The Challenge
Thai Bus Food Tour offers a unique dining experience—gourmet Thai cuisine served aboard a restored vintage bus touring the city's landmarks. The website needed to match that level of premium hospitality while serving an international audience in three languages.
Design Approach
The visual language draws from Thai heritage without feeling cliché. Gold and silver metallic gradients create a sense of luxury, while lotus motifs appear as subtle interactive elements rather than decoration. Every surface has depth—buttons cast layered shadows, cards float above backgrounds, and parallax effects create dimensional space.
Micro-interactions reward exploration. Hover over a button and watch the metallic gradient shift across its surface. Click an FAQ item and the chevron dissolves as lotus petals bloom outward in sequence. Scroll through the gallery and images reveal themselves with choreographed timing. These details accumulate into an experience that feels crafted.
