Koh Samui, Thailand – December 1, 2025 Kimpton Kitalay Samui, the idyllic island resort nestled on Koh Samui's pristine northeast shore, will infuse its festive celebrations with the bold, edgy spirit of TAKARA WONG, the Bangkok-based fashion brand, with a cross-cultural collaboration that flows from the original Christmas tree to curated playlists-cocktails and island-inspired cuisine.

TAKARA WONG believes in an experimental philosophy. Founded with a rebellious instinct, its designs are personal yet imperfect, incorporating symbols closely linked to the musical genres of punk, metal, and skater rock. This creates an identity that is “Silently Loud” – the antithesis of high fashion and a celebration of subcultures.

Taking center stage at Kimpton Kitalay Samui is TAKARA WONG's striking Christmas Tree – an artistic installation that blends seasonal warmth with contrasting colors and textures. A softly illuminated cone is wrapped in vegan pony hair and layered with a cascading suede fringe, while ten signature eyelets pay tribute to the brand's 10th anniversary. The result is a dramatic and contemporary Thai design that will become a stunning focal point for Kimpton Kitalay Samui's festive season.

Bringing TAKARA WONG's spirit of rebellion to life, the TAKARA WONG PRIME Cocktails Playlist has been personally created by Frong Tanakorn Tubchalee, the head bartender of Bar Takara Wong. Four vibrant drinks are available, each adopting the character of a countercultural music icon, from David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop to Joan Jett. Embracing local spirits such as Chalong Bay rum and Saneha gin, plus tropical liqueurs, juices, and garnishes, these evocative cocktails are ideal to sip while soaking up the beachside vvibe at FishHouse Bar, listening to Spotify playlists, and watching the sun set over the ocean.

Fashion meets gastronomy at Kimpton Kitalay Samui this December, with a special menu. Chef Banana from FishHouse Restaurant & Bar has taken inspiration from the new TAKARA WONG PRIME swimwear collection, which is designed to reflect the rhythmic balance of island life – the waves, wind, and sunlight – to craft the Harmony of the Wild menu.

Six exquisite dishes are available, such as fresh and bright Tidal Drift Salmon and the smooth, velvety Ember-Soft Brie Bloom – an indulgent melted Brie cheese wheel. The richly comforting Autumn Heart Roulade is crafted from premium turkey with chestnut & raspberry stuffing, highlighting the timeless flavors of Christmas, while the bold yet tender Wild Harmony Lamb Shank reflects the balance between land and sea, chaos and calm. The Truffle on Truffle Fries are a playful snack or accompaniment to a main course, and the Island Pecan Soft-Baked Cookie is as sweet, warm, and textured as the sunset.

Guests can take home a piece of the TAKARA WONG PRIME collection with an exclusive satin robe, limited to just 10 specially designed pieces. These robes will be displayed and available for purchase at the Kimpton Kitalay Samui retail shop, with proceeds donated to the Dog & Cat Rescue Samui Foundation.

The Kimpton Kitalay Samui X TAKARA WONG Studios collaboration can be experienced for the whole month of December throughout the holiday season.
