Thailand buffet in Macau

Studio City Macau has launched a Thailand-themed buffet at Spotlight, with the limited run scheduled to end on May 8. (macaudailytimes.com.mo) The promotion is tied to Songkran, Thailand’s New Year festival, which is celebrated from April 13 to April 15, and Studio City says the buffet is the first stop in its “World on a Plate” series. (thailand.prd.go.th) (studiocity-macau.com) Studio City’s official site says guest chef Bansani Nawisamphan is leading the menu, built around Thai regional dishes and what the resort calls a “rainbow cuisine” concept. Booking pages list the themed run from April 10 through May 8. (studiocity-macau.com) (trip.com) The restaurant itself is one of Studio City’s all-day buffet venues in Cotai, on Level 2 of the East Wing, where the resort normally serves international buffet meals. Third-party ticketing pages list recent standard prices at 358 patacas for lunch and 628 patacas for dinner, though promotions can vary by seller and date. (studiocity-macau.com) (macauticket.com) The timing fits Macau’s larger push to keep visitors spending beyond the casino floor, with resorts using seasonal food events, concerts and themed attractions to fill hotels and restaurants. Macau recorded 40,069,360 visitor arrivals in 2025, according to official tourism data. (melco-resorts.com) (macaotourism.gov.mo) That traffic has carried into 2026. Macau’s Secretary for Economy and Finance said the city logged more than 10 million visitor arrivals in the first quarter of 2026, describing tourism momentum as steady. (ggrasia.com) Studio City is one of the Cotai resorts operated under Melco Resorts & Entertainment, which markets the property as a cinema-themed leisure destination with hotels, gaming, retail and dining. Spotlight is part of that package, positioned as an international buffet restaurant rather than a single-cuisine outlet. (melco-resorts.com) (studiocity-macau.com) For diners, the practical window is short: the Thailand menu is on now, Songkran runs this week, and Studio City says the buffet closes on May 8.
