reader Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 me too , which one is your favorite? Mine is white spinach Veggie. Had a late evening flight on last departure so I went to Madrid for mid-afternoon lunch. Usually get beer with it but Madrid had a Wednesday wine special (100 baht) so I had that instead. And it was a generous pour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never do that unless wine was local Thai because I'm strong believer and practiser of rule that visitors should support their hosts by consuming local products whenever possible. Like ancient Romans said " when in Rome, use only Roman condoms" Of course it's another story if you need wine to flush down your medicine but it's only exception I can think of.

worldatlarge Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 While it must be a thrill to eat at 50m (164 ft) with your feet hanging loose in the air for about an hour, I must say that for about the same price I prefer to drink and eat for 3 hours on the roof of the Banyan Tree hotel’s 61st floor at the Vertigo restaurant / Moon bar. The view is quite incredible and even if the food is not awe inspiring it is still high gastronomy and a nice experience. You have a 360 degrees view of the city at a height of about 235m (770 ft). So you really are “overlooking” the city. Disclaimer: No exact height can be found for the Banyan Tree so I took the information from the Lebua State Tower which has the Sirocco restaurant and Sky bar on the 64th floor, at 247m (820 ft) (3rd highest in Bangkok) and just extrapolated. Naturally, the vue from Lebua must be something too Other skybars are listed here. https://thejaiyencountry.wordpress.com/2013/08/18/5-best-skybars-in-bangkok/ Pictures from November 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have been to both Lebua sky bar and Banyan Trees Moon bar just for drinking, no dining. I took a couple of Tawan boys with me and they were busy taking selfies than drinking.lol While the view from Lebua is truely spectacular the place is so crowded with many tourists I much preferred the experience at Banyan Tree’s moon bar. As with all those 5 star hotel bars, they had ‘no shorts’ dress code and one of boys had to wear a black loose long trousers provided by the hotel. lol PS I just opened attached article of the 5 best roof top bars, I’ve also been to Marriot’s Octave- very casual, no dress code and Cloud 47 which was conveniently located on Silom Road I believe is now closed permanently.

Like ancient Romans said " when in Rome, use only Roman condoms" I am guessing that you don't enjoy wine? The local stuff is terrible.
