A simple birthday party for Tienchai Sooktiang, director
of Voice Studio, turned into a costume party in the romantic setting of the
Nara Restaurant.

Indian tents, staff dressed in Indian costumes, friends
wearing embroidered saris with bangles on arms and legs and male friends
resembling maharajas waited in the garden, illuminated by hundreds of
candles and blossoms.
Tienchai was almost overwhelmed by this sight on his
arrival, and the dramatically arranged buffet was laden heavily with golden
plates, fruits and tasty Thai and Indian food. But the biggest surprise came
when a group of Ajarn Tienchai’s students appeared and performed dramatic
Indian dances.
Pim Nara, owner of Nara Restaurant and her staff staged an authentic
Indian spectacle.

Beauty next to Ajarn Tienchai

Bollywood
beware. The Chiang Mai Dancers are doing the head-wobble!
