Thai Fight & Food, A Spectacular Blend Of Culture, Cuisine, And Empowerment

From Spicy Shrimp Soup To Self-Defense, Highlights From Thai Fight & Food

On Friday, December 6th, Go Places Digital had the privilege of attending a unique cultural event at the Trademark Suites in Enaki Town, hosted by the Royal Thai Embassy in Kenya. The event, aptly named Thai Fight & Food, showcased a vibrant fusion of Thai cuisine and the traditional martial art of Muay Thai.

The afternoon began with an engaging presentation of self-defense techniques through an exhilarating Muay Thai exhibition. The youth group performing the demonstration captivated the audience with their skill and discipline, underscoring the transformative potential of Muay Thai in empowering disadvantaged youth. Guests had the opportunity to interact with the performers and explore how such activities can offer hope and opportunities for the youth in Kenya.

In the culinary segment, attendees were treated to a variety of Thai snacks and a live cooking demonstration of the iconic Tom Yum Goong (spicy shrimp soup). Adding to the interactive experience, guests were invited to create their own purple flower dumplings, an exciting and flavorful dive into the artistry of Thai cuisine.

Go Places Digital also engaged with guests, capturing their thoughts on the event and their perspectives on Thai culture. Many shared their admiration for the rich traditions and hospitality of Thailand, while others reflected on how initiatives like this can inspire and uplift communities.

This event highlighted the beauty of cultural exchange, bridging gaps through food, art, and empowerment. A special thank you to H.E Ms. Morakot Janemathukorn the Thai Ambassador and the Royal Thai Embassy for hosting such a memorable occasion.
