Kung Krabaen Bay Development Center Wins GURU’S PICK Award for Sea Grape Serum

The Kung Krabaen Bay Development Study Center, located in Chanthaburi, has been honored with the prestigious GURU’S PICK award at the Cheewajit Awards 2026. According to a report by Matichon Online, the recognition was granted for the center's development of a specialized serum formulated with sea grape extract (Caulerpa lentillifera).

This award highlights the center's ongoing efforts to integrate local marine resources with scientific research to create high-value skincare products. For residents and visitors, this development underscores the region's growing reputation as a hub for sustainable marine-based innovation. The sea grape, often referred to as 'green caviar,' is a staple of the local coastal ecosystem, and its application in the beauty industry represents a significant step in promoting local agricultural and marine products on a national stage.

While the award confirms the product's recognition within the wellness and health industry, details regarding the commercial availability of the serum for the general public remain to be confirmed. Interested parties should monitor official announcements from the Kung Krabaen Bay Development Study Center for information on where the product can be purchased or tested. This achievement serves as a testament to the successful collaboration between local development centers and the broader Thai wellness sector.
