Banyan Tree Krabi dinner

Banyan Tree Krabi said it will stage a two-night “Four-Hands Masterpiece” dinner at Saffron on April 23 and 24, pairing resident Thai Sous Chef Koranat Wiwatthanachot with guest chef Renu Homsombat. (indothainews.com) The dinner is built as a five-course menu rooted in Thai ingredients from land and sea, with dishes including Phuket lobster with red curry sauce, Andaman grouper in tom yum broth, and Wagyu beef cheek in massaman curry. The resort said seats are limited and priced at 4,500 Thai baht per person, with an optional wine pairing for 1,900 Thai baht. (indothainews.com) Koranat, known as “Day,” leads Thai cooking at Saffron in Krabi, while Renu is the executive chef at Velaa Sindhorn Village Langsuan in Bangkok, according to the event announcement. Banyan Tree Krabi ran a similar two-night “Four-Hands Dinner” on March 4 and 5, 2025, with Koranat and Banyan Tree Phuket chef Tipaporn Phianthong. (indothainews.com) (balconymediagroup.com) The push comes as Banyan Tree Krabi keeps marketing food as part of the resort stay, not just an add-on. The Michelin Guide’s hotel listing for the property highlights Saffron and Bird’s Nest among the resort’s standout features, alongside its spa and private-pool accommodations. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s hotel inspectors list Banyan Tree Krabi as a Two Key property, a hotel award that is separate from Michelin stars for restaurants. The guide’s 2025 Thailand hotel selection included 21 Two Key hotels, placing Banyan Tree Krabi in that group. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) That distinction matters because the event announcement and follow-on coverage describe the resort as having earned “Two Michelin stars” in 2024 and 2025, while Michelin’s own listings identify Banyan Tree Krabi as a Two Key hotel. Michelin uses stars for restaurants and keys for hotels. (greattravelmagazine.com) (guide.michelin.com) The property sits on Tab Kaek Beach in Krabi and has 72 rooms, all with private pools, according to Michelin’s hotel page. Michelin’s description also points to Saffron’s hilltop setting and Bird’s Nest’s treetop dining as part of the resort’s appeal. (guide.michelin.com) For Banyan Tree Krabi, the April dinner is a short-run event with a familiar formula: bring in a second chef, build a limited menu, and use the restaurant as a reason to book the resort. The next test is simple availability on April 23 and 24. (indothainews.com)
