Prana successfully steers the Skippers’ VIP Reception at the Samui Regatta 2010
On a sultry evening last Tuesday, 1 June, Prana Resorts and Spa played host to about 80 VIP guests from the Samui Regatta 2010, entertaining them with a tempting spread of vegetarian canapés, free flow of wine and champagne, chilled out lounge music, and the view of a spectacular sunset from the resort’s pool deck.
The guests were primarily the skippers and their partners who were participating in the annual Samui Regatta from 31 May to 5 June, some local and foreign media, as well as GMs from other resorts on Samui. The Regatta, now into its 9th year, has cemented its importance to the Asian yachting scene by being the last Regatta in the Asian Yachting Grand Prix series, and attracted more than 300 participants from around the globe this year. The Regatta garners a lot of media coverage and generates millions for the island’s economy.
The staff at Prana worked hard all day to ensure the evening’s event would be smooth sailing, setting up the bar, re-arranging the furniture, and preparing a visually stunning spread of food which received much praise from the guests. Many were very surprised at how good vegetarian food could taste. Chef Jonny mingled with guests, answering their questions about his culinary creations such as the Mushroom Skewers in Paenang Curry, Beetroot Sushi, Mussaman Curry Filo Triangles, and Homemade Mushroom Ravioli with Truffle Sauce.
Wendy Phay, Assistant General Manager of Prana, said, “We’re delighted to be able to sponsor this reception and be part of the Samui Regatta activities. It’s an event that gets a lot of media focus, so this is yet another way of creating a buzz about Prana, which is already seeing increased awareness among the islanders and visitors due to our ‘Vegetarian with a Twist’ campaign for Amala Restaurant, and the regular themed events that we host.”
