The food was plentiful, buffet style, the service was excellent and the entertainment (live music and a variety of traditional dances) added the right touch (since the affair is being touted as a 'cultural festival'). Worth the 185 Riyal price of admission as long as you come hungry :)

A little research shows that this is the time of year that Thailand celebrates the coronation of their king, Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest serving head of state (over 60 years).
