The Royal Thai Consulate-General in Kolkata, in collaboration with the Royal Thai Monastery in Bodhgaya, proudly organised the very first edition of “Namaste Thailand @ Bodhgaya 2026” from 1–4 March 2026 at the Royal Thai Monastery in Bodhgaya, Bihar.
Held for the first time in Bodhgaya, the four-day celebration marked a significant milestone in strengthening unity and solidarity among the Thai community in India, especially in Bodhgaya, while sharing Thailand’s rich cultural heritage with the Indian public and pilgrims from around the world. Through vibrant displays of authentic Thai cuisine, traditional arts, and cultural performances, the event brought the essence of “Thainess” to the sacred land of the Buddha’s Enlightenment.
