MAYA Upmarket Indian Restaurant Opens in Sukhumvit After one year of architectural planning and construction, Maya Restaurant and Bar at the Holiday Inn in Sukhumvit 22 is finally ready to impress. Opening its doors for the first time last Friday, the stylish enterprise utilises luxurious onyx black detailing, rare marbles, traditional Indian steel work and floor to ceiling windows to showcase the panoramic views of Bangkok from its lofty top floor setting. As you walk into Maya you will be met by the open kitchen housing Thailand s three biggest copper Tandoors and skilled chefs manning traditional clay ovens serving succulent chicken, fresh seafood, hand made breads and much more. The menu is based on traditional Northern Indian flavours but has been enhanced with modern treatment and presentation. Inspired signature dishes include Hare Nimbu Ki Jhinga Machli (tandoor grilled fresh Lobster marinated with kaffir lime and yellow chilli) and Sarson Salmon Tikka (bishop Seed and yellow chilli spiked Norwegian Salmon, served with spicy prawn and mustard oil chutney). Maya is also an architectural feat, being housed in the largest cantilevered building in Thailand, and jutting 20 metres out on an overhang from the main building. The total area of this outreach is an impressive 450 square metres. Page 24 www.bangkokscene.com

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has joined hands with Thai Airways International, Asia Web Direct, and more than 30 leading providers of health, beauty, and spa treatments to launch a digital marketing initiative promoting the country s thriving health and wellness industry. The campaign takes aim at women in the Asia­Pacific market, including Thailand, who are looking for ways to rediscover themselves, and on offer is a wide selection of exclusive deals on wellness and beauty treatments, spa packages, and hotel stays in Thailand. According to TAT s Governor, Mr. Suraphon Svetasreni, From studies on medical tourists' behaviours, we learned that most of them research and book reservations for health and beauty services online. So we launched the 'Find Your Fabulous' digital marketing campaign to promote the health and beauty segment of Thailand's tourism industry. Fortunately for us, and for medical travellers, over 30 leading providers of wellness­related services including clinics, spas, and health centres signed up to offer over 150 packages of exclusive health, beauty, and hotel deals that allow tourists from all over the world to book online and receive special pricing, he added. The new campaign was launched at Sofitel So on July 19th with a press conference and a fashion show featuring well known faces on the local scene who have all kept their looks with the aid of Thailand s health and wellness programmes.
