The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has joined forces with Eat Thai to bring a traditional floating market experience to the heart of Bangkok, offering visitors a chance to savor the city’s finest culinary treats. The “A Thai New Year Floating Food Festival” at Central Embassy runs from April 1st to 23rd and features over 200 mouthwatering dishes from 60 different Thai restaurants.
This festival is an exceptional opportunity for tourists to travel back in time and immerse themselves in the vibrant market stalls, while relishing the delectable Thai cuisine in a unique floating market atmosphere. The festival offers more than just food; visitors can also witness cooking demonstrations and enjoy local performances, further adding to the festive vibe.
The festival marks Thailand’s celebration of the Thai New Year, also known as Songkran, a time of renewal and reflection. The floating market tradition in Thailand dates back centuries and continues to be a popular way for locals to sell and trade goods from their boats.
Central Embassy, a luxury shopping mall in the heart of Bangkok, is the venue for this year’s event. Admission is free, and food tokens can be purchased to sample dishes from various vendors. However, due to the event’s popularity, visitors are advised to arrive early to avoid long queues.
The festival is a perfect way to experience Bangkok’s rich culinary culture, meet locals, and make unforgettable memories. Visitors can indulge in a gastronomic journey that combines history, culture, and entertainment. It’s a feast for the senses, and everyone is invited to join in on the celebration.
