Banyan Tree Phuket Launches "Table of Legends" at Saffron, in Collaboration with Blue Elephant Celebrating Thailand's Finest Culinary Heritage

The inaugural edition, taking place on 7-8 August 2026, is presented in collaboration with Blue Elephant Phuket, one of Thailand's most celebrated culinary institutions and a global ambassador of Heritage Thai cuisine. The event welcomes Master Chef Nooror Somany Steppe, Master Chef and Founder of Blue Elephant, who joins Chef Tipa-Tipaporn Phianthong and Chef Kai-Worapong Paenchoo of Saffron to create a specially curated five-course menu inspired by Thailand's exceptional seasonal produce and rich regional culinary traditions.

More than a guest chef collaboration, Table of Legends is envisioned as an ongoing culinary platform celebrating Thailand's agricultural abundance, indigenous ingredients and diverse gastronomic traditions. Each edition will feature distinguished chefs and renowned restaurants, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience Thai cuisine through unique creative collaborations while supporting local producers and preserving Thailand's culinary legacy.

"Blue Elephant and Saffron share the same pride and passion for Thai cuisine. We believe Thailand's culinary heritage deserves to be celebrated and recognised around the world. Bringing our kitchens together to explore exceptional local ingredients and create something meaningful is truly exciting," said Master Chef Nooror, Blue Elephant

For Chef Worapong, whose culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in Southern Thai traditions, the collaboration is an opportunity to honour the flavours that shaped his career.

"Thai food is memory for me—the flavours I grew up with and have dedicated my life to preserving. Table of Legends allows us to share that heritage with guests while celebrating the incredible ingredients found throughout Thailand," said Chef Worapong, Saffron, Banyan Tree Phuket.

Chef Tipaporn, whose contemporary interpretation of Thai cuisine is inspired by years of international culinary experience, believes exceptional ingredients are at the heart of every memorable dish.

"Discovering rare herbs, fruits and ingredients from local communities inspires every menu we create. These remarkable products allow Thai cuisine to continue evolving while remaining true to its roots," said Chef Tipaporn, Saffron, Banyan Tree Phuket.

Together, Banyan Tree Phuket and Blue Elephant Phuket invite guests to discover the richness of Thailand's culinary heritage through an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates craftsmanship, collaboration and the country's finest seasonal ingredients.
