For the main course, guests can choose from a selection prepared on the teppan, including Salmon, Tiger Prawn, Hokkaido Hotate Scallop, Kurobuta Pork Loin and Beef, accompanied by teppan-seared seasonal vegetables and fragrant Ninniku Chahan. Beyond the teppan, the selection continues with Tempura Moriawase, Mentaiko Carbonara, Wagyu Beef Hash, Wagyu Beef Hamburg Curry and Kaisen Don, generously topped with tuna, salmon, hamachi, prawn, scallop and salmon roe.

The brunch selection extends to Black Cod Saikyo, glazed with Kyoto miso; Boston Lobster, teppan-seared or grilled with garlic butter; and A4 Japanese Wagyu Beef, prepared on the teppan, each available at an additional charge.

Bringing an added sense of occasion to the table, two signature tableside experiences are available for an additional charge. Wagyu Carving for Two is roasted to order and carved at the table, accompanied by fried potato, miso-glazed seasonal vegetables, Dashi Yorkshire pudding, red miso jus and wasabi cream.  The KiSara Kaisen Tower presents a two-tier iced composition of chutoro, bluefin tuna, yellowtail, uni and ikura, alongside chilled Boston lobster, Japanese oyster, Hokkaido scallop, sweet shrimp, octopus and salmon, with its final presentation completed tableside with liquid nitrogen.

Park Hyatt Bangkok X Nova Contemporary: Championing Emerging Thai Talent

Park Hyatt Bangkok, where art has been a defining pillar of the hotel’s identity since its opening, continues its collaboration with Nova Contemporary with a new exhibition by emerging Thai artist Padungsub Prachanan (Padung), on view from 24 September to 24 November 2026.

The exhibition reflects Park Hyatt Bangkok’s philosophy of creating meaningful connections between art, design, culture and hospitality, while providing a platform for the next generation of Thai creative talent. As art continues to shape the character and guest experience of the hotel, the collaboration with Nova Contemporary extends this commitment by bringing contemporary Thai artistic voices into dialogue with Park Hyatt Bangkok’s established collection.

A graduate of Silpakorn University’s Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Padung follows a lineage of Thai artists closely connected to the hotel, including acclaimed artist Chatchai Puipia, also a Silpakorn University alumnus. Chatchai’s works form part of Park Hyatt Bangkok’s permanent art collection, while his longstanding relationship with the hotel’s ownership brings an added layer of significance to this latest collaboration.

For this presentation, Padung explores landscape as a space shaped by memory, perception and lived experience. Moving between Thailand and Switzerland has influenced the way he observes terrain, vegetation, light and atmosphere, with impressions from different places gradually informing one another. His paintings move beyond straightforward representation, reflecting instead on how places remain in memory and how those memories shift through experience.

Featured works include Nothing Much Happened (2026), A Forest in Geneva (2026), Another Field in the Same Place 1 (2026) and Another Field in the Same Place 3 (2026). Together, the four works reflect Padung’s continued interest in how place, memory and visual experience intersect across different cultural and geographic contexts.

The exhibition further reflects Park Hyatt Bangkok’s ongoing commitment to supporting emerging Thai artists and providing a platform where art, design, community and hospitality come together. Through its collaboration with Nova Contemporary, the hotel continues to foster local creative talent and bring Thai artistic perspectives to an international audience.

Soaring LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar Launches Viva La Fiesta: Ladies’ Night

LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar has unveiled ‘Viva La Fiesta: Ladies’ Night’, a weekly celebration brimming with complimentary free-flow bubbles for ladies, authentic Spanish tapas, lively beats and sweeping views of Bangkok’s glittering skyline.

Held every Wednesday from 7pm, the sky-high gathering brings together friends in the spirit of a Spanish fiesta on the 33^rd and 34^th floors of INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit. The complimentary free-flow bubbles are exclusively for ladies between 7-9pm and accompany two delectable menus.

Live percussionists and guest DJs spinning Spanish-modern house and tribal beats keep the vibrant atmosphere going well into the evening.

Madrid-born Spanish Chef de Cuisine Juan Ignacio García Racionero, a.k.a Chef Nacho, who has honed his craft in some of Spain’s most acclaimed kitchens, takes centre stage with his signature giant pan of paella featuring rotating flavours such as chicken, pork, seafood, and vegetables.

A special Viva La Fiesta: Ladies’ Night menu features Huevos Rotos con Gambas al Ajillo y Caviar, a Spanish classic presented tableside by Chef Nacho comprising crispy potatoes, tender prawns, and caviar, and finished with fried eggs. The menu’s cocktails include one litre each of Agua de Valencia, made up of orange juice, cava, vodka and gin, and Sangria.

Meanwhile, standout items from LUZ’s new regular menu include Steak tartar y Gilda San Sebastian, pairing Wagyu tenderloin tartare with brown and white anchovies and Spanish pickles on ciabatta, Tacos de Rabo de Toro, featuring braised oxtail, roasted piquillo peppers and smoked Idiazabal cheese folded into homemade corn tacos, and black squid-ink fideuà with red prawns and octopus.

The venue delivers a spectacle unlike any other in the city, with diners on the 33rd floor able to peer into the transparent bottom of the hotel’s 34th-floor infinity pool.

Before joining INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, Chef Racionero worked at Michelin-starred Saddle as well as DiverXO, recognised among The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, in addition to acclaimed Spanish restaurants El Jardín de la Máquina and Montellén.

As day turns to night, the hotel’s 34th floor, featuring a pool bar, transparent infinity pool, rooftop terrace dotted with outdoor lounges and sunbeds, and contemporary interpretation of Bangkok’s Brahman structure The Giant Swing, becomes a natural extension of the 33rd-floor tapas bar.

