Baiyoke Sky Hotel
Had dinner on two occasions at a lower level restaurant in Baiyoke Sky Hotel and the food was awesome. During the weekends, diners were entertained to a Thai cultural dance.





Reservations had to be made in advance for buffet dinner served at the 76th and 78th level of Baiyoke Sky, Thailand's tallest building. It has a spectacular view of Bangkok. The buffet spread is awesome with asian and western cuisines but we were disappointed with the taste of the food. There was a 3-member band who entertained the diners with Thai and English songs. Later, they serenaded a group of Koreans sitting next to our table with some Korean songs. The band's performance was very entertaining.

Food & Shopping

Shopping and eating in the comfort of air-conditioned malls in Bangkok is really an experience. Food courts at Siam Paragon, Central World and MBK come with a dazzling selection of Asian and Western cuisines.

Most of the upmarket shopping malls are situated in the Sukhumvit district and the skywalk will link you from one mall to another. For a bargain hunter's paradise, you may want to opt for Chatuchak, the weekend market. There are reportedly more than 5,000 stalls in this gigantic place. You can see the locals and foreigners crowding this place as early as 10am. The easiest way to get around Bangkok is to use the Skytrain to move through the city. You get good view of the city in the rides. The fare is cheap but if you're travelling in a group of 4 or more, then it is more economical to take a cab.

While scouring for food, we found this place called ZOOD Noodle at Central World. Most of the restaurants are located at level 7


You can use the paper table mat to play snake and ladder while waiting for your food.
