Thailand is often referred to as a golden land because the country gives off a certain lustre; be it the fertile rice fields of the central plains, white sandy beaches or the warm hospitality of the people. There is a long tradition of fruit carving in Thailand and an authentic fruit carver takes the stage to perform this intricate art form.

Thai Culture NZ will also cook a variety of Siamese cuisine, followed by tastings. There will also be special performances, including the ranaht and ungaloong string and bamboo instruments, and dancers in traditional attire.

Live cooking sessions followed by tastings: 11am, 2.30pm
Cultural performance: 1pm-1.30pm
Atrium
Free. (Gold coin donation for tastings)
