One of the greatest gifts from Mother Nature, cacao deserves its own celebration. Head out to these places in Bangkok to celebrate the World Chocolate Day on 7 July.
Although World Chocolate Day doesn’t receive the majorly grand celebration it deserves in Bangkok just yet, there are a few places around town that appreciate this bittersweet ingredient. On 7 July, and probably for the whole month, we’re set to seek some creative renditions of chocolate desserts. While some places are hosting events especially for World Chocolate Day, some offer delicious chocolate all year long. Take your pick.
