Four Points by Sheraton Navi Mumbai is set to bring Thailand’s vibrant and enchanting celebration of Loy Krathong, at its renowned Asian Kitchen restaurant, featuring the culinary expertise of esteemed Thai Chef Vina. Scheduled over two weekends, from November 15th to 17th and November 22nd to 24th, 2024, guests are invited to immerse themselves in this traditional Thai festival through an exquisite dinner buffet from 6:30 pm to 11:30 pm.
Loy Krathong, celebrated annually on the full moon night of the 12th month in the Thai lunar calendar, is a festival that symbolizes the act of releasing lanterns or decorated floating baskets (krathongs) onto water as a gesture of gratitude and the release of past misfortunes. The festival’s spirit will be brought to life at Four Points by Sheraton with an exclusive Thai food festival, curated in collaboration with the Thai Consulate and Thai Tourism. Chef Vina, known for her mastery of traditional Thai cuisine, will present a specially curated menu that captures the essence of the festival.
Guests can look forward to a delightful menu featuring traditional Thai dishes such as Tom Kah (Coconut Soup Veg), Tom Yum Kai (Hot & Sour Chicken Soup), and appetizers like Sriracha Shrimps, Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, and the signature KraThong Tong (Golden Cups)—a nod to the festival’s namesake. The main course offerings include classics like Thai Green Curry (Kang Keaw Waan), Panang Prawn Curry, and a live noodle counter featuring Ramen Noodles and a Barbecue Station. To round off the experience, guests can indulge in traditional Thai desserts, including the popular Thapthim Krop (Thai Red Rubies in Coconut Milk).
The celebration at Asian Kitchen goes beyond just the culinary experience. Guests will have the unique opportunity to participate in traditional krathong-making sessions, where they can create their own floating baskets and release them into the pool, embodying the festival’s spirit. The evening ambiance will be enhanced by a mix of traditional Thai music adding a lively touch as guests enjoy freshly prepared Thai delicacies. Additionally, there will be a lucky draw with exciting giveaways from Thailand Tourism, making the experience even more memorable.
In keeping with the festival’s spirit of gratitude and joy, the Loy Krathong celebration at Four Points by Sheraton Navi Mumbai promises an immersive cultural experience, combining traditional Thai Flavors, music, and activities for a truly memorable evening. Guests are encouraged to join the festivities and savour the authentic taste of Thailand in Navi Mumbai.
