Bangkok, Thailand, November 23, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will preside over the Bangkok Chef Charity Fundraising Gala Luncheon 2024, which will be held on Saturday, February 17, 2024, in the Royal Ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok.

After a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bangkok Chef Charity Fundraising Gala (11th edition) will take place in 2024, organized by Jivanand Company Limited under the direction of Managing Director Nuntiya Intralib. For the first time in the history of this charity event, eleven Michelin-starred restaurants and top hotels in Bangkok and Hong Kong, as well as three leading culinary academies in Bangkok, will participate. A total of 30 chefs will create a 10-course gourmet menu for 360 guests.

All proceeds from the charity event will benefit hospitals of the Debaratana Vejjanukula Foundation, which is under the patronage of Her Royal Highness.

“I am delighted and honored that the presentation of Jun Ka Pak jasmine rice, grown in the provinces of Surin and Buriram, is among the highlights of Bangkok Chef Charity 2024. This rice variety is cultivated and fertilized using organic, natural, and chemical-free fertilizers,” said Nuntiya. “The Jun Ka Pak jasmine rice will be served as a canapé and as a main course in the 10-course menu.”

“We also have a brand new logo for Bangkok Chef Charity, designed and created by a talented student from the Chitrlada Academy,” Nuntiya added.

The unique Bangkok Chef Charity events, renowned for their glamour, stunning attire, and luxurious cuisine, were launched in 2009. At that time, pairs of chefs from leading Bangkok hotels created exquisite feasts to raise funds for underprivileged children in remote areas of Thailand. The tenth edition in 2019 raised a record 44 million baht – the highest amount in the event's ten-year history. All proceeds from dinner ticket sales, auctions, and generous donations from guests, including philanthropists from the city's high-society and business communities, were presented to Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn for charitable purposes under her patronage and donated to disadvantaged schools in remote areas of northern Thailand.

Once again, “young chefs”, consisting of students from leading international schools in Bangkok, will participate alongside the star chefs.

The Bangkok Chef Charity 2024 is supported by generous sponsors, including Tops Wine Cellar, Evian, Jagota Brothers Trading Co., Ltd., Premium Food, Lucaris, Clement Design Thailand, who contributed specially designed jackets for all participating chefs, Knightsbridge Group, Krungthep Light Orchestra, RP Media Group and Krinbourne Communications.
