BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 October 2026 – Choosing a restaurant today may begin with more than the question, “What would you like to eat?” It may also mean asking, “Who would you like to spend time with?” and “What kind of meal would you like it to be?” Whether it is a family meal, a gathering with friends, a celebration of a special occasion or a romantic moment by the sea, each calls for different flavours, atmospheres and experiences.
ONYX Dining invites guests to discover a variety of dining experiences at Amari Bangkok and Amari Pattaya, from family meals with something for every generation and relaxed gatherings over long conversations to opportunities to discover new flavours or dine by the sea. Each offers more than a meal: “More of What You Love”
A family meal with something for everyone at the table — Prego
When dining out as a family, everyone may have a different favourite. Some may be in the mood for pizza, others may prefer pasta, while others may wish to try something new. Prego Italian Restaurant at Amari Bangkok brings a variety of Italian dishes together at one table, from wood-fired pizza, homemade pasta and Italian classics to children’s menus and gluten-free options. Highlights also include Risotto alla Montanara, one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, burrata and tiramisu, allowing everyone to choose a dish they love and make the most of their time together.
For those looking to swap the city for the seaside, Prego Pattaya Pasta Lab & Bar at Amari Pattaya welcomes guests with fresh pasta made in-house, pizza and contemporary interpretations of Italian classics, overlooking the curve of North Pattaya Beach. Meanwhile, Amaya Food Gallery offers familiar Thai and international dishes, making a seaside meal another opportunity to relax and spend time with family or someone special.
This November, Prego is set to open a new location at Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok, offering another choice for families looking to spend time together over their favourite Italian dishes, whether in the city, by the sea or close to the airport.
A Thai meal for moments when you want the conversation to last a little longer — ChomSindh
For meals with older family members or friends of different generations, part of the appeal of Thai cuisine lies in gathering around a table to enjoy a variety of dishes, choosing, serving and sharing as the conversation flows. ChomSindh at Amari Bangkok presents Thai cuisine inspired by rivers and the sea, with dishes such as Chaiya-style Pad Thai with River Prawns, ChomSindh Rice Soup, Naree Kansaeng, Tiger Prawns Stir-fried with Herbs and Spices using a traditional recipe, and Grouper with Three-flavour Sauce. These dishes draw on recipes passed down through generations, locally sourced ingredients and traditional cooking techniques, served in a contemporary setting with an open kitchen.
ChomSindh is also bringing its flavours to Amari Johor Bahru in Malaysia through a pop-up throughout October, followed by Amari Hua Hin throughout November. These pop-ups invite guests to discover Thai cuisine inspired by rivers and the sea, while sharing good food and memorable moments with family and friends. With a selection of dishes brought together at one table, everyone can explore different flavours while talking, exchanging stories and spending time together throughout the meal, bringing the pleasure of good food together with the joy of good company.
Turn an everyday meal into a special occasion with new flavours — NILA
Celebrations need not be reserved for birthdays or anniversaries. Some good news, a new beginning or simply a desire to spend time together can be reason enough. NILA at Amari Bangkok presents a contemporary interpretation of Indian cuisine from across the country, drawing on the heritage, stories and memories behind its recipes. Its approachable flavours make it an inviting choice for couples and groups of friends keen to discover something new.
More than a meal: time spent together, another experience from ONYX Hospitality Group
From family meals where everyone can choose a favourite dish and longer conversations over Thai cuisine to exploring new flavours with friends or enjoying a change of scenery by the sea, food may be the starting point, but it is the time spent together that makes each meal memorable.
For ONYX Hospitality Group, which manages hotels, resorts, serviced apartments and luxury residences, alongside restaurants and spas across Asia Pacific, dining is another important part of the journey. The Group has therefore developed ONYX Dining to bring together its restaurants with a variety of concepts, from Italian, Thai and contemporary Indian cuisine to seaside dining, while establishing a distinctive identity for each restaurant in its destination.
This approach aligns with ONYX Hospitality Group’s More of What You Love theme, reflecting the idea of choosing to spend time on the things each person enjoys throughout their journey, from dining and relaxation to activities, discovering destinations and moments shared with the people who matter.
ONYX Rewards members can enjoy dining discounts at participating restaurants according to their membership tier, while Prego offers discounts starting from 10% and up to 30% for Platinum members, in addition to accommodation benefits, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
Whatever the occasion, the question may be more than “What would you like to eat today?” It may also be “Who would you like to spend this meal with?”

