A celebration fit for a King
“Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes.” — Kenneth Hildebrand
It was a grand evening showcasing an indulgent repertoire of all things Thai held at Dusit Thani Manila’s (DTMN) Grand Ballroom through the graciousness of regional vice president of Dusit International and president of Philippine Hoteliers Inc. Gerhard Kropp and general manager Prateek Kumar. Hosted by the Ambassador of the Royal Embassy of Thailand Kulkumut Singhara Na Ayudhaya, the successful celebration and the most-attended event of the year was graced by heads of various consulates and embassies who gathered to honor the birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo was the guest speaker of the night. One of the highlights of the event was the “street food and hawker’s place” booths participated in by Thai restaurants led by Benjarong Royal Thai Restaurant of Dusit Thani Manila, offering bestsellers for the guests to enjoy. This event was co-presented by Thai Airways headed by its GM Nivat Chantarachoti.
Congratulations and long live the King!
