I have always been interested in different cultures, travel, religions, customs, foods, etc. This weekend here in Phoenix there was a Thai Cultural event. It is the Fifth Annual Thai Cultural Day Festival and took place at the Heritage & Science Park. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. I had no one to go with so I went by myself. There were booths with a showcase of sites to visit in Thailand, Thai food, products of Thailand, and information on Thailand.
I didn't make it to the opening ceremonies that included the Thai Ambassador to the U.S. and other city elected officials, but I did get to see some of the dances and hear classical music played on unique Thai instruments. Throughout the grounds there was a showcase of gold, fuchsia, pink and green rice paper umbrellas of all sizes.
I parked at the garage under Heritage Square Park which I thought was overpriced at $10, but I couldn't find any street parking. I went to the Saturday, 10/27/2007 event. I wanted to return today Sunday, but had to work and already had evening plans. Next year I'll be going to the whole event from start to finish.
