Hyatt Regency Koh Samui collaborated with 333Gallery to host the Sensory Pathways Prelude event at Warehouse 30 on Chroenkrung 30 Alley on 30th August 2023. This event was an introduction to the art and lifestyle project that the two companies will be unveiling. The event featured sensors stimulating activities. For example, for the sight, an art exhibition featuring stunning works by eight talented artists, including Ravit Teutvongse, Kaewtrakarn Junlabon, Wishulada Panthanuvong, Akras Pornkajornkijkul, Wuthigrai Siriphon, Rungruang Sittirerk, Takorn Tavornchotivong, and Maneerat Thamnarak.
During the event, Ravit Teutvongse painted an abstract artwork live for a charity auction dedicated to raising funds for the Autistic Thai Foundation and Little Big Green and performed an art clashing performance with a dance performer.
For the taste, the event has a special cooking demonstration by Chef Kaew Paweenuch Yodpreechawijit from MasterChef Thailand, who showcased a specially curated dessert dish called "Guiding Key". The dessert perfectly matched the drinks by Sillapa: Crafting the Art of Drink, exclusively partnered up with Kosapan Distillery.
For the smell, attendees could also check out the craft perfume brand Tada Parfumeur by Tada Archawong and the Dry Brush spa available at Verio Spa, Hyatt Regency Koh Samui.
Following the triumphant press event hosted last August for the launch of SENSORY PATHWAYS in Bangkok, 333Gallery, Thailand's leading gallery, collaborated with Hyatt Regency Koh Samui in hosting an official opening celebration at Hyatt Regency Koh Samui on 24th September 2023. This event marked the commencement of the project among distinguished individuals of Koh Samui and art enthusiasts who gathered to enjoy remarkable lifestyles curated at the hotel.
More works inspired by Hyatt Regency Koh Smui's Gallery of Eight from eight artists were displayed at Hyatt Regency Koh Samui. Sensory Pathways' opening ceremony not only showcased the exceptional works of these artists but also included terrific activities and a unique dining experience with specially prepared food and drinks.
After exploring artworks by the eight artists on the Art Route Tour, guests attending the event had the opportunity to unwind on the beach while painting or weaving. These activities helped the guests feel more connected to the art. During the event, the artists were given special responsibilities to offer friendly drawing guidance to guests in a relaxed setting. They also participated in a textile weaving session led by highly qualified textile artists from Thammasat University and Silpakorn University. Wuthigrai Siriphon, Takorn Tavornchotivong, and Wishulada Panthanuvong enthusiastically transformed the beach area into an open-air studio, making the activity accessible to everyone.
As for the beverages, we introduced a new brand, Sillapa: Crafting the Art of Drink, in collaboration with Kosapan Distillery to unveil a limited edition flavour, Chiffon. The event featured food made by Chef William Talbot and Chef Nattapark Charoenpanich, which was one of the highlights. The food was inspired by the design of the hotel's KUBE restaurant and the scent of rubber trees. These inspirations are carried over to the Afternoon tea, A la carte lunch menu, and fine dining presented in Chef's Table format by Chef Kaew Paweenuch Yodpreechawijit, the first MasterChef Thailand champion. This exceptional dining experience will be available starting in December for eight months.
For the closure of the launch of Sensory Pathways, a performance of mesmerizing Rong-Ngaeng Dance. This unique dance, originating from southern Thailand, showcased the talent of the Rong-Ngaeng Suan Kawi Puen Ban Band led by Master Somporn KongKheum.
Hyatt Regency Koh Samui is one of the hotels that strongly supports the arts and provides a sensory-stimulating experience for guests.
