Corporate events require great attention to detail and must cater to guests of all ages—especially when it comes to food, as everyone has different needs, such as food allergies, vegetarian preferences, and more.
If you are looking for suitable menus for corporate functions such as New Year parties, retirement farewells, success celebrations, company outings, or training sessions, Kalanan Riverside Resort offers spaces and venues that can accommodate events of all sizes and formats. Below are key recommendations to help ensure a memorable and satisfying experience for all attendees.
1.New Year Party
A New Year party is all about fun, excitement, and celebration. Food and beverages should be plentiful so guests can fully enjoy the night.
Recommended Food
- International buffet for variety and interest. Include Western dishes such as pasta, sliced steak, and canapés, along with Japanese options like sushi and sashimi.
- Don’t forget Thai food, as it is familiar and well-loved by most guests and works well both at the start of the party and during the after-party.
- Buffet stations should be arranged efficiently to avoid long queues.
Food Quantity
- Provide generous portions with flexible self-service. Since the event often includes activities such as games, executive speeches, raffles, and dancing, food should be available throughout the night.
Beverages
- Free-flow beverages during the event. If alcohol is served, in addition to whisky and beer, consider wine, sparkling wine, or cocktails.
- Be sure to include non-alcoholic options such as mocktails and fruit juices for guests who do not drink alcohol.
Event Setup
- A garden party with decorative lighting and cool December weather creates a beautiful photo-friendly atmosphere.
- Kalanan Riverside Resort’s Saranrom Garden can host up to 400 guests in a luxurious and private outdoor setting.
- For indoor events, the elegant and spacious Yen Ner Run room is an excellent alternative.
2.Retirement Farewell Party
The essence of a retirement party is to honor senior employees. The atmosphere should be warm and welcoming, with well-organized seating for comfortable conversations.
Recommended Food
- Thai set menus or Chinese-style table dining, such as steamed fish, fish maw soup, fried rice, stir-fried noodles, and soups—suitable for a full sit-down meal.
- End with traditional Thai desserts like bua loi, mango sticky rice, or sago pudding.
Food Quantity
- Serve appropriate portions. As this event focuses on seated conversation and senior guests, excessive food is unnecessary compared to more dynamic parties.
Beverages
- Classic drinks such as brandy or wine suit the reflective atmosphere.
- Offer healthy Thai herbal drinks for non-alcoholic options, such as chrysanthemum tea, bael fruit juice, or roselle juice.
Event Setup
- Round tables encourage inclusive conversation.
- Provide a stage area for speeches by executives or senior staff.
- Use warm lighting and soft background music.
- Kalanan Riverside Resort offers the Ultimate Party Package, including karaoke equipment—perfect for nostalgic songs.
- Recommended venues include Fahprapha Restaurant (riverside ambiance) or Samranrath room, surrounded by lush gardens and ideal for a calm, respectful farewell.
3.Success Celebration Party
When a company achieves major milestones or exceeds targets, a celebration boosts morale and motivation. A riverside hotel offers a refreshing change of scenery and flexible event styling.
Recommended Food
- Cocktail-style food or canapés, such as shrimp cocktail, fruit salad, pasta, mini sandwiches, and skewers.
- Light food suits the lively and stylish atmosphere.
Food Quantity
- Bite-sized portions that are easy to pick up, as guests will be mingling, chatting, and taking photos.
Beverages
- Free-flow drinks, with a signature cocktail to add a special touch.
- Include classic options like wine and beer, as well as mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
Event Setup
- Garden or indoor venues both work well. A cocktail-style setup best matches the celebratory mood.
- Kalanan Riverside Resort’s Kam Pa Nee room, with high ceilings and natural light, is ideal for professional business gatherings.
4.Company Outing
Company outings are challenging to plan, as the venue must support activities such as games, workshops, relaxation, and even urgent work sessions—all in a resort-like setting close to Bangkok.
Recommended Food
- Buffet and BBQ formats are ideal. Choose familiar and easy-to-eat dishes such as seafood, som tam, fried rice, rice porridge, and fresh fruit.
Food Quantity
- Provide ample food with frequent refills. As employees finish activities at different times, multiple buffet stations help reduce waiting times.
Beverages
- Refreshing drinks like chilled soft drinks.
- In the evening, a small amount of beer can be offered for relaxation after a full day of activities.
Event Setup
- Choose a hotel with both indoor and outdoor facilities.
- Kalanan Riverside Resort offers riverside relaxation areas, cooking or flower-arranging workshops, organic garden harvesting activities, and private meeting rooms such as Siam Recorder Room.
- End the day with a dinner party at Saranrom Garden, Fahprapha Restaurant, or one of the resort’s uniquely designed banquet halls.
5.Training or Staff Seminar
Training events aim to maintain focus and concentration. Food should be light and energizing.
Recommended Food
- Break snacks, such as snack boxes with sandwiches, croissants, cakes, and fruit juice.
- Lunch can be light meal boxes featuring Thai, Western, or Japanese cuisine.
Food Quantity
- Serve moderate portions to avoid heaviness and drowsiness.
- Smaller portions replenished regularly are preferable.
Beverages
- Energizing drinks such as tea and coffee (Americano, latte, cappuccino), with multiple coffee options.
- Include non-caffeinated choices like lemon-infused water, pandan juice, orange juice, or butterfly pea drink.
Event Setup
