Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Opens Camellia Oil Festival
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn presided over the opening of the Phattharaphat Camellia Oil Festival, demonstrating traditional culinary skills.
On October 7, 2026, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn officially opened the Phattharaphat Camellia Oil Festival. According to a report by Matichon Online, the Princess participated in a cooking demonstration during the event, where she prepared 'Khanom Khangkhao' (bat-shaped snacks) using camellia oil.
This festival highlights the Phattharaphat brand, which promotes the use of camellia oil—a product developed under royal initiatives to support sustainable agriculture and local health. For residents and visitors, the event serves as a cultural showcase of Thai culinary heritage and the integration of royal development projects into modern food production.
While the festival celebrates the versatility of camellia oil in traditional recipes, it also underscores the ongoing efforts to promote high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Travelers interested in Thai gastronomy may find this event significant as it bridges the gap between traditional royal-inspired cuisine and contemporary health-conscious cooking. As of now, specific details regarding the duration of the festival and the full list of participating vendors remain to be confirmed by the organizers. Those planning to visit should check local announcements for further updates on exhibition schedules.
