Celebrating our wedding anniversary at Attico turned out to be an unexpected gem of a dining experience—one that exceeded all expectations from start to finish. Despite being located in a major hotel, Attico feels like Bangkok’s best-kept Italian secret. When we arrived, we were surprised to find the restaurant nearly empty—with just one other table occupied—but this only made the evening feel more intimate and exclusive. Knowing it was a special occasion, the team thoughtfully seated us in a cozy, private corner with a breathtaking view of the Bangkok skyline. The moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly by the entire staff—even the chef came out to say hello, which immediately set a welcoming tone. 🇮🇹 Ambience & Food The restaurant is beautifully designed, evoking a rustic Italian charm with modern elegance. You feel like you’ve stepped into a stylish trattoria in Tuscany. We ordered: • Burrata salad, truffle mushroom soup, and Parma ham to start • Spaghetti Vongole and Lasagne as mains Each dish was served one at a time, allowing us to savor the experience at our own pace. Every course was freshly prepared, elegantly plated, and full of flavor. You could truly taste the care in every bite. 🌟 Service That Shines If the food was excellent, the service was nothing short of flawless. The lady who served us (wish I caught her name!) went above and beyond, as did the rest of the team. They took their time to help us capture beautiful photos around the restaurant and even surprised us with a complimentary anniversary dessert—a warm, thoughtful gesture that made the evening unforgettable. So impressed were we by the entire team—I personally tipped each staff member to show our appreciation. ⸻ Final Verdict Attico is a hidden gem that deserves far more attention. With exquisite food, exceptional service, and a warm, romantic atmosphere, it’s the kind of place that turns a special night into a lifelong memory. The team here are true stars—both front and back of house. #summervacay #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip #AtticoBangkok #RadissonBluBangkok #ItalianDiningBangkok #HiddenGemBangkok #AnniversaryDinner #BangkokFineDining #RomanticRestaurantsBKK #BangkokSkylineDining #5StarService #ItalianCuisineThailand #BestServiceBangkok #MemorableMoments

Looking for a luxurious yet value-for-money buffet experience in the heart of Bangkok? The dinner buffet at The Berkeley Dining Room more than delivers. The first thing that stood out was the wide assortment of dishes available. From fresh seafood on ice, Japanese sushi and sashimi, Thai favorites, to international mains—it’s a global culinary journey all in one sitting. What truly elevates the experience, though, are the live cooking stations. You’ll find Wagyu beef grilled to order, which was tender and flavorful. But the highlight? Foie gras, seared fresh per plate, rich and indulgent—something you don’t expect at this price point. The dessert spread was just as impressive, with everything from traditional Thai sweets to cakes, pastries, and a chocolate fountain. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and the service attentive without being overbearing. #summervacay #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip #BerkeleyDiningRoom #BangkokBuffet #WagyuFeast #FoieGrasBuffet #LuxuryEatsBKK #BangkokFoodie #DinnerBuffetBangkok #BerkeleyHotelBKK #GourmetBuffet #LiveCookingStations #FoodLoversBangkok

I had an amazing time learning about elephants and interacting with them in their natural habitat. I am always curious to see them up close and in Chiang Mai you can book day tour to see them. You will get the chance to feed them, make some probiotics foods and bath them in the river. All of the activities are supervised closely by the staffs and they also help you to take pictures with the elephants. I would definitely recommend hanging out with them as one of the to do in Chiang Mai! #chiangmai #elephantsanctuary #thailand

Stayed 2 nights at Marina Seaview Bangsaen — and honestly, it’s all about that view 😍. Waking up to the sound of the waves and an oceanfront sunrise 🌄 is just magical. There’s no breakfast buffet 🍽️, but they offer flexible options, which was great for someone like me who doesn’t eat pork or beef 🐟🥗. The room was clean 🧼, cozy 🛋️, and well-kept — perfect for a chill escape. Only drawback: no elevator 🚫🛗, so be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs 🎒. But for the view and calm vibes alone, it’s 100% worth it! ❤️ #throwback #beach #beachvacation #beachvibes #marinaseaview #travel #travelphotography #bangsaen #bangsaenbeach #thailand #vacation #weekendgetaways #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #thailand🇹🇭 #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #naturewonders

