Holidays are for loved ones, so why should the four-legged members of the family miss out? Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok’s The Festive Paw-lidays runs from December 1 2026 to January 3 2027, with Champagne afternoon tea and Italian dinners at Ms.Jigger, seafood feasts and gingerbread decorating at Stock.Room, plus rooftop countdowns at Bar.Yard and Maa-Lai Library. At this pet-friendly hotel in Langsuan, the furry ones get their own hamper, too.
Kick off the holiday season with paws and presents
The festivities get an early start on November 20 2026, when the hotel unveils its lobby Christmas tree in collaboration with Bangkok design studio THINKK Studio. An ornament-making and dog toy workshop gives you a chance to put your own creative Christmas spin on a one-of-a-kind gift.
Speaking of presents, the Merry Maa-Lai Hampers collection includes a Pet Hamper at B1,777 net, alongside festive goodies for humans. Pre-orders are open, with collection from November 1 2026 to January 10 2027. Order at least three days ahead. That's one more name crossed off the nice list.
’Tis the season for festive feasting
For the humans, there's plenty to get excited about, too. Ms.Jigger and Ruby’s embrace their feline side with ‘Purr-fect Festive Tales’, inspired by a rather sophisticated black cat. From December 1 2026 to January 3 2027, Ms.Jigger’s Festive Afternoon Tea pairs specially created sweet and savoury treats with two glasses of Champagne for B1,990++ per set for two. Tea is served daily, 11:30am-5pm.
On December 24 and 25, four-course Christmas dinners open with unlimited antipasti, followed by homemade pasta and mains carved tableside, then end the night on a sweet note with your choice of dessert. Live music accompanies dinner, served from 5:30pm-midnight. It costs B4,290++ per adult, including a glass of Champagne, or B2,145++ for children aged six to 12, including a drink, non-alcoholic of course.
Saving your appetite for New Year's Eve? The December 31 four-course dinner starts with red prawn tartare topped with Oscietra caviar and lobster ravioli, followed by a choice of herb-crusted monkfish or A5 Wagyu tenderloin. Hazelnut mousse with a raspberry centre finishes the meal. Prices start at B4,590++ per person, including a glass of bubbles, with live music and seatings at 5:30pm and 8:45pm.
Seafood and Santa at Stock.Room
Over at Stock.Room, ‘Merry Feast’ brings seafood, prime cuts and Christmas entertainment to the family table. Christmas Eve dinner runs 6:30pm-10:30pm, with seafood, honey-roasted ham, a magic show, a kids’ corner and Santa’s visit. Christmas Day brunch runs noon-3pm, with oysters, beef Wellington and grilled river prawns, plus live music, a DJ and more family entertainment. Prices start at B3,490++ and B3,790++ per adult respectively including soft drinks; children aged six to 12 dine for B1,290++ at either meal.
Little ones can also decorate a gingerbread house to take home at the Gingerbread House Workshop, held on Saturdays and Sundays from December 5-27, 1pm-5pm. It costs B1,100++ per person, including decorating materials and a non-alcoholic drink; book at least two days ahead. Making a sugary mess is part of the fun – and someone else gets the clean-up duty.
Raise a glass high above Bangkok
If 2026 hasn’t exactly been a breeze, give it a proper send-off. Bar.Yard’s December 31 rooftop countdown starts at 9pm, with DJ sets, Champagne and skyline views as Bangkok’s fireworks light up at midnight. Entry starts at B1,590++ per person, including a glass of Champagne. One level higher, Countdown to Midnight at The 41st also runs from 9pm until late, with panoramic views and free-flow gin, rum, vodka, whisky, beer, wine and Champagne at B6,990++ per person. Little ones needn’t miss out on the rooftop revelry. Ruby’s, located on the 30th floor of Maa-Lai Library has free-flow alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, gourmet canapés and live DJ beats as the countdown to 2027 begins. The celebrations run from 9pm to 1am on December 31, with tickets priced at B5,990++ for adults and B1,490++ for children aged 6-12.
There’s plenty to put in the family calendar, but bringing the whole pack takes a little planning. Pet access varies by venue and time: Ms.Jigger currently welcomes pets on its terrace from 11:30am-5pm, so check arrangements for your chosen event before bringing your furry sidekick.
