Commenting on the charity gala event Mr. Niek Hammer, General Manager of The Okura Prestige Bangkok, said “We believe it is a fundamental duty of the hospitality industry to give back to society, especially in support of underprivileged youth. This message is even more important to us as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Okura Prestige Bangkok. We are proud to have achieved a decade of service to patrons and our community and we want to continue to strive for a positive impact. Today’s children will play a vital part in the world’s future, so it is incumbent on us to provide them – whatever their background and circumstances – with the best possible opportunities in life. This is why we have chosen S.O.S Children’s Village in Thailand, a charity under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen, as the official beneficiary of the Stellar Charity Night at Okura.”
Mr. Hammer continued, “We are delighted and very fortunate to be welcoming two magnificent chefs from our sister hotel in Amsterdam to take part in the event. Chefs Arjan Speelman and Masanori Tomikawa both have Michelin credentials of the highest order, as do the culinary team at our own Elements, inspired by Ciel Bleu and at Master Chef Shigeru Hagiwara’s Yamazato.
