Day of the dolls
Yamazato, the signature Japanese restaurant at The Okura Prestige Bangkok, is celebrating the ancient Hinamatsuri Girls’ Festival through March 6 with a Gozen set lunch (Bt900) and Kaiseki set dinner (Bt3,000) created by master Chef Shigeru Hagiwara. This historic festival is celebrated annually in Japanese communities on March 3 to wish good health and future happiness for girls. Visit www.OkuraBangkok.com.
 
Lanna and loving it
After two years of success, the Nan Arts Festival is returning to the small Northern Province for its third edition from February 19 -21 on the theme “Nan Ter!” – a typical yet funny exclamation in the Lanna dialect. Taking place around Nan Museum, the festival features a short film showcase, art exhibition and installations. Noted for its rustic scenery, the northern province is isolated from the mainstream tourism industry. Visit Facebook.com/NanArtsFestival
 
Love in the deep
Trang is hosting the annual Underwater Wedding Fair from Friday to Sunday and you don’t have to be a deep-sea diver to join in. The event has many colourful activities for landlubbers as well, not least watching a traditional wedding ceremony and the remarkable khan maak procession, which features hundreds of speedboats decorated with multi-hued flags.
