A New Buffet Flavor from Sukhumvit to Chiang Mai: Carito’s Teams with Anakade and Bar San for Thai‑Latin Dinner on June 25

On the evening of June 25, 2026, Carito’s and Toma y Toma on Sukhumvit 22 will host a special night that blends Thai and Latin flavors, featuring chefs from Anakade together with Chiang Mai’s renowned craft cocktail bar Bar San. The one‑night collaboration dinner is designed to present a creative fusion of food and drinks drawing from both cultures, with the organizers hoping to extend the conversation about taste that began with the three parties’ shared concept.

Carito’s, known for combining ingredients from many sources with modern culinary techniques, will welcome guest chefs from Anakade, a contemporary Thai restaurant, to help design a menu that merges Latin flavor dimensions with Thai elements. The organizers say the multi‑course dinner will range from small plates to mains using local Thai ingredients — including vegetables and herbs sourced from northern farms — but prepared with techniques and components inspired by Latin American cuisine, aiming for a balance between familiarity and novelty for diners.

On the drinks side, Chiang Mai’s Bar San will bring specially crafted cocktails paired with each course. Bar San has a reputation for using local ingredients and developing recipes that reflect Chiang Mai’s identity, such as local herbs, seasonal fruits, and aging techniques to build depth of flavor. Thoughtful food‑and‑cocktail pairings are intended to elevate the dining experience and are a key reason why experimental food and drink enthusiasts are interested in the event.

The event also reflects cross‑regional collaboration between Bangkok businesses and creative operators from Chiang Mai, a positive sign for cultural exchange in dining and taste‑driven tourism for both areas. Presenting northern ingredients in a Bangkok setting helps open new consumer markets for Chiang Mai products and services, while offering local operators opportunities to trial partner‑style business models.

For travelers and food lovers planning a trip to Chiang Mai or who enjoy local flavors, events like this offer a city‑to‑city experience that can encourage visitors to explore craft bars and restaurants in Chiang Mai. Those interested in attending the dinner should reserve seats in advance, as space is limited and one‑night events often sell out quickly. Organizers also emphasize current hygiene and safety recommendations for attendees.

The collaborative tasting event between Carito’s, Anakade, and Bar San is therefore not only a showcase of chefs’ and bartenders’ skills but also a platform to tell stories about local ingredients, brand building, and connecting creative businesses across regions. If well received, it could be the start of further collaborations that bring new menus and experiences to consumers in both Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