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 October 2026 – Char koay teow infused with the smoky aroma of the wok, rice served with richly spiced curries, and a refreshing bowl of chendol enjoyed while exploring historic streets all offer an introduction to Penang, a destination whose World Heritage streets are complemented by a distinctive food culture. Its charm lies not only in the flavours, but also in watching dishes being prepared, chatting with local people and sampling unfamiliar specialities, turning every meal into another memorable part of the journey.
Amaya Food Gallery, Amari SPICE Penang
ONYX Hospitality Group invites travellers to discover Penang’s charm through OZO George Town Penang and Amari SPICE Penang. From beginning the day with a delicious meal in a welcoming setting before exploring George Town’s vibrant streets and local culture, to venturing out to sample the diverse flavours that define the destination, both hotels offer opportunities to experience Penang’s food culture alongside a stay with its own distinctive character.

Highlights include OZO Char Koay Teow, a Malaysian-style stir-fried flat noodle dish, and nasi lemak, coconut rice served with an assortment of accompaniments. Guests can explore local flavours while others at the table choose familiar favourites to suit their tastes.
Yet the appeal of Penang’s food extends well beyond the hotel. Even when serving the same dish, each eatery brings its own cooking techniques and distinctive flavours. At OZO George Town Penang, OZO Connectors, team members who are always ready to chat and share insights into local food and culture, help enrich the stay. Whether suggesting places to try or encouraging guests to discover new flavours for themselves, they offer a welcoming connection to the destination. The team also takes care to listen to guests’ dietary requirements and liaise with the kitchen to help ensure meals suit individual needs.
When exploring the city, travellers are invited to discover nasi kandar, rice served with a selection of curries and side dishes distinguished by their fragrant spices, or asam laksa, a noodle dish with a distinctive sour fish broth. Round off the experience with chendol, a dessert of green strands of jelly served with coconut milk, sugar and shaved ice. Lebuh Keng Kwee, near Jalan Penang, is another worthwhile stop while wandering through George Town.
Whether beginning the day with breakfast overlooking the city or heading out for a leisurely stroll and a taste of local food, each moment forms part of the experience at OZO George Town Penang. Combining comfort, a friendly atmosphere and opportunities to get to know the city through its flavours and the stories encountered along the way, the hotel invites guests to discover Penang’s charm in their own way.
Meanwhile, Amari SPICE Penang introduces travellers to the region’s food culture through Amaya Food Gallery. Inspired by Asian food markets and hawker stalls, the restaurant brings this atmosphere to life through food stations and open kitchens, allowing diners to watch dishes being prepared up close in a lively setting that adds to the enjoyment of every meal.
Amaya’s menu brings together flavours from Penang, Malaysia and across Asia, alongside international dishes and touches of Thai cuisine. Penang Char Koay Teow is among its signature dishes, presenting local flavours in a contemporary setting and inviting diners to experience the appeal of Penang’s cuisine through the taste and distinctive character of freshly prepared food.
With its varied dining choices and an atmosphere that encourages guests to linger together, Amaya Food Gallery caters both to those keen to discover local flavours and to those who enjoy international cuisine. Mealtimes become an opportunity for everyone to share their favourites and enjoy the richness of Asian food culture together.
Amari SPICE Penang is located in Bayan Lepas. Guests wishing to explore the restaurants and historic streets of George Town can plan their journey by car or use a ride-hailing service, with Amari Hosts on hand to offer advice on routes and transport, making it easier to experience Penang’s vibrant food culture.
Whether discovering new places to eat with recommendations from OZO Connectors or Amari Hosts, or spending time together over a meal at EAT and Amaya Food Gallery, experiences at both hotels allow guests to encounter Penang through its many dimensions, from its food and people to its distinctive atmosphere. These experiences reflect ONYX Hospitality Group’s philosophy of “More of What You Love”, which embraces the variety of experiences a journey can offer, giving guests time to enjoy what they love, discover new facets of a destination and take home fond memories.

SCG Shares Perspectives on Innovation and AI at the Forbes Global CEO Conference 2026, Highlighting New Ways of Working for a Fast-Changing Business World
The Forbes Global CEO Conference is an annual gathering of business leaders, investors and thought leaders from around the world to exchange views on the economy, business trends and opportunities for international collaboration. This year’s conference was held in Singapore on 7–8 October 2026, with SCG among the representatives of the Thai business community in attendance.
