CHIVA-SOM PROMOTES SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL WITH MANGROVE PLANTING AND EXCLUSIVE CULINARY COLLABORATION
Joining Forces for Mangrove Planting and Gastronomic Excellence at Chiva-Som.
In a bid to promote sustainable travel and support environmental conservation, Chiva-Som, a renowned wellness resort, will host a mangrove planting event on July 26th as part of its year-long Friends of Chiva-Som campaign.
The initiative will be led by Suquan Bulakul, a renowned Thai actress and Friends of Chiva-Som ambassador, along with Chef Dan Bark, another ambassador and esteemed chef. Team members and guests will join forces to contribute to the mangrove planting efforts.
Later that evening, Chef Dan Bark will team up with Chiva-Som's Executive Chef Sinchai Srivipa to present an exquisite eight-course tasting menu at the resort's Taste of Siam restaurant, which offers breathtaking ocean views.
The menu will feature wellness cuisine, with highlights including a delectable kingfish and caviar amuse-bouche, a tantalizing combination of root vegetables and truffle, succulent Australian beef with kimchi and miso, fresh grouper, and a unique savory-sweet dessert inspired by the Thai dish miang kham. Many of the dishes will showcase fresh, organic produce sourced directly from Chiva-Som's own gardens.
Chef Dan Bark brings a wealth of experience to the table, having worked in renowned 2- and 3-Michelin Starred restaurants in Chicago for over 15 years. He later returned to Bangkok to establish his own Michelin-star restaurant, Cadence by Dan Bark.
Known for his Progressive American cuisine, Chef Dan's dishes showcase a mix-and-match approach to techniques and ingredients, transcending geographical boundaries and exploring limitless flavor combinations.
Meanwhile, Chef Sinchai Srivipa's culinary journey spans over three decades, starting with a scholarship from the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel in Bangkok. He honed his skills working in various countries, including Australia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, mastering diverse cuisines along the way.
Chef Sinchai joined the Chiva-Som team in 2009 and even had the opportunity to serve as the personal chef for the royal Hashemite family in Jordan for two years. Today, he leads one of the world's most renowned wellness cuisine teams.
Tickets for the exclusive culinary collaboration are priced at THB 9,000 net per person, with an option for wine pairing at THB 10,000.
All proceeds from the event, after deducting expenses, will be donated to the Krailart Niwate mangrove preservation project, underscoring Chiva-Som's commitment to environmental conservation.
