Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
I had a great time yesterday, I went to the Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair. It was a great event with fabulous entertainment, terrific Issan singer who got all the Thai ladies up on their feet dancing! It was a huge event with loads of Thai's from all over the UK. The food stalls were fantastic with true authentic Thai food. There was a large bar area with Chang and Singha. Thai boxing...well sort of I suppose as much a health and safety will allow here. The weather was lovely, so all in all a great success. It apparently is getting bigger every year, so it is a definite event to go to, if you are in the UK next August, make a note on your calendar.
I took some pictures which I will put on later

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
I had been thinking about going myself, but it slipped my mind until about 8 yesterday evening when a friend told me what a great time he'd had.
Next big festivals that I know about are the Thai-British Bank Holiday Fair, on the Village Showground, Kings Bromley DE13 7JF on 28 Aug 11 www.anglo-thai.org ; and the Thai Cultural Day, at Brangwyn Hall, Swansea on 2 Oct 11. Both festivals should be just as good - we've already got our tickets, so we won't forget this time.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Thanks caller, some good links there. However, I didn't see any reference to the Thai Cultural Association of Wales event.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
For those that can't get out to Thailand this year. A date to remember to mark on your calendar. Thai Summer Festival in Bournemouth. It takes place Sunday 4th of August at Kings Park, Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset. BH7 6LR. A really good event, not to be missed! I am posting this early for those that might want to combine a mini break with the fair, so will need to book a hotel in advance. If you cannot make this one, there is another in September a few miles down the road in Poole.

You should start a separate thread about that process Pharvey. Has the LHG lived there before?pharvey wrote:I'm getting relocated back to the UK August('ish), so could well try and have a look at the event in Poole - thanks for posting Siani

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
You can just be so hurtful sometimes Terry... As it happens, there's a "supplier" on the mine site here in Vietnam - I could swing past the Fishing Lodge on the way back to China to test some samples??Terry wrote:Don't forget your fireworks.
Well obviously the LHG is Chinese rather than Thai, but there's not going to be much diference with regards to the applications.....prcscct wrote:You should start a separate thread about that process Pharvey. Has the LHG lived there before?
The LHG has been to the UK on several occasions, but for never more than a 2-3 week visit. She's still currently using a 5 year multi-entry visa which entitles her to a 6 month stay each time. We're looking at various options, but will ultimately be applying for a settlement visa - whether this is done in China or the UK remains to be seen.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that can be done in the UK - I've know a couple of Thais who tried, and were forced back to Thailand to make the application.pharvey wrote:will ultimately be applying for a settlement visa - whether this is done in China or the UK remains to be seen.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
That's my understanding BB, can't be done in the UK, unless already in the UK for other reasons for a period of at least 5 years.

Re: Bournemouth Thai Summer Fair
Don't worry, it was an important point to pharvey, which I didn't want him to get wrong as it could have been very costly for him. I expect it to return to subject now.
