If you hear the words pad Thai, green curry, and Muaythai and immediately perk up, clear your calendar.
On Saturday, 7 June 2025, Authentic Thai Day is landing at Makers Landing, Cape Town—and it’s bringing the full flavour, flair, and fiery spirit of Thailand with it.
Think of it as your one-way ticket to Bangkok, minus the passport and jet lag.
- Hosted with love (and serious spice) by the Royal Thai Embassy and in partnership with the Eclipse Fight League, this cultural celebration is set to bring Thai street food, traditional crafts, and kickass Muaythai right into the heart of the Mother City.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
🍜 Live cooking demos – Watch real Thai chefs work their wok magic, and yes, you’ll want to take notes.
👨🍳 Cook-along experiences – Jump into the demo kitchen and whip up the real deal, side-by-side with a Thai chef.
🍢 Thai food market – Overflowing with authentic dishes, snacks, and mouth-watering street food that’ll make you weak in the knees.
🎁 Thai products & crafts – From fragrant spices to handmade gems, it’s the perfect place to grab a gift or ten.
🎭 Cultural performances – Get immersed in Thai tradition with live shows that go beyond just the food.
🥊 Muaythai for fitness – Watch (or try) this powerful martial art in action and see why it’s as good for your core as it is for your confidence.
🎉 Entry is completely FREE, so grab your mates, bring your appetite, and head to Makers Landing for a day that’s equal parts delicious, energetic, and unforgettable. (Psst… if you’re keen to cook, book your spot for the workshop at www.tixsa.co.za—they’re filling fast.)
This is not just a market. Not just a food fair. It’s Thailand, right here in Cape Town—just for one day. Don’t miss it!
