We are most happy to invite you to join The 40 th Grand Chapitre of Chaine des Rotisseurs, Bangkok, Thailand on 21 st – 23 rd of March, 2014 The Chaine des Rotisseurs is the oldest and most prestigious international gastronomic society devoted to the promotion of fine dining and all the pleasures of the table. In Thailand we comprise a cosmopolitan group of enthusiastic amateur gastronomes and working professionals who enjoy good food and wine in each other’s company. At the crossroads between East and West, Thailand has a multifaceted culinary life and we are certainly blessed to be able to tap into these endless opportunities. The Thailand Chapter was established as the 69th Chapter of the Chaine in 1974 and has been an important part of an increasingly sophisticated and diverse culinary scene. The inaugural Gala Dinner was at the then Hilton Hotel on Silom Rd ., Bangkok. It was organised by the experienced Chef Werner Meister. Thirty - four members and Committee members were installed. Rear Admiral M.L. Usni Pramoj, was elected as the first Bailli Delegue of the society. At that time most of the members were professional members (hoteliers), who transferred their membership from other countries to the newly established Chapter in Thailand. Others were dignitaries and distinguished businessmen from Thai and foreign companies. The Bailliage of Thailand is honoured that several members of the Thai Royal Family have joined the Chaine and were our most prestigious members. Over the years a considerable number of Ambassadors from various countries from all over the world have also joined our dinners and eventually became members. The Chaine in Thailand was very lucky as in all these years we have had a succession of talented and energetic Bailli Delegues: Rear Admiral M.L. Usni Pramoj , Mr. Robert Baruir Papazian , Khun Pinit Sombatsiri , Khun Pongthep Leenutapong , Mr. Warren Gerig and Khun Joe Thawilvejjakul . There has always been keen interest from potential members to join the Chaine in Thailand, and over the years the Chapter has maintained a very healthy average of around 100 members. Today we are a cosmopolitan group of enthusiastic Ambassadors, amateur gastronomes and working professionals who enjoy good food and wine in each other’s company. Many celebrated dinner events have been held including an overnight trip to the Bridge over the River Kwai using the Eastern & Oriental Express train, which was chartered by the Chaine, a Captain’s Dinner on the Seabourne Spirit, a luxury liner, and memorable events at Ambassador’s residences, at member’s private homes, elegant restaurants and at many famous hotels. And apart from the National Chapter in Bangkok there are also two Regional Chapters in Thailand. The Chapter in Pattaya was established in 1995 and the Phuket Chapter in 2003. 4
