Phuket’s art scene has been infused with a vibrant energy thanks to the RIZZ event at the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa. Every Thursday throughout May (last chance this Thursday!), they host a unique celebration of all things local: art, fashion, food, and culture. It’s an immersive experience that promises an unforgettable evening.
I had the pleasure of attending RIZZ myself, and let me tell you, it was an evening that exceeded all expectations. The effort put into every detail, from the meticulously prepared food to the captivating performances, was truly impressive. It’s clear that months of planning went into creating this unique event.
The YAYEE fashion show truly stole the show with their stunning batik designs! The Phuketian designer showcased incredible talent, and the quality of the fabrics felt luxurious. Seeing the employees
embrace their inner model was a delightful surprise. I couldn’t resist indulging in a beautiful dress and two adorable pouches – all at surprisingly affordable prices for such well-crafted pieces.
Artistic immersion
RIZZ is an immersive and exclusive experience that takes you on a journey through Phuket’s creative soul. The evening kicks off at 6 pm with bespoke cocktails and delectable canapés at Sala Swasdee Lobby Bar. This is the perfect time to mingle with fellow guests and get a taste of what’s to come.
Indulge in Lanna, a premium vodka crafted in the heart of Chalong Bay. Sip on bespoke cocktails, meticulously prepared by the skilled mixologists, as the sun dips below the Andaman Sea in fiery hues. Witness a captivating dance performance by the scenic pond, mirrored by a dazzling fire show –
a truly unforgettable spectacle. Live drums create a rhythmic heartbeat, drawing you into an evening of unparalleled luxury.
As the evening unfolds, you’ll be treated to a lavish four-course feast. Prepared by the esteemed chefs of JW Marriott’s various restaurants, this exclusive dining experience promises to tantalize your taste buds. However, RIZZ offers more than just a gourmet adventure. Witness the stunning designs of renowned Phuketian designer YAYEE come to life on a captivating runway – a true immersion into local fashion. Throughout the evening, be surrounded by other artistic expressions, from the intricate details of traditional Thai leather carving to the vibrant colors of ocean junk art. Let RIZZ transport you on a multi-sensory journey.
Your culinary adventure begins with delectable canapés and handcrafted cocktails at the chic Sala Swasdee Lobby Bar. Prepare to be surprised – the journey continues at a transformed JW Cafe, completely reimagined for the RIZZ experience. Bathed in the warm glow of traditional Lana-style lanterns, the transformed space exudes elegance and cultural charm, setting the stage for a four-course feast showcasing the culinary mastery of JW Marriott’s diverse restaurants.
Begin your culinary journey with a trip to Japanese cuisine with sushi from the famous Benihana Steakhouse, followed by an authentic Thai Tom Yum Kung from Ginja Taste. Indulge in homemade ravioli stuffed with mushrooms from Cucina, and finally, savor a perfectly grilled premium Angus beef from Australia at Andaman Grill.
The night doesn’t end there! To top it all off, RIZZ offers an extravagant East Beats West dessert buffet at M Beach Club. This is where you can indulge your sweet tooth and witness a spectacular fire show for a truly unforgettable epilogue.
