This year several events are organized throughout the festival.
The Oriental invites La Tour d’Argent
June 24th - 29th (Oriental Hotel - BTS Saphan Taksin)
Being famous for its either traditional or creative dishes’ finess, the "Tour d’Argent" has illustrated itself, for decades, as one of the most recognized French restaurant in the world. Chefs from "La Tour d'Argent" will participate in "La Fête" by offering a French cuisine week at the Oriental (considered as one of the most famous hotels in the world). They will bring back King Rama V’s menu, tasted during his visit to Paris, more than one hundred years ago, including the famous duck's blood. Subjugated by the Parisian’s speciality at the time, the King brought the recipe back to his palace in Bangkok and further initiated the French gastronomy to Thai people.

Apéritif à la Française (invitation only)

For the 5th consecutive year, Sopexa Thailand will be in charge for "Apéritif à la Française". This operation, becoming internationally known, has been supported by the French Ministry of Agriculture since 2004. "L’apéro" (hors d’oeuvre) does not only work for appetite, it also brings a moment of conviviality when French people meet and chat over a drink and finger food. "L'Apéritif à la française" endorsed by Sopexa Thailand, therefore expects to blend the showcase of the diversity of French food fares with a moment of conviviality.
With over 45 years of experience in the food communication field, Sopexa deals with the whole food industry issues. Established in Bangkok since 1992, Thailand Sopexa works closely with importers and distributors to promote French products on the Thai market.
