Hurrah!! Today, March 17th, is St Patrick’s Day, and for expats or holidaymakers in Thailand that means a great opportunity to celebrate the patron Saint of Ireland, but also an excuse (as if you needed one) for a good old knees up, and a chance to frolic under the sun instead of freezing your nuts off back home. And it’s all in the name of raising a glass to our Irish friends and brethren.
