Women in Hospitality 2024 commences at the Banyan Tree Bangkok

Women in hospitality: they’re the people who take care of you as you walk through the door of establishments and put up with the ones who have had one drink too many. This time, it’s all about them. The Banyan Tree Bangkok is bringing in both local and international talents to demonstrate all the impressive things women do.

As you participate in the activities of Women in Hospitality 2024, 30% of the event’s revenue will be donated to the Halfway Home for Women Foundation.

8-Hand Women in Gastronomy Dinner

It’s a unique dinner opportunity for culinary enthusiasts aboard the Saffron Cruise, as the kitchen will be taken over by four women of the industry whose expertise in Thai cuisine and local ingredients will make your tastebuds dance with joy.

These women include Chef Saki Hoshino of Samlor and Nawa Central Thai Cuisine, Chef Som of Som’s Table, Chef Renu at Saffron, and Chef Sasha Phoomcharoen of Hybrid Restaurant.
