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 […]
A lovely rooftop bar with a strong wannabe vibe: Mai Sky Bar @ Melia Chiang Mai (21. December 2023)
As previously mentioned, it wasn’t easy to find a decent bar in Chiang Mai, but we were lucky that finally we got across the Mai Sky Bar, which is located on the 22nd floor of the Melia hotel. If you’re a hotel guest, it’s easy to get up there. If you’re not and want to […]
An overly vast, but delicious food offering with a view onto the river: The Riverside Bar & Restaurant (21. December 2023)
The Riverside Bar & Restaurant had been recommended by the hotel and had a good rating on Google, so I decided to give it a try. As a starter, which was in the end served in the end, I went for the “Tom Ka Gai (chicken and lemongrass in coconut milk soup)” (175 THB), but […]
The perfect place to enjoy a drink during sunset: Pool House @ Marriott Chiang Mai (21. December 2023)
If you are looking for a place to enjoy the sunset, the Pool House in the Marriott Chiang Mai, on the 4th floor, is quite perfect for that. The bar also has an infinity pool, which allows you to dip in and enjoy your sundown drink right there and then. I went for the “Eucalyptus […]
A gem in the making: Restaurant Ikaa bistro อี๊ก่ะ บิสโตร (20. December 2023)
Given we intended to go to a place, where we had booked a table for 7pm the evening before, but the table wasn’t ready, we ended up in another place, but didn’t regret it. The “Restaurant Ikaa bistro อี๊ก่ะ บิสโตร” has opened only recently, and that was still somewhat visible, since the inside was still […]
A somewhat lucky find offering a truly local experience: Restaurant Mr. Kai (20. December 2023)
Sometimes you’re unlucky and end up being lucky. I intended to go to a different place, but this place was overbooked, hence, it was time to find something quickly for lunch, since the walking tour started 60 minutes later. The Mr. Kai had a 4.6 on Google Maps, so, I decided to give it a […]
