Thailand and Latin America may be worlds apart, but food has always brought us closer. From smokey spices to bold flavours, Bangkok has fallen hard for that Latin sabor – so much so that the city is now buzzing with restaurants that deliver the rhythm of the continent straight to your plate. Now, for the first-ever event at Bangkok’s rooftop park, Dusit Arun, all that flavour and energy comes together in one place. Bangkok Latinada 2025 is where the fiesta starts.
Taking place on October 18-19, this two-day festival is a full-on celebration of cuisine, culture and music. Over 20 top chefs from across the region will dish up authentic Latin dishes, from aguachile de callo y caldo de maíz by Venezuelan chef Carlos Rodriguez (SEEN, Bangkok) to carne asada tacos by Mexican chef Mauricio Espinoza (Papi’s Tacos, Singapore).
You can also join a Peruvian ceviche masterclass, try your hand at salsa-making for tacos, shake up a mezcal margarita or enjoy a pisco sour workshop. The vibe will be cranked up by live music and performances, including a Brazilian carnival parade and a high-energy Latin circus show.
Latinada began in Singapore in 2018, the brainchild of Peruvian husband-and-wife chefs Daniel and Tamara Chavez, who wanted to celebrate their culture with good food, lively music and fun gatherings. After making a splash abroad, the festival has finally arrived in Bangkok, showing once again that our city is a melting pot of tastes, sounds and culture.
Tickets are B450 per person, including B300 in food and beverage credit, redeemable at the event. The Group Package is B5,000, which includes B5,000 in food and beverage credit and access for up to 10 people.
