Bangkok has a way of making room for everyone. From buzzing collectives to private members clubs, there’s always a space for every lifestyle and JAI by ONESIAM is the latest to add its own flavour to the mix.
Founded by Siam Piwat Group, JAI positions itself as a borderless members’ club, a place where people from different worlds come together to exchange ideas, spark collaborations and share experiences. Its recent event, ‘JAI FES: Flavours of the Riviera’, brought that vision to life.
Taking place at Blue by Alain Ducasse, the evening unfolded like a conversation on a plate. Founding members Paulie Sirisant, cultural entrepreneur, and Nannapin ‘Pearl’ Banjurtrungkajorn, curator of immersive dining, joined new participants Vorasit ‘Wan’ Issara, a hospitality visionary, and Chef Evens Lopez to curate the night. Mediterranean and Thai flavours danced together and laughter flowed as naturally as the ideas being shared.
For JAI, this is just the overture. With monthly gatherings and global collaborations on the horizon, here’s what to know about the club.
What events does JAI by ONESIAM host?
JAI is anything but a typical soirée. It brings together art, gastronomy, culture and disparate industries to create experiences that can take place anywhere, anytime. Every month, the club hosts immersive gatherings created by its founding members alongside world-class brands.
Since its launch, the club has taken individuals on adventures around the globe. Highlights include an adrenaline-fueled trip to the Singapore Grand Prix with F1 driver Alex Albon, a luxe villa stay in Bali with BOSS, the global fashion brand, and a Frieze Art Week collaboration in Seoul with Hyundai Group, where participants explored contemporary art through exclusive curator-led tours and private exhibitions.
What kind of members join JAI by ONESIAM?
JAI isn’t a traditional club defined by access alone. Here, members are active participants, shaping culture and sparking innovation.
At a recent evening at Blue by Alain Ducasse, two new Founding Members brought fresh perspectives to the room: Pyra, the singer putting Thailand on the global music map, and Chef Evens Lopez, Executive Chef at Blue, celebrated for his extraordinary culinary vision. Together, they infused the JAI community with creativity — blending music, style, and the spirit of a new generation.
What highlights can you expect at the event?
More than just a gathering, each JAI event has its own special moments. At the late evening, the spotlight fell on the Caviar Room, created with the legendary French caviar house Kaviari. Guests were greeted with a personal note from Kaviari’s founder, Karin Nebot and enjoyed rare caviar pairings in a members-only setting. To mark the occasion, exclusive JAI x Kaviari caviar tins were revealed, a playful nod to the shared passion for craftsmanship and collaboration.
