TAIWAN EXPO 2024 in Thailand not only showcased Taiwan's strengths across various industries but also highlighted its unique culinary and artisan culture while promoting Taiwan as a travel destination. For the first time, the exhibition featured TAIWAN SELECT Pavilion, which attracted numerous buyers and visitors to try Taiwanese delicacies.

Other popular items, including pineapple cakes, mochi, popcorn, and jellies, also obtained high praise, delighting the taste buds of Thailand people.
Taiwan Culture and Creativity Pavilion added further vibrancy with interactive workshops, such as handmade lanterns activities and Taiwan Native Plant Color Workshop. These experiences were met with enthusiastic participation from visitors, successfully conveying the essence of Taiwanese culture.
