\LAY Beach Club in Pattaya, Thailand is preparing to celebrate its first anniversary with a Spanish-themed culinary event titled “Sabores del Mar” (Flavours of the Sea). The celebration will take place on Saturday, March 14 from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm at the beachfront venue located on Beach Road along the Gulf of Thailand’s east coast.
The anniversary event will feature Spanish tapas, Mediterranean dishes and live culinary stations, alongside entertainment and sunset celebrations overlooking Pattaya’s shoreline.
Anniversary celebration planned with Spanish culinary showcase
The event will bring together three chefs from Meliá Hotels, who will curate a menu inspired by Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine.
The participating chefs include:
- William Stringfellow from Meliá Pattaya Hotel,
- Juan Ignacio “Nacho” García Racionero from INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, and
- Lluis Cantons from Meliá Koh Samui.
Guests will be welcomed with sunset sangria and canapés, followed by a series of dishes served at live stations.
The menu will include patatas bravas (spicy potatoes), paella de marisco (seafood paella), gambas al ajillo (Spanish garlic shrimp) and fideua capellini (Spanish angel hair pasta). These will be paired with Spanish sparkling wines, white wines and red wines.
Entertainment and themed atmosphere
