American Fair coming to Korat for US 250th anniversary

From October 2-4, the US Embassy in Thailand will host an American Fair in Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Korat, to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary. This complimentary public event, held at Mayfair Market, will showcase American culture and history through various activities and exhibits.

The fair promises a diverse range of entertainment for families, including live music, balloon shows, food booths, and exhibitions. Participants can enjoy traditional Korat delicacies alongside American-style dishes and a selection of US food products, including a unique 3D ice cream shaped like the Statue of Liberty.

Highlights of the event will include activities like a chicken-crowing imitation contest, swing dancing, games, and screenings of popular American films. US companies and government agencies, such as CP, ThaiBev, KFC, RMA, Ford, John Deere, Dow Chemical, Jim Thompson Farm, Harley-Davidson, Coca-Cola, Tesla, USDA, EducationUSA, and DEA, will all take part in the celebration.

US Ambassador to Thailand Sean O’Neill expressed his hope that both Americans and Thais would attend the American Fair, describing it as the ideal way to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. The fair will subsequently visit Chiang Mai from October 16-18 and Bangkok from October 23-25.
