Bangkok, Thailand – Restaurants

With weather that is warm in the evenings rooftop bars have finally become a 'thing' in Bangkok - delivering great views over the city skyline paired with a variety of cocktails, wines and beer and usually small bites.

Take it from downtown and drive about 2 or 3 miles east until just before the small bridge that crosses the Owens River. On the right hand side there … [Read more...]
