Thai Affair was born out of a love of travel. During a travelling adventure made spontaneously to see my friends, I met Leandro - my now life partner - who had the idea that a simple yet robust-looking machine we had seen in Southeast Asia could be the foundation to a great gelato empire.

Fueled by daydreams and market research, I decided to jump right in. Because we lived in separate countries, my idea was to build a seasonal business where the off-season would allow us to see each other every year, escape the winter, and continue to travel. A little hustle and perseverance later, Thai Affair Rolled Gelato launched out of a tiny stand by the beach in White Rock, BC in summer 2017.

Met with great enthusiasm by both locals and tourists, Thai Affair was raised by the love and support of the community. We now serve premium rolled gelato every summer from May till October at  White Rock beach, Richmond Night Market, and (most recently) at Creekside Park and Sunset Beach, Vancouver! I hope to see you there :)
