The programme aims to promote Franco-Thai friendship through arts, food, culture, science, education and language -- in other words, everywhere France and Thailand meet.
Within a space designed for exchange and interaction, the event will make for an immersive visit and chance for participants to experience all facets of French-Thai relations.
Visitors can expect a day packed with many activities starting with a free guided tour of the residence of the French ambassador. There will be a live cooking show by Dusit Thani College, with free French food and drinks served; a showcase of art installations by contemporary creators; and a science and innovation corner with AR and VR experiences.
Open-house guests will further enjoy "Learn & Teach French" games that are not only fun but also can help kickstart careers requiring French-language proficiency. For those wishing to study in France, the event likewise is a chance to meet with alumni from the embassy's scholarship programmes.
Other activities include "Meet The Diplomats" session, coffee break at French-language cafe and open-air cinema viewing in the evening. There is no admission fee but seats are limited. Reservations can be made via sawasdeefrancelaunch.eventbrite.com.
