There was an air of excitement as the first ever Øksfjord 'Thai night'got under way at 8pm. In a break from the traditional fish and potatoes, the buffet table was filled with chicken with oyster sauce, a lovely, yet unkown pork dish and of course, a Thai twist on the old favourite, fish soup. There is a healthy thai population in Øksfjord and in the past we have been spoilt with a diverse range of spring rolls. This particular event created so much interest that it was booked out just a couple of days after the initial announcement.

Despite a couple of incidents involving the guests mistaking the hot chillis for tasty pre dinner snacks, the food received a unanimous thumbs up. The warm night brought people outside with their beverages and eventually to the shore, where happy locals toasted the midnight sun with more beverages, some music and loads of laughter.

The one man taxi service had a profitable evening which didn't end until early morning.
