Gallery: Magic and massages as Thai culture visits Parker’s Piece
The magic of Thailand was there for all to see over the course of two fun-packed days in central Cambridge.
Magic of Thailand, previously known as Cambridge Thai Festival, took place last Saturday and Sunday (August 3 and 4) and included cookery demonstrations, Thai boxing, children’s rides, a costume parade, traditional Thai music and dancing, and the chance to enjoy a Thai massage.
Daniel Biggs, one of the organisers and co-owner of Magic of Thailand – the company behind the festival – with his partner, Jackie Winitjun, said that around 10,000 people attended over the two days.
“This year, we were fortunate enough to have Palitchoke Ayanaputra, a Thai celebrity, come over,” said Daniel.
“He’s a pop singer and the brand ambassador for the tourism authority of Thailand, which has been focusing on the environment and protecting the beautiful country of Thailand.”
Jackie added: “We had a really warm welcome from people in Cambridge. We call our project, ‘A little corner of Thailand in Cambridge'.
