournemouth Festival this year.

I think the Poole show is bigger than the Bournemouth one Kendo...have a look at the youtube video in my last post. It is on for 2 days as well, making it a bigger event. I just looked at the weather for tomorrow and it looks ok, maybe the odd shower....like Thailand LOL!
Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
I've been looking at photos - looks as though the weather held off, and a good day was had by all. One observation though - probably the most unladylike ladyboys ever e.g.:

[color=#000080 Thanks BB ]It was a good event..shame it rained on the second day. A huge turn out in a lovely place, it looks as though everyone enjoyed it. [/color]
Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
These events look quite impressive, didn't realise there are such large Thai communities in the UK.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
When Mrs BB moved to the UK back in 1990, it took us 6 months to find another Thai living there.
When we left in 2012, there seemed to be a couple of Thais living in every road - yes, a very large Thai community.

Do we really need to when we have great big permanent homages such as Asiatique and Veniziea ?buksida wrote: Can you imagine a bunch of farangs being allowed to setup a festival to promote their own countries here ...
Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
I think it is rather nice to have events like these. What a boring world we would live in if we didn't. Also, not everyone can afford to go on holiday let alone live in Thailand So it does give a "glimpse" of what people are like from these countries.Pleng wrote:Do we really need to when we have great big permanent homages such as Asiatique and Veniziea ?buksida wrote: Can you imagine a bunch of farangs being allowed to setup a festival to promote their own countries here ...
How lovely it is for other cultures to bring events like this to our country. The smiling faces on the children, the food tasting, dancing, music....why not?? Also they have raised a great sum of money for charity. It's only once a year in our town and the same in in the next town.
Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Buksi, similar events are held up and down the Country all through the summer months. If so desired and prepared to travel, you could probably attend one most weekends.
When my wife came to the UK, apart from making friends from forums, she met 2/3 Thais who lived within a few minutes walk! One by responding to a work advert in a shop window and both her and her husband became good friends. There is a massive Thai community in the UK. On pretty much every trip I have made over to Thailand in the last few years, I have met up with UK friends / fellow forum members, who were in Thailand at the same time. Such get togethers have taken place in Bangkok, Hua Hin and most recently, in Korat.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Haven't set foot in the UK for 16 years and have no intention of doing so in the near future. Just curious as when I grew up there Thai people in the UK were virtually unheard of!

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
I don't think they were unheard of I think maybe when we were younger they were just "Asians" to us....we had a lot of Vietnamese boat people who arrived in the 70's, it is not easy for everyone to distinguish Thai people from Vietnamese people.buksida wrote:Haven't set foot in the UK for 16 years and have no intention of doing so in the near future.

Also I remember the show the "King & I" which was filmed in 1951...I knew it as Siam then
