The activities also included impressive cultural performances of children from the Thai-Norway Language and Cultural Association and the Language and Cultural Centre, Wat Thai Norway which were very much appreciated by the Thai community and their Norwegian families. As 12 August is Mother’s Day in Thailand, another important activity was for the children to pay respect to express love and gratitude to their mothers. The Thai Music and Dance Club in Norway also performed traditional songs throughout the event.

 

Long Live Her Majesty the Queen Mother.
