It's the time of year for the Ploenchit Fair

Organised by the British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy, the fair will take place on Nov 24 from 10am to 9pm.

Promising to be a fun-filled outing for family and friends, the fair is where kids will enjoy riding the ferris wheel, and try the hand-spin boats, the giant wave slide, shooting gallery, King of the Mountain, water roller ball and the bungy, as well as many games stalls. They can also expect to embrace Father Christmas as he is set to pay an early visit to the fair.

Adults, meanwhile, will enjoy more than 60 shopping outlets at the Petticoat Lane Bazaar where charity stalls are erected to offer a vast assortment of treasures ranging from clothes, gifts, and cosmetic products to an amazing variety of international cuisines such as Mexican food from Sunrise Tacos, British fish 'n' chips, Indian dishes from Masala Art and all sorts of Thai food.

Other stalls will feature fun and interactive games, with a chance to win many of the thousands of prizes, including round-trip airline tickets to London.

Held annually, the Ploenchit Fair aims to support a range of diverse charity projects in all religions of Thailand, promoting self-sufficiency and improving the lives of the needy. Since first being held at the British Embassy in 1956, the fair has become one of the biggest and most-loved events of the social calendar in Bangkok.

The entrance fee is 150 baht (50 baht for children). All proceeds will go towards helping those in need. Bangkok Patana School is on Sukhumvit Soi 105 (Soi La Salle).
