Bangkok is iconic for a great many things and her food culture is definitely something that stands out. From 10th and the 11th of March, this exhibition of gastronomic delights will be taking place along the Chao Phraya Riverside, hosted by The Jam Factory. The location is ideal since the stretch is iconic for its selection of eateries, such as Benihana Thailand, one of the many Teppanyaki restaurants to be found along the riverside.

In addition to showcasing a variety of food, Yum fest also featured many competitions and events, further complemented by live performances. The Chili Challenge was particularly intense and involved the hottest somtam. There were two bands providing live music at the event, which were the All-Thidsa Molam Band and Somkiat, respectively.

This year’s Yum Fest was sponsored by Singha, Acer, and Minéré Thailand.
