Takara Wong takeover at The Parlor, The Standard Bangkok
Until 30 June
Thai fashion label, Takara Wong has taken over The Parlor on the 4th floor of The Standard Bangkok. Here, we witness the lush beauty of Bangsaen from the designer’s perspective through various elements, including food, drinks, and design. Our all-time favourite dish has to be the Black Ink Pad Thai. However, the Grilled Bang Saen Yellow Chicken was also phenomenal as it was super juicy and flavourful. For the drinks, we highly recommend the Azure Horizon cocktail as it is light, refreshing, and not too sweet. There will also be a closing party at WONG BAR in Bangsaen, where The Standard will takeover WONG BAR on the 29th of June.
You can find more information at Takara Wong.
