                        Elements Restaurant is on the 25th floor of The Okura Prestige Bangkok. We went for dinner on a quiet weekday evening, curious to see how this Michelin-starred restaurant balances French and Japanese influences.

                        Siwilai City Club at Central Embasy

                        Siwilai City Club

                          Siwilai City Club is not your typical rooftop bar. It’s only on the 5th floor of Central Embassy, so you won’t get sweeping skyline views, but I’ve always liked it for the easy-going vibe

                              Up and Above Bar at The Okura Prestige Bangkok is one of those rooftops that feels calm and elegant from the moment you step in. Located on the 24th floor, it doesn’t reach the dizzying heights of some of Bangkok’s tallest sky bars, but the view over the city is still wide and impressive, especially in the late afternoon light.

                              Tonkatsu Aoki

                                Tonkatsu AOKI just opened at Velaa Sindhorn Village, and it’s already drawing queues every day, especially at lunch and weekends. I dropped by recently and waited almost 40 minutes before getting a table — and even then, it was a tight squeeze inside.

                                  Baannok Bangkok on Langsuan Road is one of those places we keep going back to. It’s tucked away on the second floor of Vivre Langsuan, right across from Portico, but it feels more like someone’s living room than a city restaurant.

                                    Baan Langsuan is one of those places that’s easy to miss, but once you’ve been, it stays with you. Set inside a restored white wooden house on Langsuan Road, just a few minutes’ walk from Chit Lom BTS, it looks more like someone’s home than a restaurant.
