High-fives for the Okura Prestige
The Okura Prestige Bangkok is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year through five charitable activities spread over five months and designed to share the hotel’s success with the community.
The “Month of Children” began in January when the hotel committed to build an educational playground and donate money to a rural school in need of support for the educational development and wellbeing of children.
“Month of Love” followed in February with special a Hearts & Roses Afternoon Tea using low-fat and heart-healthy ingredients such as blood oranges, berries, nuts, and omega 3 rich fish such as smoked salmon and smoked trout.
March is “The Month of Japan”. For the past two years, The Okura Prestige Bangkok has supported a charity concert organised by the Pray for Japan initiative through the use of the hotel’s Grand Ballroom. This year, The Okura Prestige Bangkok, the only Japanese brand hotel in Thailand, will host a charity concert and will make an additional contribution to Pray for Japan, in order help those impacted by natural disasters in the country. This event will also celebrate 130 years of relations between Thailand and Japan.
In April, The Okura Prestige Bangkok marks Thai New Year and “Month of the Elderly” with a visit to a care home in Nakhon Pathom under the royal patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.
A highlight of the “Five Years of Success, Five Months of Sharing” project at The Okura Prestige Bangkok will be a 3-week intensive culinary training programme in the kitchen of the hotel’s award-winning Yamazato restaurant and an educational trip to Hotel Okura Amsterdam. Applicants must be Thai nationals aged 18-25 years old. Only five qualified applicants will be selected for training with Master Chef Shigeru Hagiwara at Yamazato and receive the nine-day trip to Amsterdam.
The Okura Prestige Bangkok is on Wittayu Road, adjacent to Ploenchit BTS. For more information, call (02) 687 9000.
