It’s hard to talk about brunch in Bangkok without hearing the name “Dexter”, so when I saw that the Bangkok Young Expats Meetup group meets here regularly it seemed like a great opportunity to give it a try and to meet some new people. I made my way down to Sathorn and found a modern,… Continue reading Bangkok Restaurant Review: Dexter Cafe & Bar
My friends live in the Chong Nonsi neighborhood of Silom and introduced me to their neighborhood haunt Le Cafe des Stagiaires.

This Sapparot Deconstructed Dessert was a complete work of art.

Black Box is a very casual, pay at the counter, brunch option located in the Mahatun Plaza shopping center right next to Ploenchit. They have a lot of standard Western brunch dishes (eggs, salads, burgers) as well as a Thai menu. Although, the crowd on this Sunday morning was extremely Western favoring.
