Bangkok, Thailand — MJets, a pioneer in bespoke private aviation, continues to redefine luxury travel by seamlessly merging premium air journeys with refined lifestyle experiences. In its latest endeavor, the brand proudly presents an exclusive in-flight dining concept, “ODE TO CULINARY JOURNEY." This exquisite gastronomic experience is the brainchild of Chef Pam Pichaya Soontornyanakij, one of Thailand’s most celebrated culinary talents. Honored as World’s Best Female Chef 2025, Asia’s Best Female Chef 2024, and recipient of both a Michelin Star alongside Opening of the Year by the Michelin Guide in the same year. She also holds the rare distinction of being the only Thai female chef awarded the “3 knives" title by the World Best Chef Awards, among numerous other international accolades.
Curated with deep personal meaning, the menu artfully captures Chef Pam’s lifelong journey through flavors, memories, and cultures — thoughtfully expressed via the finest ingredients and masterful culinary techniques. The collaboration stems from MJet’s unwavering vision to elevate every facet of travel, with a special emphasis on gastronomy as a narrative art form — one that reflects the brand’s spirit and leaves a lasting impression on every journey. This new menu will be available to passengers commencing 1 June 2025 onwards.
Chayanin Sukkhasantikul, Chief Commercial Officer of MJets, shared, “At MJets, we are committed to being more than just a provider of private aviation services. Our mission is to curate thoughtfully crafted, elevated experiences that enrich every aspect of our passengers’ journeys. We believe that food is a powerful expression of a brand— capable of leaving a lasting and meaningful impression. It is a true privilege for us to collaborate with Chef Pam Pichaya Soontornyanakij, an internationally acclaimed Thai chef whose visionary approach to cuisine seamlessly weaves together flavors and memories. Her cooking philosophy also beautifully aligns with the values we uphold at MJets. The ‘ODE TO CULINARY JOURNEY’ menu is far more than an in-flight meal, but a story told through taste — a bespoke, artfully refined experience designed to inspire our passengers, and available exclusively aboard MJets flights."
Chef Pam Pichaya Soontornyanakij, founder of POTONG, remarked, “To me, ‘ODE TO CULINARY JOURNEY’ embodies the belief that food is a universal language — one that transcends borders, tells stories, evokes emotions, and forges lasting memories. Whether in moments of joyous celebration or quiet contemplation mid-journey, food holds a remarkable power to connect people from diverse backgrounds in the most meaningful way. This collaboration with MJets has been a truly special opportunity for me to translate the inspirations gathered from my travels and life experiences into a menu crafted with depth, precision, and an emotional cadence with every bite. I hope that these thoughtfully designed dishes will not only delight the palate but also enrich each passenger’s journey with a memorable and heartfelt connection through flavor."
