Thai party at Beach Hotel in Muscat

The Thai community of Muscat was throwing a party on December 5th.

It was actually for the King's Birthday. I got invited through my friend Panadda, it took place at the Beach Hotel pool (next to the Intercontinental) in Qurum.

There were dances, food and Thai people.

It was the first time such a party was organized (through some Thai organization from I understood). Thus, everything was not perfect but for a first time, it was not so bad.

Firstly there were some songs and anthem as well as a welcome speech.

The food was served as a buffet. The line was long before getting the food but it was worth the wait. The food was very good and not too spicy to accommodate westerner palates.  I had some samosas and green curry as well as yellow rice.

After meal, we enjoyed traditional Thai dances :

Look at the details of the costume :

After that, they play some disco (Thai) music and people started to chill.

Then, the Intercon had a Thai night so everybody went there. Bernard (who works with me) and I quickly became surrounded by Panadda's friends. Since they are mostly girls (there was a lady-boy though), I can tell you couple of guys out there were very jealous.

However, we took off quickly after because I had worked all day and we had to decline dancing all the time.

Just for fun, a picture with a Christmas tree :
