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 […]
An excellent breakfast buffet experience: Restaurant The Ping Cuisine & Bar @ Marriott Chiang Mai (20. December 2023)
As non-eventful as the lobby bar of the hotel is, as great is the breakfast selection in The Ping Cuisine & Bar in the Marriott Chiang Mai – you can find really pretty much everything you need and want. You’re greeted warmly when entering and the waitress, who leads you to your table also takes […]
A relatively disappointing hotel bar experience: Ping’s Bar @ Marriott Chiang Mai (19. December 2023)
Given it was not entirely easy to find a fitting location for drinks, we decided to have a drink at the bar in the hotel, and the “Thai Sabai (Mekhong spiced rum, lemon, Thai basil, lime juice, sugar, soda)” (350 THB) was somewhat okay. I mean, frankly, the drink is okay, but it is definitely […]
A lovely location, but you have to watch out for the mosquitos: Restaurant THE HOUSE by Ginger (19. December 2023)
Upon arrival, it was time to find a place, which offers good and tasty Thai food, hence, the Guide Michelin app was helpful again to find a Bib Gourmand place. Once seated down, we were attended by a very friendly waiter, who would take up the orders and help us out throughout the evening. We […]
A truly local Thai experience you wouldn’t normally discover as a tourist: Restaurant Savoey River View (18. December 2023)
We were lucky enough to get a truly local Thai dining experience as we have been taken around by locals and got to try a few very different dishes (which we couldn’t have ordered as the menu was entirely in Thai). The “crab curry” didn’t look too appealing, but it was actually absolutely exquisite in […]
A food market worth visiting – and where you will be full for sure: Thonburi Market Place (18. December 2023)
Apparently, the Thonburi Market Place has only opened recently, and it’s worth visiting. I mean, it’s not super central, but it is still worth the drive if you are in the city for a few days. It is basically a huge open market with a lot of different market stalls and food stalls – and […]
An absolutely authentic local Thai street food experience: Street Food Stall Guichaisapanhan (กุยช่ายสะพานหัน สาขาตลาดพลู) (18. December 2023)
For more than 8 years I order my shirts and suits from the same Thai tailor, Prince (you can find his produce under http://www.royalasiaboutique.com and he travels to Europe several times a year to take measures and do fittings). And he was so kind to take us out on a day in Bangkok – and […]
