NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nobu Bangkok together with Thailand’s leading integrated lifestyle real-estate group Asset World Corporation (AWC), celebrated its grand opening with a sake ceremony, symbolizing good fortune and the beginning of this exciting new chapter. Located on the 57th and 58th floors and rooftop of The Empire at the heart of Bangkok’s CBD, Nobu Bangkok delivers an extraordinary dining experience, blending the luxurious aesthetics of Thai and Japanese design. Conceptualized by the world-renowned Rockwell Group, the restaurant’s design incorporates intricate carvings and golden hues inspired by Thai temples, juxtaposed with the minimalist elegance of Japanese design, creating a truly unique culinary setting

In an ongoing collaboration with Asset World Corporation, luxury lifestyle brand Nobu Hospitality is proud to announce its first service residential project in Thailand—Nobu Residences Bangkok. This exciting development follows the announcements of Nobu Hotel Bangkok and The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok, as well as the official opening of Nobu Bangkok at The Empire. Together, these ventures reinforce Nobu’s expanding presence in the city. Nobu Residences Bangkok will feature 60 exclusive units, available as part of the hotel’s inventory, rather than for individual sale.

Strategically located near the Chao Phraya River, Nobu Residences Bangkok offers unparalleled access to the best the city has to offer. Available for both short and long-term stays, residents will enjoy world-class amenities, including 24/7 concierge service. Residents can also access the hotel’s premium facilities, such as the Nobu Restaurant, a rooftop bar lounge boasting panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an exclusive residents’ lounge. The residences are designed with Nobu’s signature attention to detail, blending purposeful design with elevated living.

Adding to the significance of the day, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok at its future location, the East Asiatic Heritage Site. This iconic development will be situated in the historic East Asiatic Company (EAC) building, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The building, dating back to 1884, was founded by Danish mariner and entrepreneur Captain Hans Niels Andersen. The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok will be twinned with the Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel & Spa New York, which is currently undergoing renovations to its 145 rooms. Located on 64th Street and Park Avenue in the Upper East Side, New York, this area is renowned for its proximity to Central Park, museums, consulates, and luxury shopping.

Wallapa Traisorat, CEO and President of Asset World Corporation (AWC) commented, “We really appreciate the friendship and partnership we share with the Nobu family and AWC.  The celebration of the grand opening of Nobu Bangkok at ‘EA’ Rooftop at The Empire, the new landmark destination of Thailand, brings great happiness to both Thai and international guests to enjoy contemporary Japanese cuisine crafted by legendary Chef Nobu in a spectacular three-story venue, including the rooftop level with breathtaking views of Bangkok. It reinforces our commitment to making Bangkok a sustainable global destination for world-class food, beverage, and lifestyle experiences.

Additionally, AWC is thrilled to deepen our long-term partnership with Nobu Hospitality through the launch of Nobu Hotel Bangkok, the first Nobu hotel with a residential concept in Thailand. Located near the Chao Phraya River, this development offers guests unparalleled luxury, featuring world-class amenities and services. The groundbreaking ceremony for The Plaza Athénée Nobu Hotel and Spa Bangkok at the historic East Asiatic Company building also marks a momentous occasion in our shared journey to create iconic properties that redefine luxury living and enhance Bangkok’s reputation as a premier global destination.”

Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, commented, “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Asset World Corporation and introduce Nobu Residences to Bangkok. With its prime location near the Chao Phraya River, this development offers residents an exceptional lifestyle experience in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. We are excited to operate all elements of the Nobu brand—residences, hotels, and restaurants—in this vibrant market.”

SHANGHAI, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) opened on November 5, welcoming nearly 3,500 exhibitors from 129 countries and regions. UnionPay International (UPI), a longstanding partner of CIIE, showcased its commitment to facilitating global trade by delivering cutting-edge, secure, and convenient payment solutions for exhibitors, buyers, and visitors.

Enhancing Payment Experiences for Global Participants

During this year’s CIIE, UPI unveiled its latest payment innovations, including the UnionPay SplendorPlus Card and the CIIE-themed Card, at the Bank of China (BOC) Shanghai Pavilion. These products attracted significant attention from domestic and international attendees, emphasizing seamless and tailored payment experiences for cross-border transactions.

As part of its broader “Project Excellence 2024”, launched earlier this year, UPI introduced the SplendorPlus Card, specifically designed for inbound international travelers. This versatile card supports multiple payment methods—physical card, QR code, and mobile payments—and offers exclusive benefits such as cashback and localized privileges across five key categories, including transportation, cultural attractions, and dining. With nearly 40 financial institutions worldwide now issuing or preparing to issue the card, UPI continues to expand its reach, enhancing connectivity between China and the global market.

Meeting Evolving Cross-border Payment Needs

UPI’s payment ecosystem has grown significantly in recent years, driven by technological innovation and an understanding of diverse global consumer preferences. To date, more than 250 million UnionPay cards have been issued in 83 countries and regions. Cardholders can access comprehensive payment services within China, including dining, retail, hotel bookings, and transportation, such as Shanghai metro ticketing and taxi services.

In addition, UPI has partnered with over 200 e-wallet providers in 36 countries and regions, enabling international users to link UnionPay cards or apply for digital cards for contactless and mobile payments, mirroring the convenience enjoyed by local residents.

To further support domestic exhibitors and buyers traveling abroad, UPI has launched a CIIE-themed card in collaboration with BOC Shanghai. This card offers domestic users a 1% cashback benefit, along with exclusive discounts at brick-and-mortar merchants in 20 countries and regions, meeting the growing demands of outbound travelers.

Driving Innovation in Cross-border Trade

Beyond enhancing payment experiences for individuals, UPI is at the forefront of driving innovation in cross-border trade. Following the State Council’s approval to establish a Silk Road E-commerce Pilot Zone in Shanghai, UPI has collaborated with key industry players to develop digital payment solutions based on cross-border electronic invoices. This initiative integrates customs declaration, invoicing, and payment settlement processes into a unified digital ecosystem, fostering transparency and efficiency in global trade.

At the Silk Road E-commerce Innovation & Development Conference, held as part of CIIE on November 7, UPI signed a memorandum of understanding with Shanghai E&P International, BoComm Shanghai, and BOC Shanghai. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in aligning Shanghai with international trade standards and promoting the adoption of electronic documentation in global commerce.

Under the guidance of regulatory authorities, UPI has pioneered standardized and compliant end-to-end solutions to address the evolving needs of cross-border e-commerce. From international airfare and hotel payments to online transactions and settlements, these solutions empower businesses to embrace digital transformation, contributing to the sustainable development of global trade.
