Pai Nai Ma: Thai Australian Experiences

"From Loy Krathong to Buddhist Temples, Thai culture has become a part of the Parramatta and wider Australian story. Reflected in this exhibition are experiences of living in Thailand, migration to Australia and contemporary life in New South Wales from the Thai Australian perspective.

From 4 November 2005 to 29 January 2006 at Parramatta Heritage and Visitor Information Centre, 346A Church Street, Parramatta (beside Lennox Bridge), telephone (02) 8839 3311.

A partnership with Parramatta Heritage Centre, Thai Welfare Association, the Migration Heritage Centre, and guest curator Zoe Pollock."

The exhibition covers many interesting aspects of Thai migration to New South Wales, namely migrant brides, the White Australia Policy, The Colombo Plan, Wat Buddharangsee, and contemporary Thai community.
