With a growing Thai community in Queensland, including thousands of Thai students studying here, numerous Thai restaurants and the close relationship that Thailand and Australia have, through travel, trade , education and defence, this event will enable the communities to celebrate the traditional Songkran festival, as well as learning more about Thai culture and Food.

Australia is now the one of the top 3  destinations for Thai students studying overseas.

TAFTA, the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and Thailand, which started  in January 2005, has significantly increased the already substantial trade, education and defence links.

This Festival  is but one event in the annual calendar of Thai celebrations held in Brisbane and in Thai communities world-wide. Other significant events include the  birthdays of His Majesty the King of Thailand (December) and Her Majesty the Queen of Thailand (August)  as well as the annual Loy Krathong Festival (November).