Location & First Impressions: 5/5 Finding this lounge is a win for travelers flying out of the C gates at Suvarnabhumi. Its prime location right near Gate C1 is incredibly convenient, eliminating stressful treks across the terminal. The entrance is striking and inviting, and the promise of direct tarmac views immediately sets it apart. As a newly opened lounge (confirmed by staff from another Coral location), it feels fresh and purpose-built. Ambience & Comfort: 4.5/5 The "Cocoon" concept shines through. The lounge boasts excellent new furnishings and fittings, creating a sophisticated yet relaxing atmosphere. It feels modern, clean, and intentionally designed for comfort. The highlight during my visit was the surprising sense of exclusivity – the lounge was refreshingly uncrowded, making it a peaceful haven away from the bustling terminal. The tarmac views add a pleasant backdrop. Food & Beverage: 4/5 The food lived up to the expected "Coral standard" – good quality and satisfying. While the exact spread wasn't detailed, it clearly met expectations for a pre-flight lounge. The standout beverage note was the excellent coffee – freshly ground and genuinely tasty, a welcome step above typical lounge brews. Amenities & Service: 5/5 This is where the lounge truly impressed. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, setting a positive tone immediately. The unexpected gem was the complimentary masseur. Offering short (10-15 minute) massages is a brilliant touch that elevates the experience significantly, perfect for relieving travel tension. Basic amenities (restrooms, seating, charging) were all in excellent, new condition. Overall Experience & Value: 4.5/5 The Coral Finest Business Cocoon Lounge C1 is an excellent addition to Suvarnabhumi's lounge options, especially for C-gate passengers. It combines prime location, a fresh and sophisticated atmosphere, good food, and outstanding service with the unique perk of the masseur. The lack of crowds (during my visit) was the cherry on top, enhancing the feeling of being a "hidden gem." Verdict: Highly recommended, particularly if you value convenience to C gates, a peaceful and modern environment, and that wonderful touch of relaxation from the massage service. It delivers a premium lounge experience that feels both comfortable and slightly indulgent. If you have access and are flying from the C concourse, make a beeline for this new Cocoon – it's a significant step up from the standard airport wait. #summervacay #AirportLounge #SuvarnabhumiAirport #BKK #LuxuryTravel #BusinessClass #TravelHacks #AirportLife #TheCoralLounge #TravelInStyle #FlyInComfort #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

Tonkatsu Wako is a familiar name for lovers of Japanese fried pork cutlets, and the Terminal21 Bangkok outlet lives up to the chain’s solid reputation. As fans of this brand from our travels in Japan, we were curious to see if the Bangkok experience would match up—and it absolutely did. The atmosphere was distinctly Japanese, from the clean lines of the decor to the bright, well-lit space. I ordered the pork loin set and was pleased to find it just as we remembered—crispy golden breading on the outside, tender and juicy pork inside. What truly made the meal satisfying was the generous policy of free-flow rice, shredded cabbage, and miso soup. The white rice deserves a special mention: perfectly cooked, fluffy, and fragrant—it paired beautifully with the pork cutlet. Service was polite and efficient, and the overall environment was calm and comfortable, ideal for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. A great option if you’re craving an authentic tonkatsu fix in Bangkok. #summervacay #TonkatsuWako #Terminal21Bangkok #JapaneseFoodBangkok #PorkLoinPerfection #BangkokEats #JapaneseChainDoneRight #ComfortFood #TonkatsuLovers #FreeFlowCabbage #AuthenticTaste #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

Tucked into a small alley in the heart of Huai Khwang, Porpran Larb Phed Roi Et is a hidden gem for those craving authentic, no-frills Thai food. The signboard stands out in the dim alley, and that’s exactly what caught my attention during a casual evening stroll in the area. The restaurant caters mostly to locals, and I could see why — the food was freshly prepared, full of flavour, and priced very reasonably. It’s a straightforward walk-in spot with a very local vibe, and while there’s no English menu, I managed to order easily thanks to my Thai. If you’re looking for an authentic supper spot that serves up comforting Northeastern Thai dishes without the touristy polish, this is a solid choice. Simple, satisfying, and very local. #summervacay #PorpranLarbPhedRoiEt #HuaiKhwangEats #HiddenGemsBangkok #LocalThaiFood #IsaanFlavours #AuthenticThai #BangkokStreetFood #LateNightEats #ThaiSupperSpot #NoFrillsDelicious #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

