A nice final stop before flying out back into the cold: Restaurant Plu (15. January 2024)
The Plu was listed in the Guide Michelin app, and given I have had a few experiences on Koh Samui, which turned out to be a bit disappointing, I didn’t have high expectations. Since I had walked there, and it was located in a back alley, I was expecting even less, to then be positively […]
Remaining a true gem for absolutely lovely cocktails: The Bar @ The House on Sathorn @ W Bangkok (15. January 2024)
Despite the fact that I had been here 10 days ago, I decided to give this place another try, since it’s perfectly located if you stay in the W Bangkok, and it’s just so atmospheric. I went for the “Italian Symphony (rose, lychee, salt, citrus, London Essence white peach & jasmine soda)” (280 THB), which […]
The perfect place to have a pitstop when visiting Thailand’s former capital: Restaurant View Wat Ayutthaya (15. January 2024)
If you have a bit of time, I would highly recommend you to visit Ayutthaya, the old capital of Thailand, which is about a one-hour drive from Bangkok. Definitely worth doing so. There are a lot of temples, and they are quite impressive, and the summer palace of the royal family is equally impressive. So, […]
Perfect for a brief noodle soup stop before take off: Restaurant Khao Hom (14. January 2024)
Given I was quite hungry before take off, I figured a bowl of “Thai Noodles” (180 THB) wouldn’t harm, and they didn’t. I mean, the bowl pretty much was what the picture on the menu had promised, and frankly, it was good. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quite helpful all in all. So, if […]
An amazing restaurant located in a library-themed hotel: Restaurant The Page @ The Library Hotel (13. January 2024)
The Page in The Library Hotel is a place you would have never expected to be there. It is located in one of the streets of Chaweng and the entrance is super-well hidden. Like, you wouldn’t walk in there. But once you do, you’re rewarded wiht a beautiful setting and a truly great concept. The […]
An absolutely amazing and dream-like location right by the beach: Sala Beach Bar @ Sala Samui Chaweng Beach Resort (13. January 2024)
My assessment of Koh Samui – in a nutshell – is that you need to find the gems, and then it’s beautiful. Else, it’s relatively disappointing. The Sala Beach Bar in the Sala Samui Chaweng Beach Resort is such a place. It offers an amazing setting with lovely drinks. I went for the “mango mule […]
A decent place with a nice view onto the sea: Restaurant Khrua Chao Ban (13. January 2024)
The Khrua Chao Ban is very comparable to the Sabienglae Lamai – it’s a simple beach-front restaurant with a huge menu. I had gone for the “spicy-grilled beef salad” (250 THB), which was actually quite nice. A bit too much lemongrass, which made it tricky to eat without chewing for hours, but good in terms […]
A decent, but not really outstanding restaurant with a beach view: Restaurant Sabienglae Lamai (12. January 2024)
The Sabienglae was a recommendation by the hotel, and I was curious to see what it has to offer. Frankly, it’s the same here as in many other restaurants, which is the vast selection of dishes, which is really kind of mind-blowing that they claim to be able to consistently cook all those dishes at […]
