Store opens in explosion of flavours and colours from streets of Bangkok 

The buzz of Bangkok arrived in Birmingham when Thai Express opened its fifth UK store with a press launch for the city’s media and blogger community at Grand Central. The UK management team, headed up by Sachin and Uzma Pattani, welcomed guests to a night of authentic street-style Thai food and service, complemented by Thai ladies wearing vibrant, traditional silks and golden headpieces.
