It is all part of the country\u2019s effort to showcase and celebrate the nation\u2019s rich, vibrant cultural heritage as well as to promote its many amazing travel attractions.<\/p>\n<p>Iconic to Thailand,\u00a0<em>Muay Thai<\/em>, a combat sport developed in the 16th century, commonly referred to as \u201cThe Arts of the Eight Limbs\u201d, has gained worldwide popularity as a self-defense technique and fitness workout. Watch Nakbalee and Nakorn as they skilful spar in the boxing tent.<\/p>\n<p>The fun continues with festival visitors enjoying everything Thai including sampling authentic mouth-watering food prepared by award winning Thai chef, Phonganan Siriseangphaiwan, and savouring bite-size offerings by local \u201cThai Select Cuisine\u201d restaurants. The Select Cuisine certification program ensures the cuisine\u2019s genuineness based on use of bona fide Thai ingredients, recipes, and the chef\u2019s experience. A component of the Thai government\u2019s \u201cKitchen of the World\u201d initiative, the goal is to promote real Thai food globally.<\/p>\n<p>With great food comes amazing entertainment direct from Bangkok, the world\u2019s top travel city according to Mastercard\u2019s 2013 Global Destination Cities Index. Live on stage is the Sirinsin Thai dance troupe who will be showcasing Thailand\u2019s popular folk and classical dances \u2013 from the intriguing mask dance,\u00a0<em>Khon<\/em>\u00a0to the graceful\u00a0<em>Sukhothai<\/em>\u00a0movements and playful sways of the\u00a0<em>Rabam Taree Keepat<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Lustre and striking, Thai silk existed long before it became vogue on Paris runways. When Her Majesty, Queen Sirikit, the \u201cMother of Thailand\u201d visited the U.S. in the 60s, she dazzled Americans with her exquisite Thai silk haute couture \u2013 setting a global fashion trend for the textile, while reviving interest in the cottage industry at home. Some of the royal-style and national costumes in plain, patterned or brocade will be modelled at the festival. Other features include an exhibition on Amazing Thailand. Adding to the amusement are also children\u2019s activities like playing traditional Thai games, and prize draws.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the two-day festival in Vancouver, the dance, fashion and\u00a0<em>Muay Thai<\/em>\u00a0performances will also be staged at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre on August 22nd, Victoria Belfry Theatre on Aug 25th, and Royal Alberta Museum on August 28th.
