The 15th Kunming Thailand Festival in 2025 opens

Yunnan is one of the provinces in China closest to Thailand on land. In recent years, Yunnan and Thailand have achieved a series of pragmatic cooperation results in areas such as connectivity, economic and trade investment, cultural tourism, and tropical agriculture.

The theme of this year's Thailand Festival is "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between Thailand and China - the Golden Jubilee of Thailand China Friendship", which will last until June 1st. Among them, the "Thailand Night" event will be held on May 31st, where dancers who came from Thailand will bring traditional Thai performances. Famous Thai film and television actor Film Thanapat will also come to the event site to interact with fans.

On that day, more than 60 Thai merchants gathered at the event site, showcasing a wide range of specialty products such as Thai durian, latex products, handmade jewelry, Thai spices, and authentic Thai cuisine such as curry crab, mango glutinous rice, and Thai fried chicken.

I have participated in 6 editions of the Kunming Thailand Festival, and coming back this time feels like going to an old friend gathering.

She said that the Kunming Thailand Festival held every year is a good opportunity for Kunming residents to experience Thai culture without leaving their homes.

A Thai company brought imported durian directly from Thailand to the site, which was welcomed by many citizens. Shen Junwanyue, head of the marketing department of the enterprise in Yunnan, said that with the opening of the China Laos railway and the opening of the port of Guanlei in Xishuangbanna, various Thai fruits could enter the Chinese market more easily.

Since 2008, the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Thailand in Kunming has successfully held 15 sessions of the Kunming Thailand Festival, showcasing Thailand's ethnic customs, natural scenery, and culinary culture to the Chinese people through this platform.
