Thaikhun is serving up free Pad Thai from its Spinningfields eatery on Thursday (September 22). The restaurant is also giving students the chance to ride a tuk tuk - Thailand's traditional taxi - through the city, with a private tour departing outside the University of Manchester campus.

The tuk tuk ride finishes at Thaikhun, on Hardman Street, where students will be dropped off to enjoy the country's traditional dish free of charge. The tour will run from 12pm-5pm at the University of Manchester campus on Thursday.
