I had a recent stay at the Grand Hyatt Erawan due to a conference my company was hosting at the hotel.  The Erawan, as it’s known locally (for the Erawan Shrine located onsite) is centrally located at the Ratchaprasong intersection on two BTS lines – both Chit Lom and Ratchadamri BTS stations offer quick access [...]

In my previous stays at the JW Marriott Bangkok,  I had never tried the fare at the New York Steakhouse.  I found a meeting with a client offered the perfect opportunity to try it.  One thing is for certain – you pay New York prices, but a better steak in Thailand will be hard to [...]

My long overdue stay at the Marriott Executive Apartments Sukhumvit Park finally happened and I’ve finally got some time to post a review.   The Sukhumvit Park Marriott MEA is located down into Soi 24 – about a 12-15 minute walk to the Phrom Phong BTS station or Emporium shopping center. While the hotel provides a [...]

I had a nice lunch with a colleague  at the Kuu Japanese restaurant at Central World Plaza.   It was a bit dark inside but from our table we were able to watch the chefs at work because of the partially open kitchen.  The service was OK by Bangkok standards – by that I mean the [...]

Visited Kuppadeli in the Asoke Towers building for a quick breakfast.  It reminds me a bit of the Dean and Deluca I visited a while back.  I was the only one in the place around 9am.  Service and food were OK and a decent value at 180 baht.               [...]

Had some business in the area around Ruamrudee and Wireless road and ducked into this place for a quick lunch on the recommendation of a friend.  Apparently this place is a hip hangout for the after work crowd in this diplomat littered area of Bangkok Chose a table inside for the air conditioning of course, although [...]

Located corner of Narathiwas & Ratchada in Bankok is Anna & Charlie’s Cafe’  (formally Anna’s Cafe) where I decided to have a bit of lunch after spending the day at the Rattanakosin museum (post coming soon) .  The service as well as the food was good and the prices were decent.   We ordered the chicken curry, [...]

Hanrahans Irish Pub is located in the infamous nightlife area on Sukhumvit Soi 4, just around the corner from the JW Marriott and Landmark hotels.  Most people would hit this place up for some quality ales and to watch some soccer or rugby matches.  I was on a different mission – breakfast. One of my [...]

I’ve written about the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong before, and I had another great stay at the property.  This time I had a corner room, which is slightly larger than the standard rooms.  Once again I found the location of this hotel to be unbeatable – a least for the location of one of my customers [...]

Laying just outside the Surasak BTS station in Bangkok is the Blue Elephant restaurant and cooking school, specializing in Ancient Thai cooking and Indian cuisine.   There are quite a few branches of this restaurant located around the world – including locations in Bangkok of course,  Phuket, London, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Lyon, Dubai, Bahrain, Malta, Beirut, [...]
