HANOI — Thousands of visitors flocked to Thang Long Palace in Hanoi from March 27–29 to celebrate Thai culture at a festival organized by the Thai Embassy, marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Thailand and Vietnam. Under the theme “Creative Life, Creative Heartbeat,” the three-day event drew more than 20,000 people, who enjoyed a lively mix of traditional and contemporary Thai experiences.
Festival-goers explored Thai royal-inspired national dress, learned about Songkran, Thailand’s traditional New Year, and watched cultural performances and Muay Thai demonstrations. Visitors also tried their hand at Thai handicrafts in D.I.Y. workshops, sampled Thai cuisine, and explored lifestyle products reflecting modern Thai creativity. The event featured a Thai and Vietnamese national costume fashion show, opportunities to try on traditional Thai outfits, prize draws, and screenings of Thai films.
The festival offered more than cultural entertainment — it strengthened people-to-people ties between Thailand and Vietnam while giving participants a chance to experience the richness and creativity of Thai heritage. The Thai Embassy expressed gratitude to all agencies, artists, performers, entrepreneurs, volunteers, and visitors whose support made the event a success.
