If you've got dinner plans (or if you're thinking of something exciting) for May 22, 2026, then we may have the answer for you.
Kwann Restaurant, SOMA Bangkok, Swirl Cellar and Wine Bar, and Nysa Hotel Bangkok have teased an upcoming collaboration set for that Friday night. According to a "save the date" announcement shared on Instagram, they only revealed the date, with "more details to follow."
But the names attached to the event already suggest a night built around smoke, Thai flavors, wine, and a splash of Sukhumvit flair. With Kwann Restaurant, known for their fire-forward take on Thai cooking, SOMA Bangkok for their modern social kitchen approach, Swirl for their curated wine discoveries, and Nysa Hotel Bangkok for its five-star appeal on Sukhumvit Soi 11, guests can expect an exciting night.
Kwann, which describes their cuisine as "born from fire and smoke," presents their own interpretation of Thai cooking rooted in charcoal technique, heritage recipes, and unique, local ingredients. They aim to celebrate Thai produce through an invigorating menu that awakens your senses. Kwann was also among the world's best new restaurants in Condé Nast Traveler's 2025 Hot List.
Adding another layer to the collaboration, SOMA Bangkok brings their own contemporary interpretation of Thai culinary heritage. Their name is derived from “โสม,” or “SOM,” a Thai reference to the moon's celestial beauty. Led by Head Chef Pak Yamoo, and guided by Executive Chefs Chalee Kader and Num Weerawat, SOMA describes itself as a place where familiar flavors are pushed through a contemporary, but still approachable, point of view.
Swirl Cellar and Wine Bar is expected to bring their curated wine menus. As a "wine playground" for enthusiasts, Swirl offers artisanal bottles, wine-friendly cuisine, and lesser-known gems. Rather than chasing expensive and famous labels, Swirl says they seek out bottles with character, soul, and stories.
Hosting the collaboration is Nysa Hotel Bangkok, the latest five-star addition to Sukhumvit Soi 11. The hotel positions itself as a calm retreat within one of Bangkok's most energetic neighborhoods, offering a tranquil oasis amid the city's vibrant urban environment.
With the details still pending, interested guests should follow Kwann Restaurant, SOMA Bangkok, Swirl Cellar and Wine Bar, and Nysa Hotel Bangkok on Instagram for updates. Until then, those curious can save the date.
