After a successful debut last year, Thailand Craft Cocoa is back to please chocolate and cocoa lovers with a variety of "craft at heart" cocoa products at the Eden Zone and Central Court, 1st floor of CentralWorld, Ratchadamri Road, from today until May 8.
Held to support the community of Thai cocoa lovers for a second year, the festival is an opportunity to indulge in drinks made from quality cacao beans from plantations throughout the country.
Among the famous chocolate cafes ready to serve award-winning items will be Sakulthai Chocolate, winner of the Gold Prize Craft Drink from the International Chocolate Award 2024, whose cocoa is sourced from a farm in Surin; and AfterChoc.Chocolate whose Si-Da, a chocolate drink with guava juice and smooth foaming texture, won the XOCO Craft Brewer Championship 2023.
Also participating are Yayaz Chocolat, which presents 100% vegan chocolate from cocoa farms in northern Thailand; and Siamaya, a well-known chocolate brand from Chiang Mai which offers a new experience in its signature Thai Bullet Chili, an exotic homemade dark chocolate.

At this year's special Bar Take Over zone craft cocoa drinks are served under a different concept each day.
