Courtyard Phuket Town by Mariott

‘A fabulous cause for celebration’ is not a marketing tagline per-se, but it works here. PHAB’s annual benefit gala dinner, hosted by the Phuket Hotels Association, raises funds to provide multi-year hospitality and tourism scholarships exclusively for young, underprivileged Phuketians. And this year, the ball is themed on infinity to symbolise the profound impact educational support for the local community comes with. So feel free to splash out. The reward is a five-star culinary affair with 20 top hotels and their rock star chefs, plus signature tipples and magical potions concocted by expert mixologists. Joking aside, Dating Blondes play anything from retro dance to modern chart-toppers to turn dinner into a dance floor. The dress code? Cocktail to formal attire cuts it. Actually, you’re encouraged to interpret the infinity theme creatively. Fab. May 16. From B4,900. PHAB 8 Gala Dinner, Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town. 6.30pm-11.30pm
