Wander around the beautiful grounds of Secretts Milford and visit the traditional Thai street markets and take the children to the family fun fair. Watch national dancers perform and witness the skilful art of fruit carving. Have lunch by the lake, shop for authentic crafts and unwind with a Thai Massage.

Festival organizers are delighted to have Thai Airways International as a sponsor. Festival Co-ordinator Peter Rust says: “Thai Airways will be visible throughout the festival. The timing couldn’t be better because they will have just launched a London Heathrow – Bangkok route with their state of the art Airbus A380-800. The inaugural flight takes place on 1st July and it will accommodate 507 passengers across three classes.”

Festival entertainment includes martial arts demonstrations and this year Nai Khanom Tom, the most notable fighter in Muay Thai (Thai boxing) history will be honoured. This Thai martial art form derived from the ancient boxing technique, Muay Boran is known as the ‘Art of Eight Limbs’. This is because fighters are able to use fists, elbows, knees and shins against eight points of contact – six more than regular boxing.

    Sawasdee Dee Kraab Khun Richard,
    I hope you are well ?
    I need to send you a file with information about the Thai martial arts section of the festival, but I cannot see on your blog where you send file/photo ?
    Sorry but in the section on Muay Thai you have Written the art of 8 limbs, but in fact Muay Thai is known as the science of 8 limbs.
    Thanks
    Kru Tony Moore
