If you couldn't afford a trip out of Japan during Golden Week, get the next best thing in Yoyogi Park later in May, as the ever-popular Thai Festival returns for another two days of dancing, music, martial arts and generously spiced grub. This year's stage lineup includes performances by last year's Miss Thailand, string orchestra Vie Trio and alt-rock legends Modern Dog, plus traditional Thai dance and Muay Thai demonstrations. You can also look forward to the usual array of stalls selling handicrafts, clothing, Singha beer and curry, including representatives from pretty much every Thai restaurant of note in Tokyo.
