Sukhumvit 49 has been ซ่อนตัว (sâawn-dtuua, hidden) away a secret. At Kizuki Tea Room, time will เดินช้าลง (deern-cháa-long, slow down) the moment you step into this lush garden sanctuary.
3 Must-Try Highlights:
The Tea Traveler: Meet Khun Key, a นักเดินทาง (nák-deern-thaang, traveler) who doesn’t just brew tea but tells the story of every leaf he hand-picked from farmers across the land.

No Boundary Concept: Forget countries; tea here is divided by ธรรมชาติ (tham-má-châat, nature). Taste the essence of Mountains, Rivers, Oceans, and Sunlight.

The Kinmoku: A แปลกใหม่ (bplàek-mài, unique) non-alcoholic cocktail blending Uji Matcha, Osmanthus, and a touch of Miso for a deep, complex flavor.

Come สัมผัส (sǎm-phàt, experience) the true จิตวิญญาณ (jìt-win-yaan, spirit) of tea in every dimension—from the drinks to the Matcha Shio Pan.

Phuket has been เนรมิต (nee-rá-mít, transformed) into a living museum. Under the concept นิรันดร์ [กัลป์] (ní-ran-gan, Eternal Entropy), art is now กระจายตัว (grà-jaay-dtuua, scattered) across the island to tell its hidden stories.
3 Must-See Highlights:
The Tsunami Piano: A haunting ซาก (sâak, wreckage) from Japan 2011, revived by Ryuichi Sakamoto to play the rhythm of the waves. It is a true ความเศร้าที่งดงาม (khwaam-sâo thêe ngôot-ngaam, beautiful sadness).

The City's Soul: Clay tiles at Pearl Cinema made from เศษซาก (sèet-sâak, debris) like shells and incense ash. Each tile records a บทสนทนา (bòt-sǒn-thá-naa, conversation) with local villagers.

The Land-Fill: A ทรงพลัง (song-phá-lang, powerful) sculpture at Chaofa Mine that acts as หลักฐาน (làk-thǎan, evidence) of the island's history and asks us to ทบทวน (thóp-thuaan, reflect) on our environment.

Come เข้าใจ (khâo-jai, understand) the true จิตวิญญาณ (jìt-win-yaan, spirit) of Phuket. On display until April 2026!

In the heart of the Si Phraya area, Hanaya is where รสชาติ (rót-châat, taste) meets history—through a journey that spans over 80 years and the quiet resilience of a true ร้านอาหารญี่ปุ่นบุกเบิก (ráan aa-hǎan yîi-bùn bùk-bə̀ək, pioneering Japanese restaurant).
From the unique ข้าวหน้าปลาดิบรวมไทย (Thai fish Chirashi) to the classic, oversized ไข่หวาน (khài-wǎan, sweet egg) in the Kagoshima style, every dish showcases a ความผูกพัน (khwaam-phùuk-phan, connection) passed down through three generations.
Savor the melt-in-your-mouth green tea pudding and experience a รสชาติระดับตำนาน (rót-châat rá-dàp dtam-naan, legendary flavor) that has grown alongside families for decades. Hanaya is a reminder that sincerity and ความจริงใจ (khwaam jing-jai, sincerity) aren't just ingredients—they are the secret to staying invincible for nearly a century.

In the heart of the city, One Bangkok is where อนาคต (à-naa-khót, the future) meets the sky—through soaring towers, world-class art, and the vibrant pulse of วิถีเมืองสมัยใหม่ (wi-thí muueang sà-mǎi-mài, modern urban life).
From the creative energy of The Storeys to the massive sculptures of the Art Loop, this landmark showcases ความเจริญ (khwaam-jà-roen, progress) at every turn. Wander through the Food Loop and watch the sunset over สวนลุมพินี (Lumphini Park) from the terrace—a view that captures a city constantly evolving.
One Bangkok is a reminder that นวัตกรรม (ná-wát-dtà-gam, innovation) and ความยั่งยืน (khwaam-yàng-yuuen, sustainability) are more than just concepts; they are the new heartbeat of the capital.
