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, [...]

Despite my initial travel disruptions, I arrived in Bangkok about 11:30pm.  After a short wait in immigration, I was on my way to the JW Marriott, a hotel I have stayed in may times.  As usual at this hotel, service was impeccable, check in was swift and I was in my room in a few [...]

Due to some last minute travel to the west coast I had to make some changes to my travel plans  in order to make my commitments in Bangkok.  I was going to have to fly out of San Francisco instead of New York.  You can imagine my disappointment with having to use British Airways OneWorld [...]

I’ve got some business in Bangkok scheduled in September and have reservations at the JW Marriott,  Marriott Executive Apartments Sukhumvit and the Hyatt Erawan.  I intend to have some up to date reviews of these properties as well as a write up on British Airways business class into Bangkok.  I’m also interested to see the [...]
