To honour Father of the Nation, the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok in co-operation with the Caring Hearts for AIDS Foundation will organise “Bonding with Love”, a special charity afternoon tea with fashion show by celebrity father-son-daughter, in the ballroom on Friday 8 December 2017 from 2-4pm.
Inspired by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s hobbies and talents, Executive Pastry Chef Claus Olsen has created a range of sandwiches, pies and other choices. Items include Royal Project Treasure Chest, a dessert representing the royal project in Chiang Mai. Dark edible soil, part of the dessert, refers to the richness and fertility that yield healthy crops grown in the area. Golden Chocolate Sphere is inspired from old flavours and tradition, and time spent in Thailand. Suvarnabhumi, which means “The Golden Land”, inspired Chef Claus to re-create the golden freshness of raspberry and balsamic, while the dome is inspired by hills and mountains, the crunchiness reflects the textures in Thai cuisine and the milk chocolate represents the shipping lines from European countries to the port of Thailand.
The highlight will be a father-son-daughter fashion show by nine celebrities, including Khemanit “Pancake” Jamikorn and father; Somchai “Tao” Khemklad and daughters; Supakorn “Tok” Kitsuwan and daughter; Pharanyu “Tack” Rojanawuthitham and father; Nattee “Bob” Kosolpisit with daughter and sons; Techatorn “Putter” Jamikorn and daughter.
Plus a special performance by singers such as Rang Rockestra and Winai Panturak and fashion shows by honorary guests, beauty queens and models, including Khata Chinabunchorn, Tim Boda, Vaiyavit Leenanuchai, Russamee Tongsiripaisri.
Beauty Gems, Mark Thawin, Lorra by Monsiour, Myriad Grand Monde and Puvasa are proud sponsors of the charity afternoon tea with fashion show.
Two acrylic “Heart of the Land Phatara Maharaj” portraits of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej by Jay Surasen will be auctioned for charity. Mine oil paintings of Thailand’s beauty pageants by renowned Las Vegas-based performer Brad Wilkinson will be given to guests who donate more than 50,000 baht.
