สวัสดีsawadee kha , Loy Krathong is a fascinating and enchanting festival that takes place annually in Thailand. Exciting that 8 Kia Peng Suites was having Loy Krathong celebration!
It is a time when people come together to celebrate the beauty and power of the natural world, paying tribute to the rivers, lakes and oceans that are such an important part of Thai life.
The festival takes place on the full moon night in the twelfth lunar month, which usually falls in November.
On this night, people throughout the country gather together to light candles and float small, decorated baskets which are called "krathongs" down the rivers and waterways.
These krathongs are traditionally made from the cut-off outer layer of a banana tree trunk or a spider lily plant, and decorated with flowers, candles, and incense sticks. They are then released onto the water in order to ask for forgiveness and good luck.
In addition to the krathongs, the festival also features a range of other activities designed to honor the waters.
Mouse mommy and family having a fun-filled activities and Thai foods throughout the night! The kids MR and MH were also get to explore and experience the Loy Krathong’s activities and the meaning of the festival.
All of the hotel guests also got the opportunity to feast popular and delicious Thai desserts.
1. Miang kham is a snack food that originated in the northern part of Thailand, originally using pickled tea leaves.
Each wrap is filled with an array of Thai flavors—hot, sour, salty, and sweet all take a turn. Ginger and chilies bring the heat, lime adds tartness, dried shrimp gives each bite a burst of salinity, and coconut and peanuts contribute sweet nuttiness.
2. Luk chup: Luk chup is a sweet and colorful dessert made from mung bean paste, sugar, and food coloring. The paste is molded into small shapes like fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
3. Mango sticky rice: Mango sticky rice is a beloved Thai dessert made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and sugar. The rice is then served with freshly sliced mangoes, creating a perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and tangy flavors.
A blessing fun-filled Loy Krathong Festival at 8 Kia Peng Suites for all!

In an effort to bring Starbucks coffee moments
into the daily lives of Malaysians, Starbucks Ready-to-Drink (RTD) range
launches nationwide.
Starbucks RTD debut in Malaysia includes two of
the most iconic Starbucks ranges: Starbucks® Frappuccino®, a perfectly blended
coffee with creamy milk and just the right amount of sweetness, as well as
Starbucks® Doubleshot™, a classic ritual with recognized and loved signature
blends that fit seamlessly with the need to “power up” through the hectic daily
routine.
Starbucks® Frappuccino® (280 ml) is available in Coffee, and Mocha
flavours, while Starbucks® Doubleshot™ (220 ml) comes in Mocha and Espresso
Latte varieties.
The new Starbucks RTD range is the result of a collaboration
between Nestlé and Starbucks announced in 2021 whereby Nestlé will commercialize
and develop the Starbucks RTD coffee beverages in a number of countries across Southeast
Asia, Oceania and Latin America, leveraging Nestlé’s local footprint and
execution capabilities in these regions.
This marks a further important
milestone in the Global Coffee Alliance between Starbucks and Nestlé created in
2018 to unlock opportunities, elevating the coffee experience and enabling a
new chapter of growth for the two iconic companies.
To celebrate this special occasion, Nestlé
Malaysia held a fashion show featuring Starbucks-inspired designs by students
from De Institute of Creative Arts & Design, UCSI University, styled by
popular local influencers.
Specially curated for the event, the fashion pieces
reflect the daily lives of Malaysians – from the street to the office, relaxing
at home or on-the-go – highlighting how Starbucks RTD fits into every moment.
“Both our Starbucks® Doubleshot™ and Starbucks®
Frappuccino® are Halal-certified, providing Malaysians with the peace of mind
to enjoy these iconic beverages, whenever and wherever they wish,” said Mr Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé Malaysia
& Singapore. “Moreover, tapping into the fast-growing Ready-to-Drink
category in Malaysia, these tailored and innovative offerings will appeal to
our dynamic Malaysian youth, who are looking for the convenience of a great
coffee experience while on-the-go. We will continue to develop a strong
innovation pipeline to create new stimulating coffee moments for great indulgence
and enjoyment”, added Aranols.
The Starbucks RTD coffee range will be available
across hypermarkets and supermarkets, convenience stores, petromarts, as well
as e-commerce platforms like Lazada and Shopee. The products will also be
offered in Singapore at selected retailers and e-commerce platforms.
Since forming the Global Coffee Alliance in
2018, Nestlé and Starbucks have introduced a wide range of premium coffee
products to new markets at a fast pace – including whole beans coffee, roast
and ground coffee, soluble coffee and coffee mixes, as well as the Starbucks
capsules for use in Nespresso and Nescafé Dolce Gusto proprietary systems.
Today, Nestlé distributes Starbucks packaged coffee products across more than
80 countries outside Starbucks retail stores under the Global Coffee Alliance.
