The project ran from June 28 to 29, 2025, aiming to enhance participants’ knowledge and skills in halal food preparation, including ingredient selection, curry paste making, food decoration, and plating techniques tailored for the tourism service industry.
The program included academic lectures and group hands-on sessions covering the preparation of savory dishes, snacks, fruit carving, and food plating. The sessions were led by Asst.

This initiative responds to evolving tourism trends, particularly in the halal market segment, while empowering new entrepreneurs along the southern coastal areas to run quality and sustainable businesses. It is a key driver toward the long-term development of Thailand’s marine tourism sector.
