A team of four guest chefs from the internationally awarded Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, Chiang Mai – ranked fourth in the Top 100 Best Hotels in Asia, ninth in Travel & Leisure’s Top 15 Resorts in Asia and named one of the World’s Best Places to Stay in Conde Nast Travelers Gold List (USA) -- comes to Mandarin Oriental, Manila to lord over the Thai Food Festival in Paseo Uno on May 2 to 15.. Held with the support of Thai International Airways, this is Paseo Uno’s fourth Thai foodfest and the third collaboration with the Thailand luxury resort hotel.
