Bangkok's family-friendly expat event of the year, the Ploenchit Fair, takes places this weekend.
Organized by the British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy (BCTFN), the traditional fund-raising event for Thai charities will take place at Bangkok Pattana International School on Saturday, November 26.
Organizers say they will donate at least 2 million baht to flood relief charities and agencies.
The theme of Ploenchit Fair, now in its 54th year, is a traditional British family fairground. More than 2,000 members of the British community voluntarily organize and run some 150 stalls, games, live performances and rides.
A number of city restaurants will set up stalls there too, selling everything from English fish-and-chips and pies to Indian and Mexican cuisine. Beer offerings include Paulaner, Chang, Guinness and Kilkenny.
The event is usually held at Bangkok's riverside Shrewsbury International School but due to the flooding uncertainty organizers moved it to Bangkok Pattana. A free shuttle bus service will run from the BTS Bang Na station to the fairgrounds.
