Why this festival is worth the trip

Mae Klong mackerel is a GI product and a staple of the Thai kitchen. This year is more than a row of food stalls. It is a year-end food festival that brings steamed mackerel, preserved-fish dishes, and local food together in one place, along with local products and stage performances. The provincial chamber’s goal is to raise Samut Songkhram toward becoming a gastronomy city.
