The morning’s activities seamlessly transitioned into the evening gala, set against the backdrop of the Andaman Sea, at RAVA Beach Club.

Mika Apichatsakol, Senior Editor at Prestige Thailand initiated the evening with a short welcome speech before passing it over to Björn Rettig, CEO, BurdaLuxury, who highlighted the impact that Prestige Thailand’s expansion into the Southern region has had since its launch in October of last year, and reflected on its success in providing a platform to build a more inclusive community throughout the region, emphasising the brand’s intention to continue fostering this growing network.
This was followed by a three-course dinner that incorporated presentations from key partners. The aperitif portion of the dinner was presented by GEM Scientific Beauty, and included a dedicated speech from its CEO, Sansinee Junyavijux, and a live jazz band performance. The first course appetiser was presented by VitalLife, alongside insights from Assistant Professor Dr. Polakit Teekakirikul.
