Held annually, this charity fair is not just a fundraiser – it's an explosion of culture, community, and fun, happening this year on November 23. Taking place at Bangkok Patana School, you can dive into global cuisine, explore unique crafts, and enjoy live entertainment, all while supporting amazing causes. The best part: it’s not just a great day out – it’s a chance to make a real difference. Organised by the British Community in Thailand Foundation (BCTFN), all proceeds go to over 10 fantastic Thai charities, helping those in need.
