Creative & Craft Fair

I like to study Thai at the cafe in Amarin Plaza some mornings. On a Tuesday, I noticed a hive of activity in the lobby area of this shopping complex. Amarin was hosting a "Thai Creative and Craft Fair".

The floor was covered with numerous food vendors, selling Thai sweets, sausages, snacks, etc. There were also some booths featuring carved candles and soaps. It was pretty amazing.

The shops & shoppers:

I noticed one thing: if there is food, Thai people will be there. The longest lines were for stalls cooking up some homemade dishes or sweets. There is a common greeting in Thailand: "Have you eaten yet?" ^_^ Thais love food; it's the way to make friends here.

Vendors selling sweets:

Amarin Plaza hosts numerous events on a rotating basis. See their website for more details. BTS Chitlom. Across from Holiday Inn.
