The festival will be in the mall’s Event Hall.

There’ll also be fun and activities and interesting discussions, including a talk on “Sufficient Living” by Jon Jandai, who leads the life he’s advocating (September 21 at 2pm).

Autthapol “Tee the Voice” Chaisiri will be singing royal compositions  (September 21 at 1pm and 6pm). There’s a workshop on painting chrysanthemums in watercolours (daily from 11am to 8pm).

And you can watch chefs demonstrating how to use healthy avocado in all sorts of dishes (September 21 at 10pm and 5pm).

Visitors can sample avocado-flavoured ice cream and buy the fruit fresh or processed, along with other produce from the Royal Projects, including macadamia nuts and coffee, plus handicrafts from Doi Tung.

Avocado ice cream is as healthy as can be, but other temptations will be Avocado and Sweet Corn Salad with Shrimp in a special sauce, Avocado Spicy Salad with Tasmanian salmon in a tangy tamarind sauce.

Avocado Spring Rolls and Grilled Chicken mix various culinary notions – a European salad, flavours of the Thai Northeast, and Vietnam’s delicate spring roll topped with mayonnaise-namtok sauce and sprinkled with popped rice.

Avocado with Gruyere Cheese on Crispy Toast has a dusting of cheddar powder on top and the baked result is rich and aromatic.
