Tourexpi
Held over the weekend
of 27 – 28 May 2023, the event brought together various hip venues
along Sathorn Sois 10 and 12 near Bangkok’s central business district and
featured a wide range of pop-up drinking, dining, entertainment, and arts and
crafts experiences held both at the hotel and throughout the
neighbourhood.
Specially for the
occasion, renowned local restaurants and bars such as Le Café des Stagiaires,
ModKaew Wine Bar, Kai New Zealand, XII Mediterranean, Bardo, Mezcal, and Cetara
offered special promotions on their respective food and drinks menus. Some
venues also hosted live performances by local bands and DJs – including a
mesmerising drag performance at Mezcal.
Reflecting ASAI
Bangkok Sathorn’s intent to become a vibrant community hub, the hotel presented
a pop-up burger stall by Little Market, a unique Burmese lunch experience by
guest chef Lady GooGoo, an evening cocktail and DJ party with Aperol, an art
exhibition featuring the works of local artists, and a series of interactive
workshops, including a latte art workshop by Rocket Coffeebar, a sustainable
‘BioPlastic’ product workshop by Hutsama, and a creative photography workshop
led by Bangkok’s renowned ex-motorcycle taxi rider-turned-pro photographer
Phichai Kaewvichit.
An exclusive dinner
experience by guest chefs Bo Songvisava and Dylan Jones, the masterminds behind
ASAI Bangkok Sathorn’s exciting restaurant concept, ERR Urban Rustic Thai, also
wowed diners with authentic Thai cuisine crafted from seasonal and sustainable
ingredients. The duo’s former restaurant, Bo.Ian, earned a Michelin Star for a
similar approach.
Food lovers also
indulged in an exclusive Trattoria Sunday Brunch, which was specially created
at the hotel by guest chefs Manuelo from Giglio and Miro from
Cetara.
“Bringing the
community together in events like this embodies the essence of the ASAI
experience,” said Mr Siradej Donavanik, Vice President – Development Global,
Dusit International and Head of Culture for ASAI Hotels. “At ASAI, our
commitment lies in enabling our guests to ‘Live Local’ and forging meaningful
connections with our neighbours to craft extraordinary experiences for visitors
and locals alike. The resounding success of the Hamlet Block Party is a
testament to this community-focused approach, and we are delighted to have
provided an unforgettable gathering for all who joined us."
Created by Dusit
International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and property development
companies, ASAI Hotels is a distinctive lifestyle brand designed to link
curious, millennial-minded travellers with authentic local experiences in the
world’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Its operations are built on four key
pillars: Thoughtful Essentials, Common Areas, Locally Inspired, and Connected Community.
The first
ASAI-branded property, ASAI Bangkok Chinatown, opened in September
2020 in the heart of the city’s renowned Chinatown district. It is now one of
the top-rated hotels on TripAdvisor.
ASAI Bangkok Sathorn
aims to build on this success by linking guests with another vibrant
neighbourhood – this one renowned for its cluster of hip bars and restaurants –
just a five-minute walk from Saint Louis BTS (Skytrain) Station, and a few
blocks away from the buzzing Silom Road, on Sathorn Soi 12.
Alongside 106
thoughtfully compact rooms that focus on the essentials, such as highly
comfortable beds, powerful showers, high-quality amenities, and work desks with
USB charging stations, the new property boasts a spacious and welcoming
communal space that features a cosy neighbourhood bar, a comfortable co-working
area, and ERR Rustic Thai Dining, as mentioned above.
Guests also benefit
from ASAI’s team of ‘community ambassadors,’ who are on hand to share their
in-depth knowledge of the neighbourhood and guide guests towards hidden gems
and local treasures, with itineraries tailored to suit individual
preferences.
To celebrate its
grand opening, ASAI Bangkok Sathorn is offering a special room package starting
at only THB 2,500 net per night for a Cosy King or Twin Room, inclusive of breakfast.
The offer is available for booking from now until 30 June 2023 for stay dates
