I just went to Thailand for the first time, and I can tell you right now, I am Thailand’s newest fan. My boyfriend is originally from Thailand, so I came to visit him while he is home before starting his PhD back in the US. I have had the most the amazing time here, and I highly recommend visiting at least once. I am the biggest fan of Chiang Mai, but I also went to Pattaya and Bangkok so I have all the vibes from mountain to beach to big city. So, let’s plan a Thailand party. Planning a Thailand-themed birthday party is a fun way to bring the vibrant, tropical vibes of this beautiful Southeast Asian country to life.
Thailand has iconic beaches,
and after going to Koh Larn, all I can say is wow! So, let your decorations transports guest to true Thai paradise. Think palm leaves, beach umbrellas, fairy lights, and natural accents like bamboo. Setting up a cozy sitting area with nice couches, wicker chairs, etc. will be a very Thai beach club vibe. You definitely want to include lots of tropical flowers as well, so think orchid, lotus, and anything colorful.
For food, go Thai!
Thai dishes can be fairly time consuming, so consider ordering from a Thai restaurant to save time and support the local economy. I would recommend dishes like mango sticky rice for dessert, the classic Pad Thai, and some spring rolls. You can also provide coconut water, Thai tea, and some green tea.
Incorporating traditional activities like making flower garlands or having a mini beach volleyball game will keep the party bumping. For a more relaxing vibe, set up a Thai-style spa with foot baths and fragrant oils. Music is also a must, so get the beach tunes rolling.
While it is so fun to celebrate
such a wonderful country, it is also important to remember to avoid inappropriate uses of religious symbols like Buddha statues or any other Buddhist symbols. Keep the themed light-hearted and focus on the beauty of Thailand. It is a special place, so celebrate it right.
