Meliá Pattaya Hotel has opened a new boutique to showcase the wares of talented Thai designers, artists and craftspeople in support of artistic development for children and youth.
Organized as a social enterprise, The GALLERY connects local artisans with a wider audience through a thoughtful collection of Thai-made gifts, handicrafts, home décor, wellness products and souvenirs.
All profits from The GALLERY boutique at the hotel are reinvested to support artistic development for children and youth by helping to create opportunities for a new generation to foster Thai creativity and preserve local craftsmanship.
“We’d like our guests to have an opportunity to discover meaningful products carrying stories that celebrate Thailand’s communities and their fascinating traditions and creativity,” said Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s general manager Alexander Lopez.
Among The GALLERY’s diverse offerings are products by DAWOOD Voyage Travel Souvenirs, whose craftspeople create intricate tuk-tuk souvenirs from sustainable wood that evoke one of Thailand’s most recognizable modes of transport.
The collection also encompasses wellness and aromatic products from Mesook Farm (Agarwood Farmer Group), including jasmine and lemongrass-scented massage body oils and aroma wood, along with ceramics, decorative pieces and other locally crafted gifts.
Also represented is Maison Craft in Thailand, which experiments with weaving materials and techniques as part of efforts to keep distinctive folk crafts and traditional skills relevant for generations to come.
“It is rewarding for our team to provide a platform for Thai artisans and contribute to opportunities for children and young people to develop their artistic potential and continue craftsmanship handed down the generations,” said Lopez.
“Together, the products illustrate The GALLERY’s focus on items with purpose and provenance, giving hotel guests the opportunity to take home a tangible connection to Thailand and support the people and skills behind each piece.”
Based on the mission of “Building a Better Future”, The GALLERY was established by Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), the owner of Meliá Pattaya Hotel, to promote Thai artisans’ work and foster positive social impact.
Based on the concept “Giving Art, Art of Giving”, the initiative stems from AWC’s commitment to creating long-term value for communities through responsible and sustainable development.
The GALLERY forms part of a growing network of social enterprises at AWC hotels across Thailand, including Meliá Chiang Mai and INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit.

Rooftop park to urban cooling, air quality, biodiversity, and community well-being.
Following its first anniversary on Sept 3 2026, Suan Dusit Arun – the 11,200 sq m public rooftop park at Dusit Central Park in the heart of Bangkok – has released its first set of visitor, community, and environmental performance data
It was designed as a practical response to critical urban challenges facing Bangkok, including rising temperatures, limited access to green space, and declining biodiversity.
Open to all, the park offers the luxury of space, nature, and calm in the centre of Bangkok.
The largest public rooftop park in Bangkok’s central business district, Suan Dusit Arun is a defining feature of Dusit Central Park and provides elevated views across Lumpini Park, one of the city’s most important green spaces.
The figures demonstrate strong public demand for accessible green space in the Thai capital, with an average of 2,621 unique daily visitors during the 12-month reporting period.
Its public use and programing are thoughtfully managed to protect the landscape, preserve a comfortable atmosphere
It also ensure thats visitors can continue to enjoy the park without compromising the qualities it was designed to provide.
Combining beautiful views with a strong social and environmental purpose, the park serves as the unifying landscape connecting the principal elements of Dusit Central Park: the flagship Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel, Central Park Offices, the Central Park shopping centre, and a 69-storey residential tower comprising the ultra-luxury Dusit Residences and contemporary Dusit Parkside.
The design of Suan Dusit Arun reflects the wider architectural philosophy of Dusit Central Park. It responds to wind flow and solar orientation while drawing on Feng Shui principles to foster harmony, balance, and a positive flow of energy between people and their surroundings.
default
With approximately 98% of its layered landscape dedicated to green space, the park combines 184 plant varieties, including 48 Thai species, with accessible areas for recreation, learning, community gatherings, and quiet reflection.
Its planting includes native shade trees, flowering varieties, and climate-adapted plants.
The planting includes nine tree species in the three threatened categories of the IUCN Red List – two Critically Endangered, two Endangered, and five Vulnerable.
It also reflects Thailand’s cultural heritage through sacred spirit trees, species referenced in classical Thai literature, and jasmine, a symbol of Mother’s Day in Thailand. Pollinator-friendly species include mangrove apple and queen’s crape myrtle.
Water management is another important part of the park’s operation. Harvested or recycled water supplies approximately 25% of irrigation demand, supported by an automated, timer-controlled irrigation system.
