This collaboration with Le Cordon Bleu Dusit is one the campaigns that we hope will impress our passengers. This collaboration not only showcases the best of both brands; Boutique lounges of Bangkok Airways and the world-class cooking and pastry expertise of Le Cordon Bleu Dusit -- but it also demonstrates how two brands from different businesses can work together and offer something creative.”

“As part of the campaign, we will offer three exclusive flavors that represent Bangkok Airways’ unique destinations which are, Crispy Banana representing Maldives, Raspberry Chocolate representing Chiang Mai, plus Lime and Coconut that represents Koh Samui. These special macaroons have been exclusively crafted by Chef Frederic Legras of Le Cordon Bleu Dusit for Bangkok Airways passengers to get in the Christmas spirit.

Mr. Michel Peters, Joint Venture Director of Le Cordon Bleu Dusit said, “Since we, Le Cordon Bleu, and Bangkok Airways, are both using Blue Ribbons to indicate our level of luxury and dedication, I felt moved to capture this essence and make it the conceptual heart of this collaboration. Our pastry chef, Chef Frederic Legras, and his team have prepared three special favors for Bangkok Airways. We hope that Bangkok Airways passengers will enjoy these tasty Christmas treats courtesy of Le Cordon Bleu Dusit and Bangkok Airways”.
