Quiet romantic dining in Bangkok's East End, at several Lake View restaurants along Ramkhamhaeng soi 110.
In between Bangkapi and Minburi, on the east side of Bangkok, you'll find a series of quiet lakes, the Sammakon Lakes. These waters are dotted with restaurants and pubs - all recommended for good food and quiet atmosphere.

The Thai Vegetarian Food Festival of Ginje
A look into the Annual Ginje Festival in Thailand, a week-long Treat for Vegetarians
Every year in October, Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore celebrate The Nine Emperor Gods Festival, which is a Vegetarian Food Festival. This event is held for the first 9 days of the the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar, usually falling in late September or early October. In Thailand it is also called the เทศกาลกินเจ (Tesagan Ginje,or Gin Jae), the special Vegetarian Festival. I had an opportunity to share in this meat-free food festival, and enjoyed the special dishes. Even though I am not a vegetarian, some of the dishes were delightful to taste!

Baiyoke Sky Tower Buffet: Dining at the Top of Bangkok
Dine in style at the top of Bangkok's tallest building; a review of Baiyoke Sky Tower
The tallest building in Bangkok, Thailand, is the Baiyoke Sky Hotel with 85 floors (also known as Baiyoke II or Baiyoke Sky Tower), one of two Baiyoke Towers right near each other. At the top is an outdoor rotating platform where you can view and take photos of the fabulous city of Bangkok. Yet there is an even better attraction just a few floors below the top... the buffet. There are two restaurants in this building: the Sky Grille and the Sky Buffet. The Sky Buffet is the best, and it excels on many levels.
