Bangkok is set to host the first Tastemakers event of 2026, an invitation-only networking evening designed for senior leaders in the hospitality, business, and creative industries. Scheduled for 29 January 2026 at Oasis Rooftop Bar, located at Paradox Bangkok Sukhumvit, the gathering promises a refined environment for meaningful dialogue, professional connections, and curated experiences.
The January edition marks the beginning of Tastemakers Bangkok’s annual series, which has built a reputation as a selective platform emphasizing quality engagement over mass attendance. Rather than functioning as a conventional networking event, the series offers senior professionals an opportunity to interact in a relaxed, social environment where conversations flow naturally, and relationships can develop organically.
The rooftop setting has been carefully chosen to complement this approach. Guests will enjoy panoramic city views, an ambient atmosphere, and a layout that encourages casual yet productive exchanges. By combining a visually striking venue with understated design elements, the event creates a space where networking feels effortless, blending professional focus with social ease.
A hallmark of Tastemakers Bangkok is its balance between structured planning and informal engagement. While the evening will include subtle activations designed to foster conversation, there is no rigid schedule or formal programming. This allows attendees to navigate the space freely, interact with peers at their own pace, and participate in discussions that resonate with their professional interests and personal curiosities.
Supporting the event’s reach beyond the rooftop, TravelDailyNews serves as official media partner. Through editorial coverage and region-wide features distributed across Asia-Pacific channels, the partnership ensures that the gathering’s impact extends far beyond the physical venue. The collaboration highlights Bangkok as a hub for professional exchange and underscores the city’s dynamic hospitality and business environment.
Culinary experiences will play a central role in the evening. Yummy Greece will bring contemporary Mediterranean flavors, combining quality gastronomy with cultural storytelling. This approach reinforces Tastemakers Bangkok’s philosophy of integrating food and beverage into the networking experience—not merely as refreshment but as a catalyst for conversation and connection. Guests will be able to explore innovative flavors and culinary techniques while engaging in professional dialogue, adding a sensory dimension to the event.
In addition to the culinary offerings, Sierra Tequila will contribute to the evening’s beverage program, enhancing the hospitality experience. Partnerships are carefully curated to complement the event’s atmosphere and maintain a high standard of quality, ensuring that every element supports meaningful interaction without overwhelming the professional focus of the gathering.
Tastemakers Bangkok is the result of collaboration between Oriental Hospitality Experts, a Singapore-based consultancy with over two decades of experience in hospitality advisory, and Saffron Asia Media, a Bangkok-based specialist in media, events, and brand experiences. Together, the organizations design events that connect senior professionals in distinctive settings, combining local character, cultural context, and industry relevance.
The invitation-only nature of the event underscores the series’ commitment to exclusivity and purposeful engagement. By limiting attendance to a curated group of senior decision-makers, Tastemakers Bangkok creates an environment where every conversation carries value and every connection has potential impact. The platform’s selective approach ensures that networking is focused, meaningful, and conducive to long-term professional relationships.
As the opening event of 2026, this rooftop gathering exemplifies Tastemakers Bangkok’s approach to blending professional exchange with lifestyle-driven experiences. It provides a space for thought leadership, cross-industry collaboration, and relationship building, all within a setting that balances formality with approachability. By maintaining a curated guest list, partnering with distinctive brands, and selecting visually striking venues, Tastemakers Bangkok continues to redefine professional networking in Bangkok, setting a high standard for engagement throughout the year.
With its combination of elevated views, culinary innovation, and curated networking opportunities, the January 2026 edition of Tastemakers Bangkok is poised to deliver a memorable and impactful experience for Bangkok’s senior professional community. The event reaffirms the series’ role as a premier platform for connection, conversation, and collaboration in the region’s dynamic hospitality and business landscape.
