While you step out from indulging in all the amazing food, there are tons of family-friendly activities that showcase the rich and vibrant culture of Thailand. 

Here are the activities at the event:

1. Krathong Folding Workshop

Krathong, which translate loosely to “tiny raft” in Thai term is a circular floating sculpture made from banana leaves, flowers, candles and incense sticks.

In Thai tradition, people will release a Krathong down a river during the full moon. An indication of letting go of their misfortunes. Some would add items like a coin, a piece from a clothing for personal effects.

A professional  will be there to teach a tutorial on how to make your own Krathong. However, the workshop will be limited to 200 pax, so you better queue up early!

2. Make your own traditional Thai desserts

Everyone loves a good snack. Here’s your chance to learn how to make your own!

Look Chup
A dessert derived from Marzipan, a recipe from Portugal that’s called massapao which is made from almonds. Since the nut doesn’t grow in Thailand, it’s replaced by Mung beans.

Although Look Chup take the form of pickled fruits and veggies, they’re actually sweets!

Miang Kham
Translated into “one bite wrap”, this dish was originally introduced to the royal court. Now, it’s one of the most popular street food in Thailand.

It mainly consists of raw fresh Piper sarmentosum leaves, filled with roasted coconut shavings with the main ingredients being chopped into smaller pieces for an easy-bite.

A good Miang Kham will give you a nice sweet tang with a bit of spicy punch that’ll keep you coming back for more.

3. Beat your friends and family at an arcade game

Relive the good old days where beating someone’s high-score on Tetris was the most important part of your life. There will be an arcade area installed, where you can let loose or introduce the younger kids to an old school game!

You don’t even have to bring a spare change, it’s all free of charge.

4. Ask for a balloon animal from the nice Clown

Clowns can be scary, but this one will put a smile on your face. There will be a walk around clown to entertain you with cool animal balloons. Instead of the typical colourful clown outfit, they’re going to don a Traditional Thai outfit!