The planted landscape is estimated to reduce stormwater runoff entering the city’s drainage system by 30–50% compared with a conventional hard-surfaced roof.
While assessment of the park’s environmental performance is ongoing, monitoring conducted within and outside the project area on 13 and 14 March 2026 provided an initial snapshot of conditions.
Air temperature within Suan Dusit Arun was recorded at 31°C, compared with 33°C outside the project area. Suspended particulate matter concentrations were also approximately 35% lower within the park during the monitoring period.
“When we conceived Suan Dusit Arun, we wanted it to become an active part of Bangkok’s daily life – a public landscape with a clear social and environmental purpose,” said Chanin Donavanik, Group CEO, Dusit International.
“Welcoming more than 951,000 visitors in its first year shows how strongly people value accessible green spaces where they can exercise, learn, connect, and spend time in nature.
“For Dusit, this is how responsible hospitality reaches beyond hotel operations: by creating places that deliver meaningful value for the communities and environments around them.
Initial data from Suan Dusit Arun indicates the potential of thoughtful design and responsible operation to improve everyday urban life. We will continue to monitor the park’s performance and report its contribution with care and transparency.”
Beyond its daily public use, Suan Dusit Arun was host to a thoughtfully curated program of 43 recreational, wellness, and educational events and visits during its first year.
Together, these activities engaged more than 9,500 people. They ranged from aerobics, Pilates, and city runs to Children’s Day celebrations, live music, design talks, and study visits by schools and universities.
Partners included Silpakorn University, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP), and the Thai Red Cross, alongside schools, community groups, and commercial organizations.
Collaboration with SCGP also extends to waste reduction. Suan Dusit Arun participates in the company’s “Old for New” recycling initiative and separates around 100 kg of cardboard from its operational waste each month for recycling.
Event organizers are also encouraged to reduce disposable plastics and choose reusable or recyclable materials wherever practical.
Tree Walk for Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026
To mark Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026, Suan Dusit A
run and Dusit International will collaborate with Big Trees Foundation to be host to Tree Walk: Discovering the Value of Urban Trees at Suan Dusit Arun on 9 October 2026.
Led by landscape architect Touchapon Soontrajarn and professional arborists, the half-day program will explore how thoughtful landscape design and tree care can support urban cooling, cleaner air, biodiversity, and public well-being.
Running from 9:00–11:30 hrs, the event is limited to 30 participants and costs THB 250 per person, with all proceeds to be donated to Big Trees Foundation to support urban tree conservation.
Registration will be available through the Bangkok Climate Action Week platform.
Kidney specialist Dr. San Pndeya has changed the way we inject ourselves. He’s created a serum that that we need only to inject ourselves every two weeks instead once a week.
For injectors like myself, Dr. Pandeya’s new serum is an incredible gift. Before, I had to inject myself every week. Sounds simple enough but it was always in the back of my head, dreading the day when I had to inject.
It was especially difficult during major holidays like Christmas.
That’s gone now, thanks to Dr. Pandeya. His new serum is a wonderful gift and a major step in medicine.
Banyan Tree Gallery Samui begins retail of high-quality beach bags, handwoven and crafted by farmers in southern Thailand.
Banyan Tree Samui, one of Thailand’s leading beachfront resorts, has joined T.A.I Studio, bringing a collection of handwoven bags and baskets from Phatthalung in southern Thailand to the resort’s onsite boutique, Banyan Tree Gallery Samui.
The collection is made from krajood sedge and banana tree fibre — materials grown and gathered in Phatthalung — transformed by combining traditional weaving and production methods with contemporary design.
T.A.I Studio was founded by husband-and-wife Nick and Sai Rawling as a way of connecting these existing materials, skills and making traditions with luxury hospitality.
Today the studio works alongside a network of growers, weavers and specialist makers around Phatthalung, with different hands contributing weaving, hand-loomed cotton, embroidery, leatherwork and finishing.
“When these traditions are thoughtfully integrated into contemporary hospitality, something else becomes possible,” said Rawling.
“Visitors encounter a culture that is living rather than displayed.”
“The product isn’t the whole experience,” Rawling added.
“It’s a way into a much bigger story about people and place. That’s why working with Banyan Tree feels particularly relevant — there is a shared interest in connecting hospitality to its surroundings rather than importing a sense of place.”
Banyan Tree has a longstanding commitment to both sustainability and working with local communities.
“We chose T.A.I Studio bags because they closely align with ‘Banyan Tree’s founding ethos of ‘Embracing the Environment, Empowering Communities’,” said Spa & Gallery Manager Naphasawan Badklang.
