A Tradition of Giving and Gourmet Excellence
Since its inception in 2009, the Bangkok Chef Charity has been a beacon of culinary innovation and community service. For over a decade, this prestigious gathering has showcased the extraordinary talents of Bangkok’s top chefs and served as a vital fundraising platform for healthcare initiatives across Thailand.
“This year, we are thrilled to present a remarkable lineup of 29 chefs, including six Michelin-starred chefs from renowned restaurants in Thailand and Hong Kong,” announced Khun Nuntiya during a recent press conference at The Peninsula Bangkok.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn has graced the event annually, underscoring its significance in Thailand’s social and culinary landscape. The 2025 edition is especially poignant as it coincides with Her Royal Highness’s 70th birthday, a milestone commemorated by a breathtaking display of 71 intricately designed cakes in the hotel’s grand lobby—a heartfelt tribute to her enduring contributions to Thai society.
A Feast for the Senses and the Soul
