Le Cordon Bleu Dusit is proud to announce that the institute has been awarded the Prix du Rayonnement Gastronomique (Gastronomy Category) at the prestigious Grand Prix du Rayonnement Français, marking a significant milestone in the school’s continued contribution to the promotion of French culinary excellence in Thailand.

The award ceremony took place on 4 March 2026 at Alliance Française Bangkok and represented a historic occasion as the first international edition of the Grand Prix du Rayonnement Français ever held outside France. The event formed part of the celebrations commemorating the 170th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and Thailand, recognizing individuals and institutions that strengthen cultural ties between the two nations through excellence, education, and expertise.

   

The evening was graciously attended by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, who was presented with the Prix d’Honneur du Rayonnement Français in recognition of her longstanding dedication to the promotion of the French language and academic exchange between Thailand and France.

Le Cordon Bleu Dusit extends its sincere appreciation to the Embassy of France in Thailand and the Association pour le Rayonnement Français for this distinguished recognition. The institute is also honored to celebrate alongside fellow laureates, including Michelin Guide East Asia and Alliance Française Bangkok, whose continued contributions help strengthen the vibrant cultural friendship between France and Thailand.

   

This award reflects Le Cordon Bleu Dusit’s enduring commitment to excellence in culinary education and its role as a bridge between French gastronomic heritage and Thailand’s dynamic culinary landscape.
