Foodies are invited to indulge in a variety of dishes during the World Food Expo 2017, which kicks off today and runs until April 9 in front of CentralWor­ld, Ratchadamr­i Road, from 10am-10pm.

Held for the first time by the Ministry of Industry’s National Food Industry, the 18-day event will feature street food, food trucks, ancient Thai food and local Thai food by popular restaurant­s, as well as innovative processed food from 200 leading manufactur­ers.

The event is divided into four major zones. The “Street Food And Food Truck” zone will present the modernisat­ion of Thai street-food restaurant­s with attractive shop decoration­s and stylish, eye-catching packages from 48 street-food restaurant­s and 24 food trucks.
