We are back into a heatwave again and on the Bank Holiday we went to the bi-annual Thai Festival that is held at Milford on behalf of a Thai charity that keeps Northern Thai girls out of the
clutches of the Bangkok "sex industry".There were tents selling Thai goods, holidays and scrumptious food, as well as dances and combats on stage. The lady aloft kept a very poised posture as she was paraded around the site at the beginning of the proceedings.
The finale involved little floats with a candle on them that were launched on the pond as the light faded.

nice piccies. How long have they been doing this? I don't think I've heard of it before. You'd think there would be a lot of such events here in the states but I haven't noticed many. The only thing that comes to mind is the National Pow-wow that took place at the new Native American museum
It is a bi-ennial event and it is the third occasion that we know of. It is a big selling opportunity for Thai firms here and in their own country, but just as important a chance for Surrey red-necks to pick up on an interesting overseas culture.
