Thai Food and Cultural Festival

Audrey wasn't that keen on Thai food, Eli loved the green chicken curry and we all enjoyed the jazz and Thai music laid on for us.

It was (I think) our third annual trip to the Thai festival at the Thai embassy in Canberra which despite the changeable weather was absolutely packed with people. In the morning we caught up with our friends Gill, Anthony and their two children Tommy and Chloe, and due to the close proximity of their house to the Thai embassy we were all able to walk round to the festival and smirk about the gridlocked roads as people struggled to park in Yarralumla's (posh) streets.

The festival had loads going on, from dancing to massage to music but the main attraction for the vast majority of visitors were the busy and bustling food stalls which surrounded the main embassy building selling Thai food of every description.

We negotiated the voucher payment scheme, bought our delicious food (and beer!) and sat on the lawns near the fortune tree. Here's some pics of our day.
