Greyhound looks to Provence

Citibank and Greyhound Cafe celebrate 15 years of partnership and thank their customers for constant support through a new campaign that's being joined by Qatar Airways and Club Med.

“From Provence to Provence” invites cardholders to taste a special seafood menu prepared French Mediterranean style and get the chance to win a 6-day, 4-night tour package to the South France with Qatar Airways and a 4 night stay at Club Med Opio near Grasse.

The exclusive launch event was held recently at Greyhound Cafe Siam Center. Suporntip Pongsachamnankit, vice president and co-brand partner of Citi Thailand, explained that Citibank cardholders would be offered two-tier special privileges. The first tier features a 10-per-cent discount when dining at Greyhound Cafe from today until October 31. The second tier offers the chance to win the trip to Provence. For every Bt1,000 spent (after discount) at Greyhound Cafe between now and June 30, Citibank cardholders receive two coupons for the draw. 
“We’ve picked France as our destination because it is a country with a rich history and home to arts and world-class fashion. This campaign also offers many other prizes, and we hope that our customers will be happy to take part,” Suporntip said.
Greyhound has prepared a French Mediterranean menu that includes appetisers, salad, main dishes, desserts and drinks for a complete culinary experience. Dishes include DIY Tartine, La Bouillabaisse de Provence, Beignets de Fruits de Mer, and Clafoutis de Cerises Noires. 
For the campaign launch, the restaurant was transformed into a lavender field, the signature of Provence. Celebrities included Citibank dining guru ML Parson Svasti who shared interesting tips and stories about the menu on offer and chef Torsit Saritwong who portrayed the delectable treats. Chef Harit Vejakul talked about his creations and socialite Jariyadee Spencer shared her experiences of France and her favourite dessert.
