Let’s be honest; we always do things with a sprinkle of ‘Kimpton’ twist. And this Christmas, we are proud to introduce an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind art Christmas tree, created by the famed Thai artist Pin - Saruta Kiatparkpoom (PiN Metal Art), unveiled at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok this December. Pin’s unique art style reincarnates metal and repurposes what people consider to be waste to give rebirth and second life. With sustainability and the season’s spirit in mind, this custom-made Christmas tree draws inspiration from the Thai Bai Sri, a sacred element in Thai culture that is part of a blessing ceremony performed to bestow happiness and prosperity to a person or a place. The Thai Bai Sri is traditionally made from banana leaves woven into three levels representing the three steadfast moral principles that society must embrace -- the right physical, verbal and mental behavior. The tiered structure, similar to that of a traditional Christmas tree, is created with variations of lamps to illuminate its surrounds with joyous holiday sparkles. After bestowing its brilliant glow and spirit at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, this glistening tree will be dismantled and its elements redistributed, keeping the spirit of sustainability and goodwill. Visit Christmas Re-Imagined at the lobby of Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok from today until 3rd January 2023. For more information of festive programming, please visit https://bit.ly/PRFestiveEN. |
