Haifa salutes its Volunteers

The Highlight of the evening was doubtlessly the performance of the Thai Royal Ballet Troupe.
A traditional musical Ensemble accompanied the Dancers and the Singer
This part of the evening commenced with warm words of friendship
by H.E. the Amabassador of Thailand MR KASIVAT PARUGAMAMONT
and the Mayor of Haifa, Mr Yona Yahav.

H.E. the Ambassador and the Mayor exchange gifts

The musical Ensemble

And now the Dancers. Comments are nearly superfuous.

Not only the hands play a part but also the toes.

The famous Dance of the Masques

Some of the dances symbolize the strife between Good and Evil.

The Sword Dance is part of the Thai Martial Arts.

The magnificient Singer performed not only traditional Thai Songs
but also delighted the audience with an excellent rendition of
Israeli Songs such as "Shalom Aleichem" and "Jerusalem of Gold"

At the end the dancers unfurl National Flags of Israel and Thailand
as a symbol of the friendship between the two countries.
