New restaurant presents world class performers, a fifteen course Thai extravaganza and unique cocktail offerings, all in one beautiful new riverside venue
The Millennium Hilton Bangkok is delighted to announce the opening of a new, unique dining and entertainment concept - Maya.
Commencing with the ‘first night’ red carpet premier in November, Maya is now open to the public and represents a restaurant that redefines the art of dining with a unique combination of dance, music, food and drinks. This magical experience is hosted in a beautiful new setting, replete with Thai inspired décor and an enviable view of the Chao Phraya river.
The multi sensory evening’s experience transforms the entire venue into a theatrical stage enabling fine food and cocktails to meld with Thai dance performances of unrivalled originality. Evoking an aura of the mysterious, Maya provides a continual theatrical evening filled with talented dancers and performers from the Patravadi Theatre, a company headed by Khun Patravadi Mejudon who is a choreographer synonymous in Thailand with artful expression.
All the performer’s costumes are designed by Ruth Pongstaphone, a New York-based designer, as are those worn by the serving staff. And because waiting tables in Maya is no ordinary experience, all servers also perform as they work – with flowing movements and infinite grace, their magical movements choreographed by Khun Witralai Napan Maya’s restaurant manager, and Khun Sean Nilsuwan – consultant mixologist.
Yet, however impressive the show, for many the headline act is the food. A brand new magical set menu has been designed and will be realized by Chef Supoj, a man with 17 years experience and natural flair for innovative and classic Thai cuisine. Chef Supoj and his team will conjure up culinary delights in the theatrical open kitchen, sparks will fly and the air will be spiced with lemongrass and chilies as a fifteen course extravaganza is served, helping
diners really feel the fire of Thai mysticism and passion.
After dinner, guests may wish to raise a glass to friends at Maya. Consultant mixologist Khun Sean Nilsuwan has created a menu of cocktails that bring to life the spice of Thai living, using fresh herbs and local fruits, so that diners may sample glass after glass of exotic elixirs evoking the unknown, the tantalizing and the enthralling aura of Thailand.
Mr Thomas Hoeborn, General Manager of the Millennium Hilton Bangkok explains the concept behind the new restaurant “Altogether Maya is the perfect venue to combine the elements of theatre, art, fine dining and immaculate service to create for an evening of true cultural unrivalled indulgence. We are extremely proud to have such high caliber performers, chefs, mixologist and indeed other restaurant serving staff at the hotel to help us ensure that every meal served at Maya is quite magical.”
