Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Redefines 'Khao Chae' with Four Rare Regional Grains

Departing from the traditional use of a single rice grain, Renaissance Bangkok is championing sustainability and local farmers by allowing diners to customize their Khao Chae experience with four distinct, nutrient-rich rices:

• NORTH (The Highland Soul): Buesomi Rice, a rare heirloom grain from the Karen hill tribe villages, known for its soft texture and earthy aroma.
• SOUTH (The Royal Legacy): Sang Yod Rice from Phatthalung, a GI-certified (Geographically Indicated) red grain prized for its high fiber and delicate sweetness.
• CENTRAL (The Fragrant Heart): Hom Bai Toey Rice, a traditional Nakhon Sawan variety naturally imbued with the scent of fresh pandan leaves.
• NORTHEAST (The Isan Treasure): Surin Black Jasmine, a deep-purple superfood rice that adds a bold visual and nutty complexity to the chilled jasmine water.

"We wanted to do more than just serve a summer snack," says Executive Chef Attakrit Sithiwaykin. "By featuring these four grains, we are offering a map of Thailand's biodiversity on a single plate. Our guests can explore different textures and flavors while directly supporting the local communities that keep these rare rices alive."

The Full 'Flavors' Experience

Unlike the typical fixed-set menu, this seasonal specialty is seamlessly integrated into the International Lunch Buffet at Flavors. Guests can enjoy the elaborate Khao Chae—complete with traditional hand-crafted side dishes like stuffed shallots, crispy shrimp paste balls (Kapi Thod), and sweet shredded pork—alongside the restaurant's signature seafood on ice, prime carvings, and global delicacies.
