At Rim Tai Kitchen, a dazzling Easter Sunday Brunch delivers a crackle and crunch highlighted by live counters and fresh seafood off the grill.

April Splash

“At Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, we invite you to immerse yourself in the spirit of Songkran, embracing activities that honour Thai heritage," states Ashok Nair, Director of Rooms and Residences. "Our curated experiences are designed to make your Thai New Year celebration truly memorable."

Guests are welcomed to participate in the traditional water blessing ceremony, Rod Nam Dam Hua, a ritual that symbolizes purification and the welcoming of blessings for the new year. Additionally, the Resort offers the unique opportunity to engage in Kor Kong Sai, the art of sand pile making, set against the tranquil backdrop of the Resort’s Yoga Barn. Another enriching experience includes crafting Lanna flags, Tung Sai Moo at Chan Baan, where guests can delve into the symbolism of these vibrant flags and create their own, infusing their space with beauty and significance.

Blending with Culinary Traditions

The festive atmosphere is palpable at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai as Songkran, the Thai New Year, is celebrated with great enthusiasm. “Songkran presents an unparalleled opportunity for family bonding,” notes Tshudin. He highlights the Family Cooking Class at Rim Tai Kitchen as a must-do experience. Guests are invited to embark on a culinary journey that mirrors the rich tradition of family cooking in Thai culture. Together, families can explore the diverse flavours of the cuisine, learning various cooking techniques and discovering unique ingredients straight from Chef’s Garden. This experience is not just about gastronomy; it's a celebration of family bonds and cultural immersion, offering a delightful blend of fun, tradition, and deliciousness.

KHAO by Four Seasons rings in this truly Thai family celebration with a Songkran Wine night offering a lavish spread of traditional delicacies paired with a selection of premium wines from the Monsoon Valley collection. At both celebrations, desserts play a key part, and the pastry chef leaves no stone unturned to ensure that guests are offered a unique, seasonal experience. “The mango afternoon tea features an exquisite presentation of sweet and savoury patisserie delights,” confirms Tschudin. “Served overlooking the glistening green rice paddies, this is a not-to-be-missed springtime serenade.”

Mindfulness and Wellbeing

Reconnecting as a family through wellness can have a profound and lasting impact, and at the award-winning Wara Cheewa Spa, guests are being offered a variety of experiences and rituals to choose from. “The Cosmic Manifestation Sound Bath Ritual is a transformative experience that helps the body align with universal energies through the resonance of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls,” suggests Director of Spa Saowapa Thumapun.
