Chanthaburi Gastronomy is not just about a city of fruits; it is becoming a major destination for foodies and travelers passionate about the art of world-class flavors. With its outstanding potential in high-quality ingredients and a rich heritage of food culture, the Chanthaburi Provincial Cultural Office has now partnered with key allies like the Chanthaburi Chamber of Commerce and Sanechan Co., Ltd. to prepare the grand project, “Roots of Taste, A Path to the World’s Creative Kitchen” (The Regenerative Dinner: Cross-Cultural and Cross-Disciplinary Culinary Collaboration), which will be held from August 13-15, 2025, at the Blue Rabbit Hotel in Mueang Chanthaburi District.
A recent meeting to finalize project details on August 4, 2024, led by Mrs. Manussri Tanlai, Chanthaburi Provincial Cultural Officer, together with Mr. Ukrit Wongthongsalee, Chairman of the Chanthaburi Chamber of Commerce, and their teams, resulted in many interesting conclusions. These reflect a genuine commitment to elevating the province’s Gastronomy to the global stage.
