With Halloween fast approaching, here are some of spook-tacular celebrations taking place at hotels in Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Pattaya. From a frightfully indulgent dinner buffet in Chiang Mai to an open-air screening of Scream high above Bangkok and a beachfront masquerade pool party in Pattaya, there’s something a little different happening at each hotel.
Meliá Chiang Mai Serves Up ‘Frightfully Delectable’ Halloween Feast
Things are getting deliciously spooky at Meliá Chiang Mai this Halloween, with the hotel’s Laan Na Kitchen restaurant conjuring up a frightfully indulgent dinner buffet on October 31, 2026. From 6pm to 10pm, guests will sink their teeth into a lavish spread of international favourites, northern Thai-inspired specialties and devilishly creative desserts. Highlights include slow-cooked picanha beef, black pepper beef tenderloin, duck à l’orange, baked salmon with a northern Thai nam prik ong crust, and turkey khao soi prepared at a live cooking station. Sushi, sashimi and a bubbling “Witches’ Brew” mushroom velouté add to the feast. The real Halloween magic awaits at the dessert station, brimming with the likes of dark chocolate “graveyard cake with chocolate soil and cookie tombstones”, red velvet “blood” cake with raspberry coulis, chocolate mousse “coffins” and lychee “eyeball” panna cotta. Priced at THB 1,099 (USD 32.70) net per person, the buffet is available for THB 999 net per person (USD 29.70) with an early booking made at least one week ahead and a non-refundable deposit.

Before or after the event, guests can also make a night of it with dinner at the hotel’s 33rd-floor LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar, where Spanish chef de cuisine Juan Ignacio Garcia Racionero, known as Chef Nacho, takes diners on a culinary pilgrimage of Spain.