Had dinner here with a Thai friend who recommended this place for a casual Italian night out. Located conveniently in the middle of the mall, Bianca is hard to miss and has a chic, open layout that adds to the ambience. The open kitchen concept gives diners a peek into the action, which is a nice touch. We had a 6pm reservation and were seated immediately. The menu offered a good range of classic Italian fare. We went with the burrata with tomatoes and Parma ham, truffle pasta, salmon, and tiramisu for dessert. The burrata was fresh and creamy, pairing beautifully with the sweet tomatoes and salty Parma ham – easily my favorite dish of the evening. The tiramisu was another standout – rich and indulgent without being overly sweet. The truffle pasta and salmon were decent but didn’t quite wow us – perhaps just not as refined in flavor as the starters and dessert. Service was polite and efficient, though not overly warm. Overall, Bianca delivers a solid Italian dining experience in a comfortable setting. Great for casual catch-ups, date nights, or a meal during a shopping break. Stick to their signature items for the best experience. #summervacay #BiancaItalian #ItalianFoodBangkok #BurrataLovers #TiramisuHeaven #BangkokEats #MallDining #OpenKitchenExperience #TrufflePasta #FoodieBangkok #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

Cookkimao on Banthat Thong may look unassuming from the outside — we actually missed the entrance the first time — but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise for a casual dinner stop. Though it’s clearly popular as a drinking spot, we came purely for the food, encouraged by its solid Google ratings. And we weren’t disappointed. We tried two beef dishes: the stewed beef stir-fried with basil and a spicy beef soup that carried strong tom yum notes. The standout was the stir-fried beef — incredibly fragrant, packing both heat and depth of flavor. The beef had been stewed until meltingly tender, then given a fiery lift from the basil and chilies. The soup, meanwhile, was rich with herbs, lemongrass, and lime, and showcased fresh ingredients in every spoonful. Do note: the spice levels are legit, and might surprise those not used to Thai heat — especially in the stir-fried beef. But if you enjoy bold, aromatic flavors, you’re in for a treat. Inside, the restaurant has a lively, social vibe, likely from the drinking crowd, but it still felt welcoming and chill for those just looking for good food. The servers were friendly and happy to assist. Overall, Cookkimao delivers on flavor, authenticity, and atmosphere. A great place to explore deeper Thai flavors beyond the usual tourist fare — just bring a bit of heat tolerance with you. #summervacay #Cookkimao #BanthatThongEats #HiddenGemsBangkok #SpicyThaiFood #BeefBasilLovers #BangkokFoodie #TomYumVibes #LocalDiningExperience #localfood #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

Tucked inside the iconic MBK Center in Bangkok, Starbucks Mahboonkrong may not be the largest outlet, but it more than makes up for its size with charm and thoughtful decor. I dropped by in the afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to find it relatively quiet — a rare luxury in busy Bangkok. Despite the modest space, I had no trouble finding a seat. The ambience was cozy, made even more inviting by the unique overhanging lanterns that added a nice visual touch to the café’s interior. It gave the place character, and I managed to snap some great photos while I was there. As expected, the coffee was consistently good, just like at any Starbucks around the world. The staff at the counter were friendly and efficient, making the overall experience smooth and pleasant. If you’re in the area and looking for a quiet spot to relax, recharge, or just enjoy a reliable cup of coffee, this Starbucks offers a nice little escape from the surrounding hustle. #summervacay #StarbucksMBK #BangkokCoffeeSpots #MBKCenter #CozyCafeVibes #StarbucksThailand #CafeHoppingBKK #CoffeeBreakBangkok #SmallSpaceBigStyle #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

