The 22nd annual Shellfish and Squid Festival got underway at the scenic Cha-am beach viewpoint area on the evening of September 9, marking another year of celebrating the coastal town’s rich seafood heritage.

 

The festival’s official opening was overseen by Phetchaburi Governor, Mr. Nattachai Nampulsuksanti, and included notable figures such as Cha-am Mayor Mr. Nukul Pronsombunsiri and District Chief Mr. Somsak Yaempanthu Nui. Representatives from the Cha-am/Hua Hin Chefs Association, along with heads of various government departments, were also in attendance.

 

Guests were treated to a showcase of signature seafood dishes curated by some of the region’s top hotel chefs, with a special emphasis on fresh squid sourced locally.

 

Organized yearly, the Shellfish and Squid Festival seeks to bolster tourism, and stimulate the local economy. This year’s festival, which runs from September 9 to 16, is the result of a collaboration between the Cha-am municipality, the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Phetchaburi Office, the Phetchaburi Province Tourism Business Association, and Sing Corporation Co., Ltd.