Banyan Tree Samui Weaves Sustainable New Partnership With Local Artisans Banyan Tree Gallery Samui begins retail of high-quality beach bags, handwoven and crafted by farmers in southern Thailand.

KOH SAMUI, Thailand – Banyan Tree Samui, one of Thailand’s leading beachfront resorts, has announced a partnership with T.A.I Studio, bringing a collection of handwoven bags and baskets from Phatthalung in southern Thailand to the resort’s onsite boutique, Banyan Tree Gallery Samui.

The collection is made from krajood sedge and banana tree fibre — materials grown and gathered in Phatthalung — transformed by combining traditional weaving and production methods with contemporary design.

T.A.I Studio was founded by husband-and-wife Nick and Sai Rawling as a way of connecting these existing materials, skills and making traditions with luxury hospitality. Today the studio works alongside a network of growers, weavers and specialist makers around Phatthalung, with different hands contributing weaving, hand-loomed cotton, embroidery, leatherwork and finishing.

“When these traditions are thoughtfully integrated into contemporary hospitality, something else becomes possible,” said Rawling. “Visitors encounter a culture that is living rather than displayed.”

“The product isn’t the whole experience,” Rawling added. “It’s a way into a much bigger story about people and place. That’s why working with Banyan Tree feels particularly relevant — there is a shared interest in connecting hospitality to its surroundings rather than importing a sense of place.”

Banyan Tree has a longstanding commitment to both sustainability and working with local communities.

“We chose T.A.I Studio bags because they closely align with ‘Banyan Tree’s founding ethos of ‘Embracing the Environment, Empowering Communities’,” said Spa & Gallery Manager Naphasawan Badklang. “These products celebrate local craftsmanship and heritage.”

“By showcasing these bags at Banyan Tree Gallery Samui, we help promote the artisans’ stories and craftsmanship to a wider audience,” she added.

Banyan Tree Samui’s onsite boutique showcases a number of locally infused handicrafts and signature amenities, including Banyan Tree bath & body treatments and aromatherapy collections, which combine Asian-inspired ingredients with natural botanical blends. All retailed products meet Banyan Tree’s criteria of supporting personal wellbeing while being mindful of the environment.

Banyan Tree Gallery was founded on a simple belief – that commerce can be an engine for good.

For more than three decades, the brand has supported artisan livelihoods worldwide, preserving the cultural heritage of craft, and advancing a more sustainable future.

What began as a small initiative has grown into a global ecosystem of purposeful commerce. To date, Banyan Tree Gallery has commissioned more than 1.2 million products, supported 339 communities, and collaborated with 240 non-profit organisations.

A Sanctuary for the Senses

Banyan Tree Samui’s 88 spacious pool villas, each with its own private infinity pool, provide a serene and secluded oasis where guests can unwind and reconnect with nature. Designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, the villas feature contemporary Thai architecture and are adorned with locally sourced materials and artwork, creating a truly authentic and immersive experience.

The resort hosts three restaurants, including Saffron which was recently listed in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide. Other onsite facilities include a fitness centre, a kids’ club, a meetings and events centre, a spa with unique Rainforest hydrotherapy facility, and a library.

For reservations and more information, contact samui@banyantree.com or tel: +66 077 915 333.

Villas at Banyan Tree Samui, each with a private infinity pool, start from US$585 per night.

Available from 1 to 31 August 2026 at The Authors’ Lounge, the limited-time afternoon tea draws inspiration from Light of Bangkok, the bespoke fragrance created for the hotel’s 150^th  anniversary, bringing together fragrance, gastronomy and craftsmanship in celebration of this milestone year.

Created by Thai perfumer Pissara “Ploi” Umavijani, founder of Paris-based Parfums Dusita, the fragrance was inspired by the hotel’s distinctive atmosphere, from its polished wood interiors and marble floors to the calming hues of Celadon Green. Bright notes of bergamot, clary sage and lemongrass give way to jasmine, ylang-ylang and orris butter before settling into sandalwood, vetiver and musk, capturing both the spirit of Bangkok and the unmistakable character of Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok.

“Creating Light of Bangkok was a very personal journey for me. I wanted to capture the warmth, elegance and unique spirit I feel whenever I return to Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok. Seeing the fragrance now inspire this afternoon tea is especially meaningful, as it brings together scent, taste and memory in such a beautiful and unexpected way. ”Pissara Umavijani, Founder and Perfumer of Parfums Dusita

Inspired by the fragrance, Pablo Gicquel, the Executive Pastry Chef and the hotel’s culinary team have created an afternoon tea in which each savoury and sweet creation reflects one of its distinctive notes. Savoury creations include bergamot-cured scallop with ylang-ylang, jasmine-scented crab with young coconut, vetiver-infused green pea and pandan, orris with tuna and beetroot, and foie gras with truffle and sandalwood. Sweet highlights include bergamot tea cake, jasmine-scented vanilla cake with mango marmalade, ylang-ylang banana pie, sandalwood-scented whisky chocolate and a commemorative 150^th anniversary chocolate sable with lemongrass and jasmine ganache, along with traditional scones and seasonal preserves.

The collaboration continues with two exclusive fragrance workshops on 8 and 18 August 2026, led by Pissara “Ploi” Umavijani, Thai perfumer and founder of Parfums Dusita.

During each session, guests will discover the inspiration behind Light of Bangkok, explore its signature ingredients, and gain exclusive insight into the creative process behind the bespoke fragrance that captures the timeless elegance and gracious hospitality of Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok. The workshop concludes with the Light of Bangkok Afternoon Tea, inviting guests to experience the fragrance through both scent and flavour.
