Sriracha - Aki Matsuri Festival

The Aki Matsuri Festival is a long-standing celebration of the arrival of Autumn in Japan.  Cape and Kantary Hotels recently organised its 9^th annual event in Sriracha to celebrate this. 

Cape and Kantary Hotels in Sriracha invited over 500 residents from their properties there – also known as ‘Little Osaka’ - to join in this year’s festivities. 

The Sriracha Health Park was transformed into Japan by the addition of lanterns, games to play, events, kiosks and shows. Many of the guests chose to wear a ‘yukuta’ – a traditional Japanese summer kimono which made you feel as if you were in Japan.

The tremendous array of foods was prepared by Cape & Kantary Restaurants – including Le Marin Mediterranean Restaurant, Cape Racha Hotel; California Steak Restaurant, Karavel House; and The Orchard Restaurant, Kantary Bay Hotel.  Refreshments were prepared by Café Kantary and the Japanese style rice by Camp Curry in Bangkok.

This year a trip to the FROST Magical Ice in Pattaya was added to the event for the media travelling from Bangkok – where temperatures can drop to -10 °C – and we were welcomed by enormous ‘white sand structures’ from Thai fairy tales from the Himmapan era.