While shopping around Terminal 21 in Bangkok, we were in need of a coffee break and a spot to rest our feet — and like clockwork, Starbucks came to the rescue. This particular outlet, located right inside the bustling mall, proved to be a reliable choice once again. It was a weekday afternoon, and the café was understandably busy. Still, we managed to grab seats without much hassle. The vibe was energetic but comfortable — perfect for a short breather in the middle of a shopping spree. The coffee was exactly what you’d expect from Starbucks anywhere in the world — familiar, consistent, and satisfying. Service was efficient and courteous, despite the crowd. We enjoyed our drinks while people-watching and soaking in the lively mall atmosphere. All in, it was a good pit stop. Nothing groundbreaking, but Starbucks rarely tries to be — and that’s the charm. Dependable coffee, a decent seat, and a few moments to unwind. #summervacay #StarbucksThailand #Terminal21Bangkok #CoffeeBreak #PeopleWatchingSpot #FamiliarFlavors #BangkokCafeScene #ReliableRestStop #StarbucksExperience #CafeHoppingBangkok #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

After touching down in Bangkok and settling into our hotel, we headed straight to Prego for a late dinner — a tradition that never disappoints. This restaurant has consistently delivered top-notch Italian fare, and it’s easy to see why we keep returning. On this visit, we ordered the carbonara and the vongole — both were perfectly executed. The pasta was cooked al dente, the flavors rich yet balanced, and each bite a reminder of why this place remains a favourite. But beyond the food, what truly elevated the evening was the outstanding service. Cha and Alice took care of us from the moment we walked in, making sure everything ran smoothly. They were warm, attentive, and showed genuine hospitality that added a personal touch to our meal. The ambience is inviting and well-appointed, striking just the right balance between casual and classy. A great dining experience isn’t just about the cuisine — it’s the service, the setting, and the feeling you walk away with. And at Prego Bangkok, all those boxes are ticked. Highly recommended — and yes, we’ll definitely be back.

Ideal for casual meetings, studying, or a cozy caffeine break at any hour. #summervacay #TomNToms #BangkokCafe #AsokeEats #24hrCafe #KPopCafe #BingsuBangkok #CafeWithWiFi #SukhumvitCoffee #BangkokStudySpot #LateNightCoffee #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

While strolling through Siam Square, we stumbled upon the newly opened Molly Tea, a bright and stylish tea parlour that caught our eye with its minimalist, elegant aesthetic. Despite not being a hardcore tea drinker, I found their offerings surprisingly enjoyable. The setup is straightforward—place your order, receive a queue number, and wait for your tea. Seating is available for those who want to chill a bit longer, and the clean, welcoming interior adds to the pleasant experience. One thing to note: all of their tea options come with milk, so it might not be the best fit if you prefer your tea straight. But for milk tea lovers, this spot is a gem. The packaging is particularly noteworthy—beautifully designed cups and holders that add a premium touch without the premium price tag. A great place for a refreshing drink and some Instagram-worthy shots. #summervacay #MollyTea #SiamSquareDrinks #BangkokTeaSpot #MilkTeaLovers #MollyTeaBangkok #AestheticCafes #TeaParlourVibes #BangkokCafeHopping #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip

Craving boat noodles in the heart of Bangkok, we found ourselves at Thai Thai Boat Noodles in Siam Square—a cozy, well-decorated restaurant that stood out with its inviting exterior and comfortable indoor setting. It was a refreshing change to enjoy Thai street food in an air-conditioned space without sacrificing flavor. We ordered the boat noodles with Australian wagyu beef, fresh oysters, and Thai basil beef over rice. The boat noodle broth was rich and deeply flavorful, delivering that classic Thai intensity. Unfortunately, the wagyu beef was slightly overcooked, which made it a bit tougher than expected. That said, the oysters were impressively fresh and plump, and the basil beef dish was aromatic, comforting, and satisfying. Service was efficient—our food arrived quickly—and the overall vibe was relaxed and pleasant. Whether you’re a tourist exploring Siam or a local looking for familiar favorites with a touch more comfort, this spot strikes a good balance between street-style eats and restaurant-level ambiance. #summervacay #ThaiThaiBoatNoodles #SiamSquareEats #BangkokFoodie #BoatNoodlesBangkok #StreetFoodWithStyle #ComfortDining #WagyuBoatNoodles #OysterLovers #BasilBeefRice #BangkokRestaurants #travel #bangkok #bangkoktrip #thailand #thailandtrip
