Thai Luxury Businesses Met at Ambassador’s Residence
Recently, Ambassador Pisan Manawapat had the pleasure of hosting a lunch for Mr. Rolf von Bueren, Chairman of Lotus Arts de Vivre, his wife Helen and son Nicklas von Bueren, VP Sales of LAdV. Joining the von Bueren family were Mr. Jay Jhingran, General Manager of Lebua New Delhi and Ms Birgit Holms, GM of Dusit Devarana New Delhi.
Ambassador Pisan told his guests that the Royal Thai Embassy and Team Thailand, comprising Thai governmental agencies in India plus Thai Airways International, stand ready to cooperate and render support to any of their events/activities which seek to enhance Thainess among the people of India
Lotus Arts de Vivre is Thailand’s premier all-around design company specializing in unique jewelry, objets d’art, home décor and lifestyle accessories. Recently, LAdV held an exclusive exhibition where guests dined and sampled delectable Thai dishes at Delhi’s Aman Hotel.
Lebua is a growing Thai luxury hospitality group owned by the Bualert family. The Delhi property will be Lebua’s second hotel outside of Thailand. Lebua Delhi, located in the suburb of Dwarka, is only 20 minutes from the airport.
The new hotel will house India’s most expensive restaurant, with menus designed by 3-star Michelin chefs. Sirocco II, Lebua Delhi’s version of the world-famous Sirocco sky bar on top of Bangkok’s State Tower, will follow suit. In the not too distant future, Goa residents and tourists will also enjoy Lebua’s Thai-style hospitality.
Thailand’s Dusit Group has entered into a joint venture with Bird Group of India. Their first property, launching in September this year, will be a boutique 50-room, urban resort style hotel on the outskirt of Delhi. An “urban oasis” with over 1,000 mature trees, the Dusit Devarana is designed by Thailand’s Bunnag Architects.
Closer to the city and Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Dusit D2 in Delhi’s Aerocity is slated to open in 2013. The Dusit franchise also has plans to open in Goa, Jaipur, and Rishikesh.
