THAI-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP ORGANIZATION
Thai-American Friendship Organization is an Arizona non-profit entity established to promote cultural, educational and economic ties between the people of Arizona and Thailand.

We promote the richness and diversity of Thai culture as well as foster cross-cultural understanding between the peoples of Thailand and Arizona.

"The 5th Annual Thai Cultural Days will introduce Arizonans to beautiful Thailand and all that it has to offer,” said Chantri Sukpon, President of Thai-American Friendship Organization. Opening ceremonies will be held both days at 12:00pm. Special guests invited include the Thai Ambassador to the U.S., Governor Janet Napolitano, Secretary of State Jan Brewer and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. “The general public and all organizations and their members are invited to the festival," Ms. Sukpon said.

Adults and children, alike, will experience the unique culture, traditions, cuisine and products of Thailand. Gold, fuchsia, pink and green rice paper umbrellas of all sizes will adorn the festival grounds. Continuous entertainment will flood the stage, ranging from Thai classical dancers with their headdress and colorful costumes to a Thai musical band and its unique instruments to Thai cultural shows, including demonstration of a traditional Thai wedding. Throughout the festival grounds will be authentic Thai food, unique products of Thailand and a showcase of beautiful sites to visit in Thailand. Food and beverage will be available for purchase at the Thai cuisine pavilion.
