Flavor of Songkran at Novotel Marina Sriracha & Koh Si Chang

As Thailand welcomes the Thai New Year with Songkran festivities, there’s no better way to experience the heart of Thai culture than through its food.

This April 13, 2025, Novotel Marina Sriracha and Novotel Koh Si Chang are inviting guests to celebrate Songkran with something truly special, the Flavor of Songkran buffet dinner with more than 30 dishes to choose from. Designed to showcase the unique flavors of Thailand’s four culinary regions, this one-night-only experience brings people together to share, savor, and celebrate.

Songkran, often seen as a time for renewal and joy, is known for its water fights, cultural rituals, and family gatherings. But food plays just as big a role in the celebration. Thai cuisine is rich with regional variation, each part of the country brings its own ingredients, techniques, and traditions to the table.

The Flavor of Songkran buffet at Food Exchange restaurant at Novotel Marina Sriracha & Koh Si Chang embraces this diversity and serves it up in one beautiful spread.

A One-Night-Only Experience

Available only on 13 April 2025, from 18.00 to 22.00 hrs., this exclusive Thai buffet will take place at Food Exchange, the hotel’s signature restaurant located on the G floor of Novotel Marina Sriracha, and at Food Exchange Koh Si Chang.

With panoramic sea views, stylish interiors, and a festive atmosphere, Food Exchange provides the perfect setting to enjoy the evening. Guests will have access to a buffet curated by experienced chefs who have crafted a menu that celebrates all corners of Thailand, North, Northeast, Central, and South.

The 4 Regions of Flavour

Northern Thai Dishes

Northern cuisine is known for its gentle heat, herbal depth, and rich, homey flavors. Expect dishes that lean on fragrant roots, dried spices, and subtle fermented notes. The use of sticky rice, fresh herbs, and slow-cooked elements makes this region’s food hearty, aromatic, and soothing, the kind of comfort food that warms you from the inside out.

Northeastern Thai Dishes (Isaan)

Isaan food is fiery and full of contrast. This region loves its spice but balances it with citrusy sourness and the crunch of fresh vegetables. The flavor here is loud, you’ll find dishes that are grilled, tossed, pounded, and bursting with personality.

Central Thai Dishes

Central Thailand is the melting pot of Thai cuisine, sweet, salty, sour, and spicy all come together in harmony. The flavors are smooth, layered, and often creamy, with just enough spice to make it interesting. This region’s cooking style is refined but approachable, making it the most familiar to many and perfect for first-time Thai food explorers.

Southern Thai Dishes

Southern Thai cuisine is bold, intense, and unapologetically spicy. It leans heavily on coconut milk, turmeric, and strong herbs to build deeply aromatic dishes. If you love heat, richness, and food that lingers on the palate long after the last bite, the southern flavours will leave a lasting impression.

The Flavor of Songkran buffet isn’t just about eating, it’s about celebrating. With the restaurant dressed in traditional Songkran-themed decor, the event is designed to reflect the vibrancy of the festival.
This is a space to bring your family, catch up with friends, and make new memories over food that tells the story of a nation.
