Stories unfold in layers of ink, flavour, and movement at Sole Mio Boutique Hotel & Wellness this August. As Volume 6 of the Soul & Sole Sunset Journeys, Sunset Print Stories brings together cultural craft and culinary experience in a rooftop setting where traditional Thai printmaking meets modern flavour, all set to the backdrop of a Bangtao sunset.
Aligned with the spirit of the Thailand Biennale Phuket 2025, this event continues Sole Mio Boutique Hotel & Wellness’s commitment to celebrating art and creativity in everyday experiences, where ink becomes story, and every rooftop evening becomes a living gallery.
As the only hotel in the Bangtao Beach area offering a lifestyle wellness concept, Sole Mio Boutique Hotel & Wellness includes daily benefits with every Wellness Deluxe Room, such as one breakfast, one group class, and full access to spa and recovery facilities. It’s a stay designed for balance, energy, and choice.
Sole & Soul Sunset Journeys: Volume #6 – Sunset Print Stories
Guests are invited to experience an evening of printmaking, painting, mindful rituals, and culinary connection, featuring:
- Van Gogh Sunset painting class: Inspired by the expressive brushwork of Vincent van Gogh, this guided rooftop session invites guests to create vivid, swirling sunset scenes using bold colour and texture. Van Gogh’s post-impressionist style is known for its movement, emotion, and thick layered strokes, perfectly suited to capturing the golden light over Bangtao. This relaxed, social art experience welcomes all skill levels.
- Tartare-making session: Watch Sole Mio’s chefs prepare fresh tartare dishes featuring salmon, tuna, and beef. Guests are welcome to observe or participate as they learn seasonal plating and flavour techniques in a fun and interactive setting.
- Signature cocktail experience: Sip and explore at the bar as rooftop bartenders present a tasting session of seasonal signature cocktails, each shaken live with bold ingredients and creative flair.
Special Giveaway: A day pass for two with rooftop dining
To celebrate the evening, three lucky guests will receive a day pass for two, which includes access to the pool, gym, and spa complex (sauna, steam, and ice room), along with a 2,000 baht dining voucher at the 7th Floor Restaurant.

Sunset muse & art experiences
Throughout the evening, guests will experience the vibrant storytelling of Monthian Yangthong, a Phuket-based artist celebrated for his mastery of traditional Thai woodblock and linocut printmaking. His works, rich in symbolism and layered through multi-block carving techniques, explore themes of identity, heritage, and daily life with bold visual rhythm.
A casual artist talk will reveal his process, from sketch to carving to print, offering a rare glimpse into one of Thailand’s most expressive traditional art forms.
Monthian’s original works will also be on display in the hotel lobby during the Sole & Soul Monthly Art Exhibition, from August 16 to September 15, 2025. You can explore more of Monthian’s work, or connect with him directly via the following channels:
