Why You Should Visit
A celebration of Thai culture along the Kiyoshikojin temple approach in Takarazuka. Now in its 4th year, the festival lines the street with Thai food, crafts, beer and massage, joined by live music, art and talks from artists invited from Chiang Mai. The daytime market is free to enter for easy grazing and shopping, while the evening shifts to a ticketed Thai party. It suits everyone from families browsing the stalls to those after authentic Thai music.