“These products celebrate local craftsmanship and heritage.”
“By showcasing these bags at Banyan Tree Gallery Samui, we help promote the artisans’ stories and craftsmanship to a wider audience,” she added.
Banyan Tree Samui’s onsite boutique showcases a number of locally infused handicrafts and signature amenities, including Banyan Tree bath & body treatments and aromatherapy collections, which combine Asian-inspired ingredients with natural botanical blends.
All retailed products meet Banyan Tree’s criteria of supporting personal wellbeing while being mindful of the environment.
Banyan Tree Gallery was founded on a simple belief – that commerce can be an engine for good.
For more than three decades, the brand has supported artisan livelihoods worldwide, preserving the cultural heritage of craft, and advancing a more sustainable future.
What began as a small initiative has grown into a global ecosystem of purposeful commerce. To date, Banyan Tree Gallery has commissioned more than 1.2 million products, supported 339 communities, and collaborated with 240 non-profit organisations.
A Sanctuary for the Senses
Banyan Tree Samui’s 88 spacious pool villas, each with its own private infinity pool, provide a serene and secluded oasis where guests can unwind and reconnect with nature.
Designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, the villas feature contemporary Thai architecture and are adorned with locally sourced materials and artwork, creating a truly authentic and immersive experience.
The resort hosts three restaurants, including Saffron which was recently listed in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide.
Other onsite facilities include a fitness centre, a kids’ club, a meetings and events centre, a spa with unique Rainforest hydrotherapy facility, and a library.
Meliá Chiang Mai’s staff have helped regenerate more than seven acres of seasonally dry tropical forest in northern Thailand by planting 6,650 native trees through the hotel’s ongoing Meliá Go Green initiative, supporting biodiversity and forest restoration in one of the country’s most ecologically significant regions
Almost 180 hotel team members joined the Doi Suthep Nature Center on June 26, 2026, to plant the latest 800 native trees across two rai in Mae Taeng and Mae Rim in Chiang Mai’s Doi Suthep-Pui National Park.
The 13th Meliá Go Green activity brought together volunteers to plant carefully selected native species that will help restore the area’s natural forest ecosystem, including Quercus semiserrata, Castanopsis diversifolia, Ficus capillipes and Antidesma bunius, among others.
Working in partnership with the Doi Suthep Nature Center, Meliá Chiang Mai has supported forest restoration efforts since 2022, helping regenerate degraded areas with native tree species that strengthen biodiversity, improve watershed health and create habitat for wildlife. The forests associated with Doi Suthep-Pui National Park are among northern Thailand’s richest natural ecosystems, home to more than 300 bird species and nearly 2,000 species of ferns and flowering plants.
“Meliá Go Green has become so much more than a regular volunteer activity,” said Meliá Chiang Mai General Manager Marc Selinger.
“Our team is making a tangible contribution to restoring northern Thailand’s forests with the Doi Suthep Nature Center to help protect biodiversity and leave a positive environmental legacy for future generations.”
The tree-planting initiative forms part of Meliá Chiang Mai’s wider commitment to responsible tourism and community engagement. Throughout the hotel, sustainability initiatives are designed to reduce environmental impact and support local people and culture.
The hotel’s 360-degree cuisine programme champions locally-sourced chemical-free, seasonal ingredients, and minimising food waste. The hotel works closely with farmers, universities and their students, and communities to encourage sustainability measures that make the food system more resilient.
The GALLERY social enterprise in the hotel lobby showcases handcrafted products created by local artisans and community enterprises. The enterprise helps preserve traditional skills and generate sustainable incomes in communities in need.
Together with Meliá Go Green, these initiatives encapsulate the sustainability vision of the hotel’s owner, Asset World Corporation (AWC), to create lasting environmental and social value.

IT’S a new immersive program inspired by ancient wisdom and the rhythms of the lunar cycle.
The program draws on the full lunar cycle, encompassing Śukla Pakṣa, the waxing moon associated with clarity and expansion, and Kṛṣṇa Pakṣa, the waning moon associated with release, purification and inward reflection.
In classical yogic and Vedic philosophy, these phases form a complete sacred rhythm, balancing activation with integration and emergence with surrender.
Sacred Renewal brings together spiritual practices, therapies and contemplative experiences aligned with the moon’s shifting qualities, with the aim of supporting greater inner balance and connection with the natural world.
