JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru is set to host its first international culinary residency with JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa, bringing the authentic flavours of Thailand’s southern coast to Bengaluru through an exclusive dining experience at JW Kitchen.

Taking place from July 31 to August 9, 2026, the limited-time residency marks the first collaboration between the two JW Marriott properties and will showcase a specially curated menu inspired by the culinary traditions of Khao Lak, a renowned coastal destination in Southern Thailand.

Leading the residency are Chef Worapong Wongvaiyuth (Chef Eak) and Chef Sawangjit Kongchana (Chef Lookked), who will present dishes rooted in Thailand’s rich regional heritage. The menu highlights authentic recipes from JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa, prepared using regional ingredients, traditional techniques, and time-honoured cooking methods.

Speaking about the residency, Chef Worapong Wongvaiyuth (Chef Eak) said, “The menu reflects the flavours we are proud to serve at JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa every day. It is rooted in regional traditions and prepared with the same techniques that define Southern Thai cuisine. We look forward to sharing these recipes and their stories with guests in Bengaluru.”

Chef Sawangjit Kongchana (Chef Lookked) added, “Every dish on the menu represents the balance, freshness and simplicity that are central to Thai cooking. We hope guests experience not only the cuisine, but also the warmth and generosity that define Thai hospitality.”

The collaboration celebrates the shared values of both JW Marriott properties, bringing together culinary craftsmanship, cultural exchange, and meaningful guest experiences through food.

Commenting on the partnership, Gaurav Sinha, Hotel Manager, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru, said, “One of the most rewarding aspects of hospitality is its ability to bring people, cultures, and stories together around the table. We are delighted to welcome our colleagues from JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa to Bengaluru and share a dining experience that is deeply rooted in authenticity and tradition.”

He added, “Beyond the food, this guest chef experience is an opportunity for our guests to experience the warmth, passion, and craftsmanship that define Thai hospitality, making it a truly memorable celebration of the spirit of the JW Marriott family.”
