A great last evening in Thailand before taking off back to Europe: Restaurant Resonance (3. December 2024)
Given I’ve only had a few hours in Bangkok, I wanted to find a nice place for dinner before take off back to Europe, and given all the places I wanted to dine at in the first place (to complete a few more on “The World’s 50 Best”) were not open that day, I kept […]
A lunch place with a lovely view onto a fish pond: Restaurant Jampoon @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (1. December 2024)
I somehow didn’t manage to make it on time for the breakfast, so, I was looking for a restaurant where you could get something to eat at noon, and there is only one option, the Jampoon, so, the same restaurant you have breakfast in. I went for the “Yum Pak Gud (local green wild fern […]
A lovely view during sunset right onto the bay: Chomtawan Bar @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (30. November 2024)
If you’re looking for a lovely place to enjoy a drink during sunset, then the Chomtawan Bar in the Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is definitely the place to do that. I went for the “Watermelon Bubble (Gin, PB Licci Schnapps, Rose Syrup, lemon juice, tonic)” (475 THB), which sounded more promising than it actually […]
An absolutely lovely breakfast option: Restaurant Jampoon @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (30. November 2024)
The breakfast selection at the Jampoon is quite decent – the Ritz-Carlton ensures that you get a little bit of everything. That starts with a selection of sweet treats, a few salads … … as well as quite a few pastries you can pick from … … fresh honey from the honey comb as well […]
A nice final stop before flying out back into the cold: Restaurant Plu (15. January 2024)
The Plu was listed in the Guide Michelin app, and given I have had a few experiences on Koh Samui, which turned out to be a bit disappointing, I didn’t have high expectations. Since I had walked there, and it was located in a back alley, I was expecting even less, to then be positively […]
Remaining a true gem for absolutely lovely cocktails: The Bar @ The House on Sathorn @ W Bangkok (15. January 2024)
Despite the fact that I had been here 10 days ago, I decided to give this place another try, since it’s perfectly located if you stay in the W Bangkok, and it’s just so atmospheric. I went for the “Italian Symphony (rose, lychee, salt, citrus, London Essence white peach & jasmine soda)” (280 THB), which […]
The perfect place to have a pitstop when visiting Thailand’s former capital: Restaurant View Wat Ayutthaya (15. January 2024)
If you have a bit of time, I would highly recommend you to visit Ayutthaya, the old capital of Thailand, which is about a one-hour drive from Bangkok. Definitely worth doing so. There are a lot of temples, and they are quite impressive, and the summer palace of the royal family is equally impressive. So, […]
Perfect for a brief noodle soup stop before take off: Restaurant Khao Hom (14. January 2024)
Given I was quite hungry before take off, I figured a bowl of “Thai Noodles” (180 THB) wouldn’t harm, and they didn’t. I mean, the bowl pretty much was what the picture on the menu had promised, and frankly, it was good. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quite helpful all in all. So, if […]
