Participants include 15 world-class chefs with a total of 21 Michelin stars, including Bruno Menard (3 stars, France), Alvin Leung (3 stars, Hong Kong), Thierry Voisin (3 stars, France), Ebbe Vollmer (2 stars, Sweden), and Dalia Florence (2 stars, France).

A team of 15 world-class chefs has created an exclusive 15-course menu that showcases carefully selected local ingredients – including 6ty Degrees mineral water, a premium natural mineral water from one of Thailand's most pristine UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. Rich in natural minerals, this premium water enhances the depth and nuances of each dish. Guests embark on a refined culinary journey through a meticulously crafted menu inspired by the rich heritage of Thai culture. Each course is an incredible composition of appearance, taste, aroma, and texture, transforming every plate into an edible work of art.

Bruno Menard, a three-Michelin-starred chef from France, explained: “DINNER INCREDIBLE brings us together to celebrate the best that Thailand has to offer, especially its exceptional local ingredients. For this special menu, I chose kaffir lime, curry paste, and coconut milk because these ingredients are distinctive and possess rich, layered flavors that beautifully capture the charm of Thai cuisine.”

Thierry Voisin, another three-Michelin-starred chef from France, described his experience at “DINNER INCREDIBLE THAILAND 2025” as truly phenomenal. He said: “The atmosphere at this dinner was something very special – hard to describe. The fact that 15 chefs from all over the world came together and everything fit together perfectly created an incredible energy. You could feel that we were a great team. It felt like one big family, and we owe that to Chef Giorgio Diana, the founder of DINNER INCREDIBLE, who took us all, including 6ty Degrees and all the sponsors, on this remarkable journey.”

Andy Yang, a Michelin-starred chef from Thailand, was thrilled to be participating in the event: “I am truly impressed to be part of DINNER INCREDIBLE. This event not only brings together chefs from diverse backgrounds but also promotes the use of fresh, local Thai ingredients. Interestingly, I was already familiar with 6ty Degrees mineral water before my invitation to DINNER INCREDIBLE THAILAND 2025 and drank it regularly. It is characterized by its naturally high alkalinity with a pH of 8.5, which is unique even compared to well-known imported brands. I think it’s fantastic that 6ty Degrees is participating in this event, as it provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase the exceptional quality of premium Thai mineral water to the world.”

In addition to the exclusive menus from 15 top chefs, “DINNER INCREDIBLE THAILAND 2025” is supported by Stéphane Michel, President of the Valanti Group, and Phanthachak Wongprecha, Founder and CEO of the Diplomat Network. They are organizing intensive learning activities on Thai food culture. The aim of these initiatives is to deepen the chefs' understanding of the origins and traditional Thai cuisine behind the ingredients.

Mr. Phanthachak Wongprecha, founder and CEO of The Diplomat Network, the sole organizer and copyright holder of DINNER INCREDIBLE in Thailand, said: “DINNER INCREDIBLE is more than just a meal; it is a cultural dialogue expressed through the flavors of Thailand. DINNER INCREDIBLE THAILAND 2025 not only presents an exclusive menu this year, but also gives Thailand a voice on the world stage. This voice celebrates the essence of Thai ingredients, the talent of Thai chefs, and the power of diversity, uniting renowned chefs from around the world who collectively hold 21 Michelin stars. In the vibrant heart of Bangkok, the city of flavors, this event creates a remarkable culinary phenomenon. We believe that Thailand’s true charm lies not only in its breathtaking landscapes, but also in its people, their smiles, and its rich cultural heritage, which shine brightly through this platform. DINNER INCREDIBLE is therefore not just a celebration of food and flavors, but a stage for Friendship, hope and inspiration shared through the most powerful language in the world. All: taste.

Patrick Both, General Manager of the Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok and Director of Operations for Luxury & Lifestyle Hotels at IHG Thailand, explained that the hotel – known for its warm and vibrant atmosphere – is proud to host this exceptional event. Guests are invited to savor an exquisite selection of premium Thai ingredients, carefully sourced from local producers and showcased in the Stock.Room restaurant. World-renowned chefs will transform these ingredients into this exclusive dinner. Both revealed: “The Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is thrilled to host DINNER INCREDIBLE THAILAND 2025 and welcome world-class chefs and distinguished guests to our hotel. The return of DINNER INCREDIBLE is a significant collaboration that reinforces our position as Bangkok’s culinary hub, with six exclusive restaurants and bars under one roof. The DINNER INCREDIBLE concept – ‘Experience global, enjoy local’ – reflects our philosophy of ‘Globally inspired, locally loved.’ We at the Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok are proud to bring this unforgettable and meaningful culinary experience to life.”

DINNER INCREDIBLE was founded in 2020 by chef Giorgio Diana with the aim of creating a platform for cultural and culinary exchange between chefs from around the world. Under the motto "Food connects people," the initiative brings together people from diverse backgrounds through the universal language of food. The central theme is "Think globally, eat locally." Local ingredients are highlighted to offer first-class experiences through exclusive dinners, redefining culinary experiences by combining creativity, sustainability, and intercultural dialogue.

DINNER INCREDIBLE debuted in Bangkok, Thailand in 2022 and subsequently expanded to Italy and Saudi Arabia, offering culinary highlights at each location. Now, it returns to Bangkok for the fifth time with “DINNER INCREDIBLE THAILAND 2025,” supported by 6ty Degrees and its renowned partners. This milestone underscores Bangkok’s growing recognition as a culinary hotspot and its potential as a world-class gastronomic destination.

“DINNER INCREDIBLE is more than just a meal – it’s a journey through culture, creativity, and encounters, born from the universal language of taste. Bangkok proved to be the perfect stage this time. All the chefs and I were deeply impressed by Thailand’s exceptional ingredients, its rich food and drink culture, and the inspiring atmosphere that so aptly embodies the spirit of DINNER INCREDIBLE. Together, we create a new, boundless dialogue through food,” says Giorgio Diana, founder and head chef of DINNER INCREDIBLE.
