Tickets Available Now
Tickets for all World Gourmet Festival 2026 events went on sale on 1 July 2026. Organisers recommend booking early, as many of the chef-hosted dinners and tasting experiences traditionally sell out well in advance due to limited seating.
Now in its 26th edition, the World Gourmet Festival remains one of Asia’s premier culinary events, attracting some of the world’s leading chefs to Bangkok while celebrating global gastronomy, innovation and cross-cultural culinary collaboration.
