5th Samui food and product fair

It has been announced that running from August 9th to the 15th, the 5th Samui Food and Product fair will be held in Bophut subdistrict’s Chaweng Lake. The fair will showcase local farmer’s produce in a bid to encourage growth both at the farming level as well as hoping restaurants on the island will increase their local purchasing of foodstuffs for their businesses.

Ko Samui is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southern Thailand and it is known for its many delicious dishes, savoured by visitors from around the world. The Samui mayor Varakon Rattanarak said in a statement that he also saw the fair as way for local food producers to increase their income and create lasting supply relationships with restaurants on the island.

There will be many events over the week to give visitors a sampling of the many local specialties, competitions between products and just to make sure even folks that aren’t so into food will show up, the old faithful attention grabber, a beauty contest to crown Miss Samui will be held.
