Thai Week by the Sea in Tulum: One of the Best Events in January

If you’re searching for unforgettable events in Tulum, January brings one of the most immersive cultural experiences of the season: Thai Week by the Sea at La Zebra, taking place January 16–18.

This year’s event is elevated even further by the participation of Chef Jakkree from Mezzanine Restaurant, one of the most respected names in Tulum’s culinary scene. Known for his refined Thai cuisine and oceanfront dining experience, Chef Jakkree brings authentic flavors, technique, and creativity to this limited-time celebration by the sea.

For travelers looking to escape winter, Thai Week is a compelling reason to plan a January getaway to Tulum where culture, cuisine, and coastal energy meet.

Why Thai Week Is One of the Top Tulum Events This January

Tulum continues to evolve as a destination for travelers seeking meaningful experiences beyond the beach. From wellness gatherings to chef-led pop-ups, Tulum events now attract food lovers, wellness seekers, and experience-driven travelers from cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Austin, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Thai Week by the Sea stands out because it offers:

  • A curated multi-day program rather than a single-night event
  • Limited-capacity experiences for intimacy and quality
  • A unique fusion of Thai and Mexican flavors
  • Wellness rituals inspired by Thai traditions
  • A beachfront setting at one of Tulum’s most iconic locations

 

A Culinary Collaboration Led by Chef Jakkree

A highlight of Thai Week is the culinary collaboration led by Chef Jakkree of Mezzanine Restaurant, internationally recognized for bringing elevated Thai cuisine to Tulum.

During Thai Week, Chef Jakkree joins forces with guest chefs for the 4 Hands – 6 Course Dinner, a refined dining experience that showcases:

  • Authentic Thai flavors
  • Seasonal local ingredients
  • Thai–Mexican culinary techniques
  • Thoughtful presentation and storytelling through food

This collaboration makes Thai Week a must for travelers searching for Tulum food events, chef-led dining experiences, and unique culinary events in Mexico.
