Since 1957 the British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy has hosted one of Bangkok’s most enduring charity events, a fair that transforms a corner of the city into a hive of games, stalls, food and entertainment. It is a place where community spirit feels tangible, where laughter and the smell of street food mingle, all while raising funds for Thai organisations that rely on support. This year carries a quieter tone. In remembrance of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother of Thailand, the event will adapt to the national mourning period, moving with sensitivity through its usual bustle. Even so, the fair retains its warmth, a reminder that generosity and celebration can coexist, that joy can be gentle, and that a city’s heart is often measured by the small acts it sustains over decades.
