Chef Eunjung Cho brings Seoul's contemporary pâtisserie to Bangkok for a limited-time afternoon tea experience
The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is bringing one of South Korea's most celebrated pâtisserie brands to Thailand with the launch of the Honeybee Seoul Afternoon Tea at Caleō. Available from 10 July to 7 August 2026, the limited-time collaboration introduces the refined artistry of Chef Eunjung Cho, founder of Honeybee Seoul, to Bangkok's luxury afternoon tea scene.
Designed for those who appreciate contemporary desserts and elegant dining experiences, the afternoon tea combines French pastry techniques with Korean-inspired flavors, offering a fresh interpretation of the classic afternoon ritual.
A Taste of Seoul in Bangkok
Chef Eunjung Cho has become one of Korea's leading pastry chefs through Honeybee Seoul, a café renowned for its delicate desserts and modern aesthetic. Trained at the prestigious École Lenôtre in France, Chef Eunjung blends classical French craftsmanship with Korean culinary influences, creating pastries that are both visually striking and technically refined.
Afternoon Tea Highlights
The Honeybee Seoul Afternoon Tea showcases a collection of desserts crafted with Valrhona chocolate alongside seasonal ingredients and inventive flavor pairings.
Among the signature creations is the Signature Chocolate Bear, a playful centerpiece featuring layers of rich chocolate presented with Honeybee Seoul's distinctive artistic style.
Another standout is the Apple Yuja Fruit Basket, balancing crisp apple with fragrant Korean yuja citrus and subtle notes of dulce de leche for a bright, refreshing finish.
Perhaps the most intriguing dessert is the Rice Doenjang Pavlova, where jasmine rice meets a lightly savory caramel inspired by traditional Korean fermented soybean paste. The unexpected combination reflects Chef Eunjung's contemporary approach to incorporating Korean flavors into fine pâtisserie.
Complementing the sweets is a classic selection of finger sandwiches, savory bites, and freshly baked scones served with traditional accompaniments, creating a balanced afternoon tea experience.
Afternoon Tea with Views of Lumpini Park
The experience takes place at Caleō, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok's elegant lounge inspired by legendary social clubs. Overlooking Lumpini Park and Bangkok's skyline, the venue provides a sophisticated setting that pairs naturally with the refined presentation of Honeybee Seoul's desserts.
Guests can also elevate the experience with a glass of Champagne Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve, available as an optional pairing.
For Bangkok's afternoon tea enthusiasts, this collaboration offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Seoul's most acclaimed dessert destinations without leaving Thailand, bringing together Korean creativity, French pastry craftsmanship, and the timeless elegance of afternoon tea in one limited-time experience.
