The World’s 50 Best Bars – No. 19 to be found in Bangkok: Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar (7. January 2023)
The Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar is among The World’s 50 Best Bars, and I was curious to experience what it has to offer. And frankly, it is not in a place you’d just walk in since it’s located on the second floor of a restaurant (which is rated quite well as well), but it is worth […]
A lovely restaurant, but somehow still not feeling it: Restaurant Ruen Noppagao (7. January 2024)
The Ruen Noppagao is in walking distance of the W Bangkok, but a bit hidden in a side street, hence, it is a place I would probably not have encountered if the hotel hadn’t recommended it to me. But, I must say, it was a good recommendation. There was a little welcome bite once you […]
A truly mind-blowing sensory experience with music pairing in The World’s 50 Best No. 17: Restaurant Gaggan Anand (6. January 2024)
Visiting Gaggan Anand has been on my to do list since December 2018. Back then, I tried to get a table at ‘Gaggan’ when in Bangkok, but it turned out to be impossible. Well, to be fair, I get why. If he was only close to what he offers today, then it’s no surprise that […]
A truly disappointing ‘rooftop’ bar experience: Rainforest Rooftop Bar (6. January 2024)
The search for a rooftop bar continued – and failed. The Rainforest rooftop bar belongs in the category of ‘false advertising’. I mean, frankly, the place doesn’t have anything to do with a rainforest (besides like two kind of small trees being there) and it is on the 7th floor, so one can barely call […]
A whole experience catered around the love story of a Mexican and an Indian: Restaurant Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh (5. January 2024)
The Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh is the second restaurant of Gaggan Anand and is located right on top of his awarded restaurant ‘Gaggan Anand’. The place is quite different from his downstairs place, but more about that the next day. The Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh is a mixture of Mexican and Indian flavours […]
A place to see the sunset in Bangkok – and to have a look at the Eye of Sauron: Brewski Rooftop Bar @ Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok (5. January 2024)
Finding a place, which is kind of decent, in terms of atmosphere and view, plus offers good drinks, is actually not as easy and straightforward as you might think, so it took a while to find the Brewski Rooftop Bar on top of the Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok, but if you manage to find that […]
When the online review is much better than reality: Hair of the Dog Phrom Phong (5. January 2024)
Sometimes a place is super well rated on Google, but then, when you end up there, you wonder why. I mean, sure, they have about 120 different beers, but given that they have only one local brand, is a bit disappointing really. In any case, as nice as the beer selection is, as disappointing is […]
A hidden gem of peace and quiet in a buzzing city: The Bar @ The House on Sathorn @ W Bangkok (5. January 2024)
Despite having stayed at the W Bangkok before, I didn’t have a chance to try the options at The House on Sathorn, so it was time to do so. The Bar, which is located in The House on Sathron is actually a super lovely place in the midst of a busy city. The “Bael Gimlet […]
