A Surprise Return
By Lifestyle+Travel
A star returns. Don’t miss the special culinary collaboration between Ms.Jigger, the award-winning restaurant at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, and Chef Riley Sanders—running from 1 August to 14 September 2025.
Ms.Jigger proudly welcomes back Chef Riley Sanders, the visionary behind the now-closed Canvas, a former one-MICHELIN-starred restaurant that helped redefine Bangkok’s fine dining landscape. This marks Chef Riley’s first public appearance in the kitchen since Canvas closed its doors. Renowned for his abstract, emotion-driven cuisine, Canvas was celebrated for pushing culinary boundaries—transforming locally sourced Thai ingredients into artful expressions of form, flavor, and feeling through modern techniques, personalized ceramics, and deep storytelling.
Titled “Expressions”, Chef Riley’s collaborative menu at Ms.Jigger explores three emotional themes—Playfulness, Intrigue, and Satisfaction—with each dish designed to evoke a distinct sensory journey. The essence of his cooking remains: a reverence for Thai ingredients, seasonality, and bold creativity.
The special three-course menu is available for lunch and dinner exclusively at Ms.Jigger at THB 1,490++ per person, with an optional wine pairing, curated by Bangkok-based sommelier Alison Christ, at THB1,190++.

A Breath of Fresh Air at Dusit Central Park
A green oasis is rising in the heart of Bangkok. The Dusit Central Park project is redefining urban living with its innovative biophilic design that connects people, nature, and other living creatures. At the core of this transformation is Thailand's largest urban roof park, a lush green space that serves as a living bridge between the project's four main components: a luxury hotel, residential towers, a retail complex, and office buildings. Developed by Vimarn Suriya Company Limited, Dusit Central Park's roof park is a deliberate step toward creating a more sustainable and well-balanced urban environment. By integrating technology and thoughtful design, the developers aim to combat "Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD)," a term for the negative effects of a disconnect from the natural world. This expansive green sanctuary promises to enhance the well-being of residents and visitors alike, transforming Bangkok into a more resilient and livable city for everyone.

Phantom of the Opera Returns to Bangkok
The Phantom of the Opera is set to make a grand return to Bangkok for an exclusive season from 5 to 31 August 2025 at Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre. Tero-Scenario recently hosted a press conference to officially welcome the return of the iconic Broadway musical to Thailand. Held at Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre, the event featured prominent figures including Mr. Takonkiet Viravan from Scenario, Mr. Brian L. Marcar and Mr. Neil Thompson from Tero Entertainment, along with Rainer Fried (Associate Director), Denny Berry (Associate Choreographer), and David Caddick (Musical Director), all sharing their excitement for the production’s highly anticipated return—its first in Thailand since 2013. A major highlight of the event was the appearance of three lead cast members: Samuel Wyn-Morris (The Phantom), Grace Roberts (Christine), and Rory McCollum (Raoul). Adding to the thrill, Grace Roberts captivated the audience with a live rendition of the beloved number “Think of Me”, offering a glimpse of the powerful performances and high production values fans can expect. Adapted from Gaston Leroux’s timeless romantic novel first published in 1910, The Phantom of the Opera was brought to life on stage by Andrew Lloyd Webber in 1986. It has since earned acclaim as one of the greatest and most iconic musicals of all time, praised for its sweeping score, haunting story, and visually breathtaking stage design.