At the heart of the program is a return to spiritual foundations. Cleansing rituals, ancient healing practices, intuitive guidance and elemental work are designed to help restore harmony across body, mind and subtle energy.
One-on-one sessions include mindful movement, breath awareness, mantra, reflection and meditation, complemented by therapeutic modalities intended to clear stagnation, nourish vitality and cultivate inner balance.
“At Kamalaya, our journey has never been shaped by passing influences, but by a deep reverence for ancient wisdom and the natural intelligence within each individual,” says Gopal Kumar, General Manager and Group Director of Wellness.
“Sacred Renewal reflects this philosophy. It is not about striving for change, but about returning to fundamental rhythms of life, simple, sacred practices lived with awareness.
“Through alignment with the lunar cycle, guests are invited to rediscover a way of being that is grounded, conscious, and spiritually attuned, where wellbeing arises naturally from inner coherence.”
Sacred Renewal also draws on the philosophy of the Pancha Mahābhūtas, the five elemental forces believed to govern the natural world and human experience. Guests are guided through:
● Earth – grounding, structure and stability
● Water – emotional flow, receptivity and softness
● Fire – purification, discipline and inner strength
● Air – inspiration, movement and lightness
● Ether – space, stillness and expanded awareness
The methodology behind Sacred Renewal is inspired by the Gurukula tradition, an ancient residential approach to spiritual learning in which seekers were prepared through purification, disciplined practice and energetic alignment for deeper states of awareness.
Kamalaya combines this tradition with contemporary insights from psychology and neuroscience, exploring how elemental harmony can support emotional balance, mental clarity and overall wellbeing.
Through these integrated practices, the program is designed to encourage greater emotional coherence, clarity and presence, while reconnecting guests with the ancient wisdom that has informed Kamalaya’s approach to wellness for more than two decades.
The Sacred Renewal program will be available from October One and can be booked and experienced during any phase of the lunar cycle. It is offered as an 8, 11 or 15-night program, with the 8-night program starting from THB120,633, excluding accommodation.

Beyond Ladies’ Night, LUZ also welcomes guests for ‘Social Hours’, offering ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Free’ on selected drinks daily from 5-7pm, followed by ‘Late-Night Social’ from 9-10pm every Friday to Sunday.
The promotion features selected wines, Chang draught beer and signature cocktails.
LUZ has earned a reputation as one of Bangkok’s most awe-inspiring rooftop dining destinations since its September 2023 debut.
The venue delivers a spectacle unlike any other in the city, with diners on the 33rd floor able to peer into the transparent bottom of the hotel’s 34th-floor infinity pool.

The venue’s striking design is also inspired by Bangkok’s Rama VIII Bridge.

A new sound healing experience suspended high above Pattaya’s shoreline is beckoning guests to calm the nervous system and encourage mindfulness.
Conducted at the Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s rooftop bar, the new Sound Healing Retreat combines therapeutic sound frequencies with guided relaxation techniques.
The sessions harness singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs and other instruments to shift the mind from a heightened alert state, spurred by the busyness of everyday life, into slower, more meditative brainwave patterns.
The experience supports physical and mental wellbeing by activating the body’s parasympathetic nervous system.
Private sessions are available at the hotel’s YHI Spa for individuals and couples, while larger group classes and corporate wellness experiences are also on offer for meetings, incentives and retreats.
Among the most atmospheric offerings is the hotel’s “Yoga with Sound Bath” experience held at the rooftop bar at sunrise. Combining a 45-minute yoga class with a 20-minute sound healing journey, the session unfolds as the city gradually wakes beneath the rooftop venue.
“There’s something especially powerful about experiencing sound healing above the city as the sea stretches out in front of you,” said Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s general manager Alexander Lopez.
“These experiences encourage guests to come up for air and reconnect with themselves in an extraordinary setting that simultaneously feels calming and reinvigorating.”
Sound healing builds on Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s wider wellness offering at YHI Spa, which blends Asian healing traditions with contemporary wellbeing therapies.
The spa menu offers an array of massages, body rituals, facials and hydrotherapy treatments using natural products and techniques designed to restore balance and relaxation.
The hotel’s regular morning yoga and Pilates classes held throughout the week offer guests gentler movement-based wellness experiences.
Conducted at Yitong Sky Bar, the beginner-friendly sessions focus on flexibility, posture, core strength and mindful movement while taking in Pattaya’s morning skyline.
Sound healing sessions, yoga and Pilates classes are available by advance booking through the hotel’s spa.
