Just to kick the ball off (no pun intended) the Australian rules footy team The Thailand Tigers have an event organized.

The Tigers will be holding a massive Australia Day celebration in conjunction with the Southerners Cricket Club and the Thailand GAA. The Southerners are holding their annual Australia Day Social Sixes, and like the Tigers, are celebrating their 20th Anniversary in 2016.

Not sure about on Australia Day B B but certainly on Anzac Day there are major events scheduled there by the Australian Government and the Australian Defence Force (ADF)
