A Celebration of Thai Culinary Heritage basil at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Partners with the Legendary Samsen Villa

13 Jul 2026

Bangkok, Thailand – Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok, is proud to announce an extraordinary culinary collaboration between basil, the hotel's celebrated Thai restaurant, and Samsen Villa — one of Bangkok's most enduring and beloved dining institutions.

A Partnership Rooted in Legacy
Since 1978, Samsen Villa has held a singular place in the story of Thai cuisine. For nearly five decades, it has gathered generations of families, friends, and devoted food lovers around a table defined by authenticity, dishes drawn from the deepest traditions of Thailand's regional culinary heritage, served with the warmth of true Thai hospitality. In a city that never stops evolving, Samsen Villa has remained beautifully, resolutely itself.
This July, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit invites guests to encounter that legacy firsthand, through three exclusive culinary experiences that bring the heart of Samsen Villa to basil.

Drawing from Samsen Villa's celebrated repertoire, basil presents a specially curated à la carte menu honoring the diverse culinary traditions of Thailand's four regions. Dishes include Southern Blue Crab Curry, Pla Krapong Long Tai, Northern-style Khao Soi Gai, Gaeng Hang Lay, Northeastern Kor Moo Yang with Pla Ra Chili Dip, and Central Thai classics such as Hor Mok Talay Mapraow Orn and Lon Nua Poo. Each plate is a portrait of a tradition, refined through generations, preserved with care, and presented at basil with the elegance befitting a Luxury Collection dining experience.

For one exceptional evening, culinary enthusiasts are invited to an exclusive wine dinner that celebrates the artistry of Thai cuisine in an entirely new dimension. A specially crafted multi-course menu, inspired by signature Samsen Villa recipes, is thoughtfully paired with premium wines selected to complement each dish's distinct regional character, from the bright, briny depth of the south to the aromatic warmth of the north. This is Thai cuisine reimagined through the lens of fine dining: soulful in origin, sophisticated in expression.

Honoring the Past. Savoring the Present.
More than a collaboration, this is a tribute, to the restaurants that have quietly shaped Bangkok's culinary identity, and to the families and communities who have kept their tables full for generations.
By bringing the flavors and legacy of Samsen Villa to Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, we invite guests to rediscover timeless Thai dishes, to celebrate the richness of regional cuisine, and to experience what happens when two legacies, one of heritage, one of luxury hospitality, share the same table.
