Na Aroon was one of the first places I had brunch at in Bangkok when I moved here back in May of 2015 and now a year and a half later a lot has changed. I’ve quit the job that I moved here for and struck out to become a full time nomad. But one… Continue reading Bangkok Restaurant Review: Na Aroon (Revisited)
Roast is simply one of my favorite brunch options in Bangkok, so to start my birthday I could think of nothing I would like to do more than celebrate with one of my dearest friends at the location in The Commons. To my delight, we were able to get a table right away! On a… Continue reading Bangkok Restaurant Review: Roast at The Commons
Did you know that the same people behind one of the best speakeasies in Bangkok Q&A Bar have yet another secret bar? Well, secret’s out. Down a nondescript alley in Ekkamai is a secret, magical, alcohol wonderland. Just as fabulous as Q&A in every way, but with a distinctly different vibe. Instead of classy, vintage railway… Continue reading Bangkok Bar Review: Sugar Ray, You’ve Just Been Poisoned
The Commons is one of them new-fangled, hip, modern “community spaces” that are just so on trend and hipstery that I WANT to not like them, but how can I not like a place that houses mini-versions of all the best quality local eats an shops and provides functional, multi-use group gathering spaces that fosters… Continue reading Bangkok Restaurant Review: The Commons / Roots Coffee
I needed a healthy and productive Saturday so I headed down to Chong Nonsi with my laptop to find Not Just Another Cup cafe. I was delighted by the open, modern, and sunshine-filled space and settled in to a table by the window. I had come with a dish in mind after… Continue reading Bangkok Restaurant Review: Not Just Another Cup
I’ve heard so much praise over Charcoal Tandoor Grill & Mixology that I frankly started to get nervous about trying it because it was going to be a really tall order to live up to all of the hype. Finally, the opportunity arrived and I was invited out with a group of incredibly… Continue reading Bangkok Restaurant Review: Charcoal Tandoor Grill & Mixology
Some people refer to Track 17 as a “speakeasy”, but given that the doorway has some signage I personally do not consider it one. That said, it is fairly inconspicuous, tucked into a corner of the second floor of The Commons and you aren’t likely to notice it if you aren’t looking for it. Walking… Continue reading Bangkok Bar Review: Track 17 at The Commons
Last night I finally had the delight of experiencing Smalls bar. Smalls has been on my “list” forever as it makes an appearance in every “Bangkok’s Best Bars” list. But I also noticed as I’ve started talking to bartenders, bar owners, and other hospitality professionals that they would often cite it as their go-to spot. And if… Continue reading Bangkok Bar Review: Smalls
Walking down Sukhumvit S. 55 you may walk past this unmarked wooden door without even realizing that it is indeed a door. Next time, keep an eye out for it and give it a push to enter a super swank cocktail den. That’s right folk, it’s another mother-f*ckin’ speakeasy. Like many craft cocktail… Continue reading Bangkok Bar Review: Rabbit Hole
My friends live in the Chong Nonsi neighborhood of Silom and introduced me to their neighborhood haunt Le Cafe des Stagiaires. The multiple story building is home to the main bar on the ground floor as well as a restaurant and living quarters for the interns (les stagiaires). Mostly from France, the bar offers young… Continue reading Bangkok Bar Review: Le Cafe des Stagiaires
