🏆 One of the highlights was witnessing six local restaurants/businesses get awarded the Thai SELECT certificates, in a presentation ceremony hosted by the Thai Trade Center (Vancouver).
The Thai SELECT certificate is considered prestigious within the Thai restaurant industry, as it signifies a restaurant's commitment to authentic Thai cuisine. This certification ensures that restaurants meet high standards for food quality, taste, and service, reflecting genuine Thai culinary practices. As of April 2025, only 1,779 (9.4%) of the 18,852 Thai restaurants worldwide have received the Thai SELECT certification.
So congratulations to these restaurants/businesses for their achievements 👏 (in order of appearance on stage):
• Ban Chok Dee Fine Thai Cuisine
@banchokdeethai
• Sawasdee Thai Restaurant
@sawasdeethaionmain
