The Education, Preservation, and
Promotion of the Culture of Thailand

Welcome to the Thai Cultural and Fine Arts Institute. Our organization strives to educate, preserve, and promote Thai culture through study, practice, and performance. With members throughout the United States, joint programs with Thailand and other parts of the world, we have become a crucial cultural resource to the Chicagoland area.

Congratulations to Tanya Pardungkiattisak!

The Thai Cultural and Fine Arts institute would like to congratulate Tanya Pardungkiattisak for winning the Youth Who Excel Award presented by the Asian American Coalition of Chicago! Tanya is a freshman at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with major in Education. She believes that knowing family roots and traditions are essential to determining who we are. Knowing that her parents are immigrants who managed to find success fuels her drive to become successful just like them. She strives to be well-cultured and being a female minority makes her very open and tolerant to others' traditions, customs and religions.