Mr. Thammasak said, “The rapid pace of change in the business world requires organizations to adapt in terms of technology, mindset and ways of working. Innovation is not limited to adopting new technologies; it also means adjusting working models to suit the circumstances so that teams can think, decide and act together more quickly. One example is Low Carbon Cement, for which SCG has combined external knowledge with in-house research to accelerate development and scale-up to commercial production. This responds to customers’ demand for green products and enhances the competitiveness of the domestic cement industry. Development has also begun in Vietnam, with plans to expand to Indonesia.”
At the Forbes Global CEO Conference 2026, SCG exchanged views with business leaders from various industries in China and India who joined the panel on “Faster Turns, Breaking Limits.” The discussion covered innovation, AI and technology, as well as adapting mindsets and ways of working to keep pace with a changing business landscape and with competition across ASEAN.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 October 2026 – Asia Coach Group and artificial intelligence technology company OmniHub AI today announced a strategic partnership to launch Asia Masterclass, a new knowledge platform designed to bring the expertise, experience and perspectives of Asian mentors, entrepreneurs and industry professionals to a global audience.
Asia Masterclass
Positioned as “The Global Gateway to Asian Expertise,” Asia Masterclass will combine premium knowledge content, artificial intelligence and global distribution to help Asian expertise cross traditional language and geographical barriers.
Under its planned subscription model, members will be able to access a growing library of masterclasses through a single account, featuring experts from across Asia in areas including business and management, investment and finance, marketing, health and wellness, technology, arts and culture, and personal development.
OmniHub AI will provide the technology powering the learning experience, including multilingual subtitles and translation, personalized content recommendations, learning behavior analysis and a 24/7 AI learning assistant.
The platform is designed to make Asian expertise easier to discover, understand and apply for learners across different countries, languages and markets.
Bringing Asian Expertise Beyond Local Markets
Asia is home to generations of entrepreneurs, professionals, educators and practitioners with valuable real-world knowledge across business, investment, marketing, health, technology, culture and many other fields.
Yet much of this expertise remains concentrated within local markets.
Language barriers, content production requirements and limited international distribution channels can make it difficult for Asian knowledge creators to reach learners outside their home countries.
Asia Masterclass aims to address this gap through a combination of content, technology and global distribution.
Asia Coach Group will contribute its network of mentors and industry professionals, together with its experience in content curation and professional education. OmniHub AI will provide the technology and platform capabilities required to support multilingual content, digital learning experiences and personalized learning.
Together, the two organizations aim to create a platform where Asian knowledge creators can reach wider international audiences — while giving learners around the world greater access to practical expertise developed across Asia.
April Lo, Founder of Asia Coach Group, said:
“Asia has an extraordinary depth of business knowledge, professional expertise and real-world experience, yet much of it remains within local markets. Through Asia Masterclass, we want to give more Asian mentors and professionals the opportunity to bring their knowledge to a global stage — and help learners around the world discover expertise from Asia that deserves to be seen and heard.”
Nic Leung, Founder of OmniHub AI, said:
“We believe the real value of technology is its ability to remove barriers. Traditionally, a class created in Hong Kong may face multiple challenges before it can effectively reach learners in Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe or North America. Language, content accessibility and distribution all create friction. Through AI, we want to progressively reduce those barriers and make Asian expertise easier for the world to understand, access and apply.”
Initial Launch Across Four Asian Markets
Asia Masterclass is scheduled to launch initially in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia in Fall 2026, with plans to progressively expand into Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, Europe and North America.
The platform aims to bring together more than 100 Asian mentors and experts within three years, building a growing library of knowledge across business, wealth, health, technology, culture and personal development.
Asia Coach Group currently brings together more than 30 professional mentors and entrepreneurs across fields including business, investment, marketing, health, technology and personal development.
Through its partnership with OmniHub AI, the organization aims to provide Asian mentors and professionals with new ways to transform their expertise into digital content that can reach audiences beyond their home markets.
OmniHub AI focuses on the application of artificial intelligence to knowledge and education. Its technologies support areas including multilingual content processing, personalized learning experiences, learning behavior analysis and AI-powered assistants.
Together, Asia Coach Group and OmniHub AI envision Asia Masterclass as more than an online learning platform.
Their longer-term ambition is to build an ecosystem connecting Asian knowledge creators with learners around the world — helping practical experience, professional expertise and cultural knowledge from Asia become a greater part of the global knowledge economy.
