The Blue Elephant is pleased to announce the completion, and
opening of Blue Bar. Blue Bar’s interior is set upon
a
visit to “Old Bangkok”.
The focal point is the bar itself, a reproduction of the
Suphannahong,
the Royal Barge of Thailand. Of the more than 50 antique Royal
craft, the finest is the Suphannahong, reserved exclusively
for the conveying of Their Majesties the King and Queen. With
a figurehead fashioned in the shape of a swan (Hongsa)
and an intricately carved and gilded hull, the majestic
12.5m bar has been carved out of a single trunk of teak.
Master
craftsmen laboured for over 4 months on the bar.
The intricate feathers were painstakingly carved then applied
with 50,000 sheets
of gold leaf and inset with over 3,000 pieces
of stained mirrored mosaics,
giving a shimmering effect as if
it were actually afloat.
Suitably, a bar menu offering exceptional classics from Caipirinha,
and Cosmopolitan to Frozen Fruit Margaritas
as
well as newer items such as, Apple
Breeze and Coconut Cooler.
Bar snacks will also be available with some delicious bites.
If a more substantial meal is required after sampling the cocktail
list, drinkers can cross a bridge over carp filled ponds and
dine in the newly refurbished restaurant of the Blue
Elephant. The stunning interior is the perfect setting
in which to enjoy the delicious Royal Thai cuisine.
