Best Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncakes in Bangkok for 2026

What is it? Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok welcomes this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival with a striking ‘Fire Horse’ collection, drawing inspiration from the Chinese zodiac – expressed through contemporary art, design and flavour. Speaking of which, the collection features four mooncakes in each set with five flavours – durian with melon seed and egg yolk; custard caramel latte and almond; savoury chicken floss and chili paste; and sesame chocolate mochi. Jury’s out on which flavour is the best. The highlight of this year’s collection is the ‘Kimpton Signature Mooncake Box’, a horseshoe-shaped leather box symbolising good fortune, strength and protection. Created in collaboration with Artstory by Autistic Thai, the design features artist Anusone Tunarin’s striking illustration of the Fire Horse, brought to life through fiery red, metallic gold and deep brown tones. Very fitting for the zodiac theme. Finished with gold foil accents, debossed detailing and a velvet-lined interior, the box is made to live on long after the last mooncake crumb is gobbled up, best used as a keepsake, jewelry box or a decorative piece on your mantelpiece. And as if the fillings weren't reason enough to indulge, every box sold also supports a good cause, with a portion of the proceeds going towards vocational skills development for individuals with autism.

Why we love it: Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok continues to be one of the hotels that transforms mooncakes into more than just a seasonal gift, with each annual collection carrying a meaningful story behind its design. This year, the collection’s appeal lies not only in its eye-catching packaging but also in its use of art as a platform to support autistic artists and give back to the community.
