UNICEF Blue Star Gala | Corporate Gala Dinner at The Athenee Hotel Bangkok

About This Corporate Event
On Friday 6 March 2026, business leaders, public figures, philanthropists and Michelin-starred chefs gathered at The Athenee Hotel Bangkok for the UNICEF Blue Star Gala 2026 — a charitable evening dedicated to tackling child malnutrition in Thailand and overseas.
The gala was co-hosted by four of Thailand’s most influential women: Nualphan Lamsam, UNICEF Thailand National Ambassador; Busadee Chearavanont; Marisa Chearavanont; and Thapanee Techachareonvikul. The opening address was delivered by Anand Panyarachun — UNICEF Thailand Goodwill Ambassador for more than 30 years — followed by a powerful keynote from Nualphan Lamsam on malnutrition’s devastating impact on children and Thailand’s long-term development.
Eight chefs holding a combined 12 Michelin stars created a one-night-only menu celebrating healthy, nutritious food. From Thailand: Chudaree Debhakam (Baan Tepa), Chumpol Jangprai (R-Haan), Napol Jantraget and Saki Hoshino (Kwann / Nawa Thai Cuisine), Prin Polsuk (Samrub Samrub Thai), and Sachin Poojary (INDDEE). Joining them from overseas: Shinobu Namae of L’Effervescence (Japan) and Cho Hee-sook of Hansikgonggan (South Korea).
The cause is urgent. In Thailand, one in eight children is stunted due to poor nutrition. Globally, an estimated 150 million children are stunted, and nearly five million children die each year from malnutrition-related causes. Proceeds support UNICEF’s KinRaiDee #HungryForHope campaign — promoting better nutrition, supporting parents, and securing funds for children facing malnutrition in Thailand and emergency situations worldwide. UNICEF is also working with the Royal Thai Government to strengthen nutrition policy, including tighter regulations on the marketing of unhealthy food to children.
UNICEF Thailand Representative Ken Legins closed the evening with appreciation for the guests, partners, chefs and donors whose time, talent and contributions made the gala possible.
