The Local Fairs and Markets season is beginning in the city. The first one was over the weekend and it was a big affair compared to the last 3 years. Now that there is no more Covid or that it has become a regular affair everyone wants to focus on growing their work and business. The first of the season was the Thai Festival, representing the Thai Culture. There was variety of Thai foods and products available. I must say it was a very good show and the people attended it in large numbers.

I was not aware of the festival. I had a busy Friday morning so I was looking to spend some relax time in the evening, then a friend of mine suggested that it was the last day of the market so we should go. Good that we went, It was a lively affair and I also like Thai food, so I could fill my appetite with some of my favorite foods.

A pose to show that I was here....hehehe

And then she said she could join me for the picture, I was more then happy :-)

There was some hospital promotion also going on, not very keen on that part, but good to know

This is of my interest, Natural medicines

A variety of fragrances and oils were available. The other good thing was that all the products were reasonably priced. Else there are some markets where they heavily charge.

I bought one of the oils for my diffuser. Their Citronella is more of a Lemongrass fragrance

Some fun activity for children too. I wonder which artist did this....hahaha

Some Thai fruit juices

There were some Airline lucky draws. Salaam Air is the low cost airline of Oman

These fruits cutouts were attractive

I had seen this fruit in my local market but never had it, was wondering how it would be. Here they were offering for tasting. I tried one, it taste like a Lychee, and I liked it.

Different types of Thai Teas

A variety of Thai food was available

Looking at this my hubby said, your counter has come...hehehe. It's a green healthy counter :-)

This is a famous restaurant in the city and their Thai cuisine is delicious. We decided to have something from here

And we ended up having this Turkey Roast with sticky Jasmine Rice and some Thai Sauces with it. It was delicious.

I bought this mix for the Thai curry. It is difficult to find Kaafir Leaves and Galangal here in te super markets, and if it is available it's very expensive. They were selling here at a reasonable price so it was worth the pick

And some more fancy makes

Good that I decided to visit the market, it was nice to see so many new Thai products and just soak into the vibrant energy of the place
