Thailand Coffee Fest 2024 Kicks Off: Connecting Nature, Coffee, and People 11-14 July 2024 at IMPACT Exhibition Halls 5-8 Muang Thong Thani

Friday 12 July 2024 – Thailand Coffee Fest 2024, the largest coffee festival in Southeast Asia, has officially begun. This year’s event is themed “Regeneration,” focusing on the holistic improvement of nature, coffee, and people through creative activities and over 300 shopping booths spread across 20,000 square meters. Attendees will have the chance to meet world champion baristas and renowned coffee experts who will share their knowledge and surprise coffee lovers throughout the event. The festival runs from today until July 14, 2024, at IMPACT Exhibition Halls 5-8, Muang Thong Thani.

Ms. Natdha Khunawutthanathon, President of the Specialty Coffee Association of Thailand, stated, “The core mission of the Thailand Coffee Fest is to elevate the Thai specialty coffee industry by supporting and developing all sectors involved, from upstream to downstream. This includes the Thai Specialty Coffee Awards 2024, which aims to educate and promote coffee farmers, and the Thailand Es Yen Championship 2024 and Thailand Coffee Event 2025, which seek to find national champions to compete globally in the Thailand National Brewers Cup Championship 2025 and Thailand National Barista Championship 2025. Visitors will also benefit from a variety of high-quality products, making the Thailand Coffee Fest more than just an event, but a reunion that brings together all parts of the coffee industry to share knowledge, experiences, and products closely, ultimately building a strong and sustainable community for Thai specialty coffee.”

Additionally, we recognize the potential of Thai specialty coffee to compete internationally. Therefore, we have created opportunities and spaces for international participants to exchange coffee cultures and inspire one another through the Coffee Around the World zone. This year, participants from nine countries, including Peru, Indonesia, South Korea, and Panama, will join the event.

Mr. Changnoi Kunjara, Managing Director of Cloud and Ground Co., Ltd. added, “This year, Thailand Coffee Fest 2024 has transformed a 20,000 square meter area into a vibrant space filled with seven special activity zones and over 300 small business booths. Leading partners have also joined to support farmers and quality coffee products, aiming to grow the business. We expect over 100,000 attendees over the four days, with an estimated economic impact of over 500 million baht. This event not only stimulates the mid-year economy but also showcases Thailand Coffee Fest’s systematic and environmentally conscious organization over the past nine years, earning widespread recognition both domestically and internationally as a model coffee event that sets the direction and future of the Thai specialty coffee industry. The event stands out by bringing together comprehensive activities and real experts, including world champions, farmers, and coffee gurus, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere every year.”
