4-5 DEC KIMPTON MAA-LAI BANGKOK FIRES UP THAI FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND WITH AUSSIE BEEF ON FIRE

An unlimited outdoor Australian beef BBQ with ice-cold beer, Australian wine, live rock and exclusive dishes from guest chef and Aussie Beef Mate Chef It on 4 and 5 December 2026

Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is lighting the charcoal for Thai Father's Day weekend. On Friday, 4 December and Saturday, 5 December 2026, Urban Oasis hosts Aussie Beef on Fire from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., an outdoor BBQ presented in partnership with Birra Moretti and powered by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and Global Victoria, with guest chef Chef It, an Aussie Beef Mate and chef owner of Neua.Neur.Bkk bringing a set of exclusive dishes to the grill. At the heart of it all is an unlimited beef buffet of Australian Wagyu, 12-hour smoked brisket and premium cuts cooked over charcoal, served with live rock music, ice-cold beer, Australian wine and a kids' menu. Tickets are THB 1,500++ per adult and THB 750++ per child aged 6 to 12, each with one welcome drink included, and special beverage offers will be available for those settling in for the night.

This year, Dad gets what he actually wants: a plate stacked with smoky Australian beef, a cold beer in hand and a live band playing the songs he still knows every word to. Thai Father's Day falls on 5 December, and Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is turning the whole pre-weekend into one big, loud, delicious celebration. Aussie Beef on Fire is relaxed by design, an open-air gathering where families, friends and the whole crew can pull up a seat, go back for seconds (and thirds), and let Dad enjoy a properly fiery Father's Day.

BEEF. BEER. DAD ROCK. 

Three things that translate into one very good weekend. The beef is Australian through and through, with MLA powering a buffet that runs from marbled Wagyu to low-and-slow brisket, all kissed by charcoal and wood smoke and none of is limited. The beer comes courtesy of Birra Moretti, poured ice-cold to match the heat coming off the grill, with Australian wine on hand for those who prefer a glass of red alongside their steak.  

Then there is the dad rock. Urban Oasis turns into an outdoor stage devoted to classic rock across both nights, with Asa & The Masa opening the weekend on Friday, 4 December, and The Midnight Ramblers taking over on Saturday, 5 December.  

A GUEST AT THE GRILL: CHEF IT OF NEUA.NEUR.BKK

Joining the Kimpton kitchen for both nights is Chef It of Neua.Neur.Bkk (เนื้อเหนือ), an Aussie Beef Mate, who brings Northern Thai flavours to the fire with three dishes created exclusively for Aussie Beef on Fire. 

The one to save room for is his Khao Soi Slow-Cooked Chuck Rib: Australian chuck rib cooked until tender and rich, then served in a fragrant Northern Thai Khao Soi curry sauce with pickled mustard greens. His Charcoal-Grilled Hanger Steak uses Australian beef grain-fed for 200 days, grilled over charcoal for a smoky edge and served with a spicy galangal Nam Jim Jaew and a Northern Thai-inspired Neua.Neur chimichurri. Rounding out his line-up, the Australian Wagyu Beef Skewer features Wagyu topside (MB 8-9) marinated in aromatic Thai herbs, skewered and grilled straight over the coals. 

OFF THE KIMPTON CHARCOAL GRILL 

The Kimpton team lead by Executive Sous Chef Thanatpol “Kong” Jarunavin, Thailand’s Lambassador, brings serious firepower of its own. The Charcoal-Grilled Australian Wagyu Striploin (MB 4-5) arrives with a beautifully charred crust, finished with smoked sea salt and fresh herbs. The 12-Hour Smoked Australian Beef Brisket is cut from Black Onyx MB 3, 100% pure Black Angus, and smoked over hickory wood until deeply flavoured. Sous Vide Australian Beef Tongue is gently cooked until tender, sliced and finished over charcoal for a smoky touch, while the Slow-Braised Australian Beef Cheek is marinated overnight in red wine and fresh herbs, then braised until that melt-in-the-mouth texture is reached.

For anyone not in the mood for beef, there is Texas BBQ Smoked Chicken with a spiced rub, smoked over cherry wood for two hours, and Smoked Pork Belly, apple wood smoked with a crisp caramelised finish and an apple BBQ glaze.

No BBQ is complete without the extras. Sides include dishes such as charcoal-roasted baby potatoes with garlic, rosemary and beef drippings, a smoked potato gratin with Parmesan and thyme, charred seasonal vegetables and wild mushrooms, and grilled corn on the cob. A generous sauce and condiment bar lets every guest build their perfect bite, from Australian beef jus, peppercorn sauce and smoked BBQ sauce to horseradish cream, and house pickles. 

THE KIDS' TABLE

Father's Day is a family affair, so the little ones get a corner of their own. The Kids’ Corner serves Cheeseburger Smacos made with a grilled Australian Wagyu beef patty, melted cheddar, lettuce, tomato and classic burger sauce, alongside crispy panko-crumbed chicken tenders with honey mustard and classic French fries. To finish, there is vanilla and chocolate soft serve with a selection of fun toppings, which may well tempt a few dads too. Children aged 6 to 12 join the party for THB 750++ per child.
