Set to open in the third quarter of 2025, lebua’s upcoming boutique luxury property in Udaipur marks the brand’s return to India and a significant step in its continued expansion within the country’s high-end hospitality sector.
Located in the heart of Udaipur, the hotel will feature 49 elegantly designed rooms, a signature restaurant, a stylish lounge, an intimate bar, spa and wellness facilities, and dedicated venues for events and weddings.
Cherrapunji Gin, distilled in Meghalaya, is the first spirit from Northeast India to reach international markets—now available in Thailand, brought in by Inspirador Crafted Spirits.
Produced in small batches and distilled with rainwater collected from Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, the gin combines eleven native botanicals such as Khasi mandarin, Sohmarit pepper, Kaji Nemu lemon, smoked black cardamom, and pine-smoked tea. The result is a clean, complex flavour that captures the character of its origin.
Let the good times be-gin! Ginventure 2025, organised by Vikram Arunagiri and the team at Gulp BKK, returns on 22 November 2025 at The Sukhothai Bangkok Hotel, from 12 PM to 8 PM, bringing together sunshine, music, and endless good vibes.
This lively celebration of gin invites enthusiasts and the gin-curious to sip, savour, and explore the best of craft distilleries, inventive cocktails, and immersive tastings. Expect a vibrant mix of local bars and international brands, creative experiences, and live entertainment that keep the spirit flowing.
With shimmering boho body art, the day promises picture-perfect festival energy and unforgettable moments.
