Here’s All You Can Expect From Thai Fruits & Food Festival That Takes Over Participating Outlets

If you have already been to Thailand, you are no stranger to its multitude of sweets and veggies that you can find at the market. The tropical fruits often end up winning the hearts of visitors with their sweetness and unique taste. But what if we tell you that you can actually devour all this and more right here in the UAE? Well, that’s true because the Thai Trade Centre Dubai, which is a part of the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce, Royal Thai Government, has announced the Thai Fruits & Food Festival 2026. Basically, this is a month-long promotion which will display Thai rice, vegetables, and seasonal fruits along with Thai food products at supermarkets across the UAE and Bahrain.
