A major cultural and culinary event is set to unfold in Phetchaburi province as the Amazing Thai Taste Festival: Vijit Gastronomy brings together food, light, and music from July 10 to 16, 2025. Hosted at Wang Ban Pun Palace (Phra Ram Ratchaniwet Palace), the festival promises to blend tradition with innovation in a unique setting that reflects the Thai-European architectural style of the King Rama V era.
Visitors can expect a multi-sensory experience beginning each day at 3 PM, with highlights including dazzling lightmapping installations, a curated selection of 75 top food vendors, and Chef’s Table sessions led by renowned chefs and local culinary experts. There will also be hands-on workshops featuring rare regional dishes, giving guests the opportunity to explore Thailand’s diverse gastronomic heritage.
The palace grounds will be transformed with light displays and Instagram-friendly landmarks, while live concerts will take place throughout the week. Notable acts include Polycat, Lula, Singto Numchok, Wanyai, Indigo, Hunter, and Prangthip from The Voice Thailand, alongside performances by local artists.
The event also encourages cultural engagement through a modern Thai costume contest, where participants can win exclusive souvenirs or a chance to join a Chef’s Table tasting session. Organisers say the aim is to celebrate Thai flavors in a setting that fuses history, art, and modern creativity.
The festival is part of the Amazing Thai Taste initiative, supported by tourism and cultural bodies to promote regional culinary experiences. Attendance is free, and the event is expected to attract both domestic and international visitors, according to promotional materials circulated by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and regional organisers.
