With the arrival of Thailand’s warm season, one of the country’s most cherished seasonal dishes returns to the table. At Benjarong, Dusit Thani Hua Hin, guests are invited to enjoy Royal Thai Khao Chae, a traditional summer delicacy that reflects the elegance and cultural heritage of Thai cuisine.


Long associated with the Songkran season, khao chae is known for its refreshing simplicity and delicate preparation. Fragrant jasmine rice is gently chilled in floral-scented water, creating a light and cooling dish designed to offer relief from the summer heat.

At Benjarong, the resort’s Thai culinary team presents the dish in keeping with classic Thai traditions, carefully preparing each element to preserve the refined balance of flavours that defines this iconic seasonal speciality.

The set is served with a selection of traditional accompaniments including crispy shrimp paste balls, stuffed sweet peppers, shredded sweet pork and stir-fried sweet preserved radish, each crafted to complement the fragrant rice. Intricately carved seasonal vegetables complete the presentation, highlighting the artistry and attention to detail that are hallmarks of Thai culinary culture.

Elegant and refreshing, Royal Thai Khao Chae offers a unique opportunity to experience one
of Thailand’s most beloved summer traditions in an authentic setting. Royal Thai Khao Chae will be available at Benjarong, Dusit Thani Hua Hin, from 1 April to 30 April 2026, priced at THB 699 net per set.
