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 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, […]
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 […]
