Ploenchit

Ploenchit sits between Siam and Sukhumvit, quieter than both but with a lot going on. Central Embassy, One Bangkok, and Velaa Sindhorn Village on Langsuan Road have made this one of the best areas in Bangkok for dining and luxury hotels. Lumpini Park is right here too, which makes it feel less hectic than the rest of the city.

      Flourish Restaurant at Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel

        Flourish is the main dining venue at Sindhorn Kempinski Bangkok, and it surprised me in a good way. I wasn’t sure what to expect; it’s inside one of Bangkok’s most luxurious hotels in the green Langsuan area, not far from Lumphini Park.

              Samosorn Thai Restaurant

                Samosorn Thai Restaurant, located on the second floor of The Storeys zone at One Bangkok, was a pleasant surprise. The elegant and modern design may be a bit intimidating the first time, but the restaurant welcomes guests with a warm and inviting atmosphere

                                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

                                  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

                                      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 at Velaa Bangkok

                                      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

                                          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 Restaurant in Ploenchit, Bangkok

                                          Baan Langsuan 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.

                                              The Pickwicks Chronicles doesn’t look like much from the street — a dark, slightly mysterious building on Langsuan Road with a name that sounds more like a secondhand bookshop than a bar.

                                              The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok

                                                The Ritz-Carlton at One Bangkok is the latest name to watch in the capital’s growing collection of ultra-luxury stays. It opened in 2024, and the place feels more like a sleek private residence than a typical hotel.

This smaller, more casual branch comes from the team behind Saneh Jaan, the Michelin-listed Thai fine dining restaurant just around the corner at the Sindhorn Building.

This restaurant is famous for its tsukemen, in which they pair homemade noodles with rich broth. The restaurant is decorated with a base of light wood, giving it a clean aesthetic and minimalist feel, which offers an experience of true Japanese dining.

The food is very good and well-priced, and we order takeaway several times a week. There are only a few tables inside and three outside.
