On 12 May 2018, the Royal Thai Embassy in Nairobi participated in the 6th Nairobi International Cultural Festival at the Nairobi National Museum. The Embassy’s cultural booth featured various Thai dishes, including the popular pad thai, som tam (papaya salad), kanom krok (Thai coconut pancake) and look choop (fruit-shaped mung-bean marzipan). Thai products made by ‘pha kao ma’ which is a Thai fabric similar to Kenya’s ‘kikoy’ and ‘masai shuka’ were also displayed.

          Apart from the Thai cultural booth, the Royal Thai Embassy also organized the “Art of Muay Thai” (Thai boxing) demonstration performed by Muay Thai experts from Thailand, Kenya and neighbouring countries. The activities were well attended by both Kenyan and international audiences.
