Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel recently brought together culinary talent, hotel team members and Thai heritage in an ambitious attempt to create a spectacular 101.15-metre-long mango sticky rice, culminating in a Guinness World Records™ achievement for the longest mango sticky rice in the world.
The record-breaking attempt took place during World Gourmet Festival 2026 bringing together MICHELIN-recognised chefs and the hotel’s culinary team bring this distinctly Thai creation to life on an extraordinary scale. From preparing the fragrant sticky rice and ripe mangoes to assembling the creation piece by piece, the achievement showcased the precision, creativity and teamwork behind Anantara Siam’s culinary offering.
