If you can’t resist a tasty Pad Thai and love a Tom Yum, mark September 15 in your calendar right this minute because the annual Brisbane Thai Festival is coming to Roma Street Parklands. The cultural celebration is the largest for the local Thai community and offers an array of things to see, sip and savour. The best part? It’s free to attend!

The Brisbane Thai Festival is hosted by the Thai-Australian Association of Queensland Inc, which celebrates the wealth of Thai culture, cuisine and traditions whilst strengthening Thai-Australian relations. It’s the closest you’ll come to Thailand without jumping on a plane!
