    Forza Volti!

    Holiday Time, Noel Maclean, Published on 19/12/2016

    Italian as you like it

    Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 02/12/2013

    » Now starring at Brio, the ever-indulgent Italian restaurant ensconced amidst Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa's manicured jungle, culinary mastermind Danilo Sangrigoli does not stop at creating divine dishes. He's an old-school Italian chef who believes in personally extending warm-hearted hospitality to guests, even table-hopping a pizza dough swirling show that speaks to the Pizza World Champion medals he has won among others: for speed (he's in the Guinness Book of Records for cooking 540 pizzas in 103 minutes), acrobatics (his party trick), and most importantly, QUALITY.

    Bangkok borderland ECO escape

    Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 02/12/2013

    » Wouldn't it be great to get the heck out of Dodge and fill those lungs with sweet fresh air without having to prepare like Dessert Storm and survive an ordeal more jarring than the Paris-Dakar to get there?

    Euforia at eforea

    Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 11/12/2013

    Trails from the riverbank

    Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 06/12/2012

    » Under the midday sun, the view from Trader Vic's multi-ethnic cuisine restaurant is of a broad reach of river flowing fast to the sea such as inspired Joseph Conrad's tales of hapless expats getting lost in translation. The Chao Phraya - River of Kings, if you will - feels steeped in history and continues to evoke an age of romance. Forgetting the condos rising along its edge and focusing instead on high-gloss rice barges turned gin palaces moored closer by, just the sight of it makes you feel like rowing out to a schooner moored midstream and setting sale for the fictional Vic's spiritual home in Polynesia. One might also imagine the legendary bon vivant stepping ashore and emerging between a riot of waxen foliage with his mates, like an earlier age Anthony Bourdain in search of exotic culinary sensations with which to treat his compadres on his eventual return home. The welcome, a Thai-style orchid garland hung around your neck in a thin rendition of the Hawaiian custom, adds more to the atmosphere.

    Sitting at the top of the bay

    Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 07/12/2012

    » From 14-34 floors above Beach Road, no further explanation than the half-moon, palm fringed bay is needed for Pattaya's perennial popularity among travellers from near and far. In golden afternoon sunshine, the sparkling salty turquoise expanse bears testimony to the efficacy of the seaside city's expensively procured water treatment infrastructure, as do not a few stick figures bobbing around colourful buoy-bordered swim areas cordoned off against darting jet ski bounders and bouncing speedboats trailing high-holstered paragliders or fast-ferrying day-trippers to pristine isles on the near horizon.
