Coffee lovers should not miss this. For the first time, the large-scale coffee festival Sansiri Phuket | Sip & Inspire brings together flavour, passion, and community in one place. Sansiri, in collaboration with Phuketian Coffee (Horoy Phuket Coffee Association), led by Future Kittipob, Thailand National Barista Champion 2025, aims to support and strengthen Phuket’s local café and coffee business community, encouraging sustainable growth alongside the wider community.

The event also opens up creative space for baristas to develop new drink concepts. The festival is open to everyone and free to attend, running from January 16 to 18, 1pm to 6pm, at The Society, Cherng Talay, Phuket.

Good Coffee | Good Food | Coffee Competition | Live DJ

Sansiri transforms The Society in the Bang Tao area into a dedicated coffee market for coffee lovers throughout the event. The festival also features a competition stage designed to give opportunities to a new generation of baristas filled with talent and passion.

The competition is supported by leading partners, including BEANS Coffee Roaster (coffee beans), CP-Meiji, and Aroma, a leading coffee machine brand. Baristas will compete by creating a Signature Creative Drink under the theme “Taste of Phuket,” crafting coffee beverages that reflect Phuket’s identity.
