Food experiences at Wonderfruit 2025

Every night of Wonderfruit 2025, we explore how food is more than a meal to us through playful, experimental and community-inspired food experiences. Here is just a glimpse at what’s in store each day.

The first night in The Fields begins at 6pm with Antto and Tables: Launching ‘Gathering Tables Wonderfruit. Inspired by community, this standing-only dinner is served buffet style, with small, hand-held dishes moving through the crowd as guests are invited to move too—no fixed courses, no pre-determined places.

All profits from Wandering Kitchen events will be donated to the Prince of Songkla University (PSU) to support the ongoing flood relief efforts in Hat Yai and Southern Thailand.

Set in the Ancestral Forest, this dinner launches both the painstakingly etched steel and stone ‘Gathering Tables Wonderfruit’ by artist Pinaree Sanpitak, as well as Wandering Kitchen, a prototype roving culinary pavilion led by Antto Melasniemi, which will make appearances across The Fields. 70 guests gather to explore an assortment of starters, mains and generous desserts, sourced from local fishermen and organic farmers. Reservations are available now, priced at THB 4,500 per guest.

Thursday evening also kicks off the first of our nightly chef’s tables at Wonder Kitchen, a reimagined and expanded cultural centerpiece with mostly reservation-only dinners. Starting at 7pm, Thai culinary virtuoso Chef Joe Napol Jantraget of Thai fine dining restaurant Kwann presents A Soulful Feast by the Embers.

Known for elevating deceptively simple dishes, Chef Joe will be serving nine courses inspired by smoke and fire. Expect flame-cooked dishes like Gaeng Som Goong, smoked coconut soup with fire-grilled local fish, Leek Oyster Skewers and Sundried Beef using fine cuts of locally-sourced Wagyu—ending the meal the Thai way with a little sweet coconut ice cream basque cheesecake. Pre-book a spot at THB 4,200, while availability lasts.

Friday night sees dinners that connect us to what lands in our plates and those who sit beside us. For those looking for an experience that pushes the boundaries of what food can be (and how we might interact with it) Electric Sheep and Modern Biology present Taste Sound, an immersive dining experience at Wonder Kitchen from 7pm. 

Sit down—and listen—as you enjoy comfort food that fuses Mediterranean-Thai ingredients and flavors. The menu plays on both Modern Biology’s work with fungi and Electric Sheep’s vibrant menu, including Giant Trevally Crudo & Mango Gazpacho (made with a blend of yellow and green mangos), Squid Roe and Mushroom Persillade Skewer and  Pumpkin & Lion’s Mane Gnocchi. Pre-bookings available, priced at THB 5,190 per person. 

In this experience, Chef duo Amerigo Tito Sesti and Yoan Martin showcase Mediterranean-Thai fusion comfort food, while musician-biologist Modern Biology provides a sonic context to each fresh ingredient. Connecting electric nodes to each ingredient, bio-electrical signals are translated into sounds and improvised harmonies. 

A brand-new Theatre of Pizza opens this year—a food pavilion located near Molam World created in collaboration with Peppina, offering authentic Neapolitan pizza, drinks and creative pizza-related workshops all day. Here, you’ll find a very special collaborative feast, starting at 6pm. 

Chef friends Allen Huynh, Melissa Bossou and Federico Fulceri trained together in Osteria Francescana, which was awarded three Michelin stars and ranked first in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants in both 2016 and 2018. They join Neapolitan pizzeria Peppina’s Paolo Vitaletti and Chef Em for a dining experience born out of shared nostalgia: Una Domenica on a Friday. Together, these masters of Italian cuisine recreate Italy’s Sunday tradition of feasts shared with family, friends and loved ones: La Domenica. 

Authentic Italian recipes take on a regional twist, including Mozzarella in Carrozza served in a misticanza of local herbs and pla ra, a fusion between ragù Napoletano and Vietnamese bò kho, classic Neapolitan pizza drizzled with Thai curry coconut oil and flame-grilled spiced pineapple with SangSom Rum topped with basil mascarpone cream. Very limited seating available—reserve for THB 4,200 per guest.

(Furio Posto will also have their own dining experience on Saturday—more on that below.)

