Bangkok--4 Aug--Bangkok Bank
Bangkok Bank Senior Vice President Shoke Na Ranong demonstrated his culinary flair today outside the bank’s head-office on Silom road, joining celebrities and representatives from Bangkok’s top restaurants in a cooking demonstration.
Donning a chef’s hat and apron, Mr. Shoke proved he is more than just a financial expert by producing tasty treats for the crowd of onlookers.
Star chefs M.L. Sirichalerm Svasti (McDang) and Mrs. Chalida Tantipipop were also on hand to feed the hundreds of onlookers who gathered outside the bank’s head-office.
The demonstration marked the 2006 launch of Bangkok Bank Credit Card’s highly successful 1001 Fine Dining campaign.
The campaign offers Bangkok Bank’s more than eight million credit and debit card holders discounts ranging from 5-50% at 1001 eateries and restaurants across the country.
Mr. Shoke, Bangkok Bank Credit Card Division manager, said last year’s Fine Dining campaign was so successful, the bank decided to repeat it again this year.
“This year, we have enhanced the program by including restaurants owned by some of Thailand’s most well known public figures and celebrities. There is a wide variety of restaurants participating in the campaign so customers have a huge choice of places to dine, ranging from those which are intimate and serene, through to lively, modern, and upbeat establishments.
“As someone who eats out a lot, I am particularly pleased to offer customers with this campaign. By offering great discounts across a range of restaurants, Bangkok Bank makes the fine dining experience even more affordable and accessible to customers.
“The restaurant listing is a useful guide for those who want to try new places and cuisines, without spending a fortune. Plus customers have the added certainty of knowing their Bangkok Bank Be1st or credit card will be accepted at every restaurant they dine in.”
The discounts are valid from August until May next year.
The 1001 Fine Dining campaign is part of Bangkok Bank’s ongoing commitment to offering rewards that suit its customers’ lifestyles.
