Taking the holiday season in style, RAVA Beach Club by Banyan Tree Phuket makes waves as the island’s newest beachfront sensation — a lifestyle destination where design, energy, and oceanfront living come together in perfect harmony. Stretching 180 metres along Bang Tao Beach, RAVA redefines the beach club experience. It’s not just a place to sip cocktails by the sea — it’s a destination for every mood and lifestyle. From sunrise yoga and water sports to family dining, kids’ activities, and tranquil escapes, RAVA fosters connection: with nature, with loved ones, and with the art of slowing down. Three stunning infinity pools anchor the experience, each transforming with the rhythm of the day. Mornings begin with serenity and sparkling sea views. Afternoons invite sun-soaked lounging and conversation over signature cocktails. Evenings ignite with golden-hour hues reflected on the water — and as night falls, energy rises to the beat of the waves. Three Zones, Three Experiences RAVA is designed around three distinctive zones, each offering a unique way to enjoy the beach club lifestyle. Young & Fun The vibrant heart of RAVA, this social hub offers 180 outdoor seats, three infinity pools, and luxurious cabanas for all-day lounging. From laid-back afternoons to high-energy evenings, guests enjoy live DJ performances, immersive entertainment, and dazzling fire shows that illuminate the night sky. Master Grill Dining becomes an art form at Master Grill, where chefs command live-fire grills for a multisensory culinary performance. Guests savour dry-aged meats and seasonal seafood — tiger prawns in the rainy season, sea crab in summer, and fresh grouper by year-end. The monthly Pura Vida Sunday Brunch with Free-Flow Veuve Clicquot Champagne (THB 6,900 per person) delivers a taste of indulgence, complemented by an innovative wine dispenser that lets guests explore premium global wines by the glass. Prestige Reserved exclusively for Banyan Group Residence owners, Prestige offers refined tranquility. Private infinity pools, air-conditioned dining rooms, and curated soundscapes create an atmosphere of pure relaxation — ideal for intimate gatherings or quiet ocean-view escapes. Private Gatherings Made Perfect Beyond its daily allure, RAVA shines as a destination for private celebrations. The club features five VIP rooms, each with space for 10 guests and unobstructed sea views. These can be combined for larger events — from birthdays and anniversaries to corporate gatherings. With expert event planning and bespoke menus, every celebration becomes a signature RAVA moment — unforgettable, elegant, and framed by the sea.

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.

Here are some key dates for the rest of July. Glass Plate Negatives: Circles of Centres Date: Now - 27 July 2025 Where: Main Exhibition Gallery, 9th Floor Bangkok Art and Culture Centre This exhibition is a curation of glass plate photographs by the National Archives of Thailand for this year. This is a collaboration between the Fine Arts Department, Sirivadhanabhakdi Foundation, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, The Royal Photographic Society of Thailand and The Photographic Arts Foundation. In Glass Plate Negatives: Circles of Centres, Southeast Asia is a divinely-imbued world. As one walks out of the centre of the mandala towards the periphery, there is no sense of place, boundaries, latitude or longitude. Yet, no matter where one goes, everything feels familiar. An essential element permeates every facet of this story, binding layers of ancient philosophy and political discourse. This was the period in which King Chulalongkorn of Siam reigned. It was the height of colonial expansion in Southeast Asia. Siam began to evolve from a mandala to a modern Nation-State, with defined borders and a bureaucratic apparatus.

The film follows Supinya "Jay Fai" Junsuta, the 81-year-old self-taught street food legend who rose from modest beginnings to earn Bangkok’s first Michelin star for a street vendor. Her crab omelette has become world-famous, but this story goes far deeper—revealed through interviews, rare behind-the-scenes footage, and her unforgettable appearance at Copenhagen’s MAD Symposium. Directed by acclaimed food documentarian Arlei Lima and produced by Utopic Films, Jay Fai: Fire & Soul traces Supinya’s inspiring rise from poverty, including a devastating house fire that wiped out her family’s savings. Self-taught and fiercely perfectionist, Jay Fai transitioned from tailoring to cooking, creating signature dishes like her world-famous crab omelette. Years of tireless work behind her charcoal-fired woks ultimately brought her international acclaim and Michelin recognition. WATCH NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8LMQ1SJY0Y
