Lively Crayfish Party 2011
Scandinavian Society Siam was as vibrant as ever this Saturday night 1 October 2011 when the annual Crayfish Party kicked off at the Rembrandt Hotel with ScanDeli as the turnkey provider for the event. Bjorn Richardsson was MC and steered the evening through the welcome speech by Anita Falk, Chairman of the Scandinavian Society Siam, a greeting from Sirpa Nyberg of the Finnish Embassy, and the drawing of the lottery. All the rest of the fun, the drinking and dancing the participants manage just fine all by themselves..
