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.
