10 Marriott chefs unite for a biker-themed night of live cooking, cocktails, and charity at Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel
Marriott Bonvoy’s annual Chef Riders Charity Dinner is back for its seventh edition, bringing together ten accomplished chefs from Marriott Bonvoy hotels across Bangkok for a night of food, fun, and philanthropy. Taking place on Friday, 29 May 2026 at Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel, this year’s event will raise funds for Save the Children Thailand.
Moving away from the traditional sit-down dinner format, the 7th Annual Chef Riders Charity Dinner will take over the hotel’s stylish R Bar with a lively, interactive dining experience. Guests can look forward to ten live cooking stations, each led by one of Marriott’s culinary talents, creating an evening that is part charity dinner, part social gathering, and part open-air food festival.
The R Bar’s outdoor space will be transformed into a rustic yet refined camping ground, complete with communal dining areas, cocktail stands, and live entertainment. In true Chef Riders spirit, guests are encouraged to dress in their best biker gear, with leather, denim, and a black-and-silver Harley Davidson-inspired theme setting the tone for the night.
The chefs joining this year’s event include:
Chef Lek, Attakrit Sithiwaykin, and Chef Jerry Li from Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel
Chef X, Attapol Naito Thangthong, from Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse
Chef Marco Cammarata from Royal Orchid Sheraton Riverside Hotel Bangkok
Chef Rene Alcocer Vizarretea from The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok
Chef Frederik Farina from Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit
Chef Tor, Teerathep Tishabhiromya, from Madi Paidi Bangkok, Autograph Collection
Chef Chatch, Chachpol Suaisom, from Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport
Chef Gib, Supoj Suwanwong, from Jubilee Prestige Hotel Ratchadapisek
Chef Lek, Junjira Kaenthai, from Le Méridien Bangkok.
Throughout the evening, diners will be able to move between cooking stations, sample a wide variety of dishes, meet the chefs, and learn more about the local and sustainable ingredients behind the menus. The night will also feature live entertainment, charity lucky draws, cocktail stands, and plenty of networking opportunities.
Since its launch in 2019, the Chef Riders charity series has supported meaningful causes in Thailand for seven consecutive years, with a focus on improving the lives of disadvantaged children and their families. This year’s beneficiary, Save the Children Thailand, has worked in the country since 1979, supporting children with access to a better start in life, learning opportunities, and protection from harm.
The Chef Riders Dinner also forms part of Serve360, Marriott’s global social impact and sustainability platform, built around the company’s commitment to “Doing Good in Every Direction.”
