On the 29th of January 2020, a luxurious yet eco-friendly hotel, 137 Pillars Suites and Residences Bangkok hosted a press conference for 137 Pillars Organic Gourmet Festival (POGF), an event promoting the sustainable gastronomical culture.

Set in the Sukhumvit-Thonglor area, 137 Pillars Suites and Residences Bangkok aims to merge Thai design and urbanism together to give their guest the luxuriousness and local identity to the fullest, not just only for staying over but also delicacy & beverages.
Sustainability is also the topic that this hotel & residence chain also endorses and advocates which influence the design of their accommodations but that’s not it, they want to do more so they started POGF.