Saturday is absolutely full of food experiences and chef’s tables. To make it easier to navigate, we’re going to break it down into breakfasts and brunches, lunches and dinners:

Breakfast: 

On both Saturday and Sunday, starting at 6am, Hikari no Asa: Light of the Morning offers a healthy, wholesome meal at Wonder Kitchen, created by Kiyuu, a creative Asian restaurant from Mie Prefecture and Yakushu Bar from Osaka. 

Pick and mix your own authentic Japanese breakfast, choosing from different onigiris (including ume and Niku Miso) or ochazuke—a simple, savory dish made by pouring hot green tea over rice—and pair with your own choice of miso soup, side-dishes and a traditional Japanese sweet. Reserve a spot for THB 790—or simply walk in on the day.

As Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band greets the morning at Solar Village with the rhythms and sounds of Isaan, Chef Antto and Wandering Kitchen arrives to provide a gentle entry to the day. From 5am, Antto and his friends offer warm, deeply comforting bowls of gently simmered grains, broths and porridges, served with light pickles and chutneys to balance deeper umami notes. Inspired by Tarini’s pre-dawn rituals at FieldChapters, this grounding morning meal nourishes the body and the soul. Very limited quantities available— first come, first served (quite literally). All profits will be donated to the ⁠Prince of Songkla University (PSU) to support flood relief in Hat Yai and Southern Thailand.

From 9am at the all-day lounge of Neramit, our first ever Saturday Disco Brunch runs until 2pm with sets from PARK:ING and T.E.P.. This is the only fully-shaded dance party on Saturday morning, with plenty of food and drinks to help keep your energy up. Everyone is invited—this is a non-ticketed event.

Lunch: 

At Wonder Kitchen, students from the Hospitality and Catering Training Center are coming all the way from Mae Sot to Chonburi with Chef Nut to deliver a menu immersed in their Karen heritage. Starting at 1pm, Mountain to Table: An Indigenous Karen Journey of Wild Forest Flavors immerses diners in the students’ indigenous roots and the cultural traditions that bind them to the land and the forest. From Laab Ka Rieng made with forest-foraged herbs, to bone broth rice porridge and burnt Karen-chilli paste, to a simple dessert of hand–rolled sticky rice balls, each course links back to indigenous ingenuity and the Karen’s sense of community.  Reservations only, priced at THB 2,500 per guest.

Dinner:

From 7pm at Wonder Kitchen, Allen Huynh, Melissa Bossou and Federico Fulceri reunite in the kitchen to present Fuori Posto, bringing together their cultures, their travels and their years of experience working together in Michelin-starred kitchens. Together they’re cooking courses inspired by the kindred coastlines of the Mediterranean and Thailand. Expect Italian dishes with signature Thai flavors, like beef cheek croquet paired with Khao Soi mayo, seafood spaghetti with tomato confit, burnt pomelo powder and kaffir lime, or even a tiramisu flavored with pandan and coconut lime cream. Very limited spaces remain—bookings available at THB 6,090.

If you’re looking for something ephemeral and experimental, contemporary local favorite Maru Maru Pizza presents Theatre of Dough and What Goes On It, a dinner that bends the definitions of this doughy dish, deconstructing the idea of pizza down to flour, water and yeast. Interpretations range from small and light to heavy, exploring different doughs and methods of fermentation, with flavors that draw from Thai and international cuisines. The first course starts at 6pm. Reservations only, priced at THB 3,900.

At 10pm, Wandering Kitchen reappears at Our Parkland—a brand new venue, nature’s hidden living room in a copse of Chamchuri trees—to present a Renegade Cooking Party. For anyone drifting in, it’s a place to gather, pause or keep the energy going beneath the stars with free-flow beer and wine. And if you’re hungry, Chef Antto and his merry band of cooks will serve a warm curry feast made from fresh herbs and ingredients foraged from The Fields earlier that day. With some cooks making music, some roving musicians making food, this little renegade ritual of heat, flavor and drinks offers late-night levity. As with other Wandering Kitchen events, all profits from this event will be donated to the ⁠Prince of Songkla University (PSU) to support flood relief in Hat Yai and Southern Thailand.
