It is the time of the year to bring fun and entertainment to parents, students, teachers, staff and even the whole of the Sukhumvit community. The American School of Bangkok is proud to announce the school's greatest endeavor of the year- the "Sukhumvit Fair 2005".

Objective:

The American School of Bangkok (ASB) organizes the “Sukhumvit Fair” each year in order to celebrate the cultural diversity and international cohesiveness of our community.

The Fair:

From the moment you enter our campus you will become part of a magical evening! Open to the public, the fair is one of the first of its kind on Sukhumvit road. As an international event, it features spectacular cultural shows, games, shopping booths, live music, themed-costume contests, prizes and of course, an international cuisine. Keep your eyes open for additional excitement such as magic shows, face painting, a stilt walker, and a parade of cartoon characters for the young ones.

Each year boasts a different theme, but this year’s Let’s Salsa! should prove to be one of the most exhilarating yet - with a Latin Dance Extravaganza, spectacular costumes and luscious, “South ‘o the Border” cuisine. Come join us in the land of Sombreros, Matadors, Senoritas, enchiladas and yes, Salsa!

Brief History:

The American School of Bangkok held its first Fun Fair in 1995. Following success and steady growth, the event was renamed the “Sukhumvit Fair” to suit our aim of bringing unity to our richly diverse community. Last year’s fair - the "Sukhumvit Fair 2004" accommodated over 5,000 visitors. The net proceeds generated from the event were given to UNICEF for their charitable programs in Thailand.

This year, due to early publicity and an irresistible theme, we expect up to 6,500 visitors. Our publicity reaches out to all foreign and local newspapers, radio channels, magazines and television programs targeting mainly the entertainment, women and education sectors.

Proceeds:

This year’s net proceeds will be forwarded to the child victims of the tsunami.
