News, Noel Maclean, Published on 30/12/2014
» Let's face it, when it comes to New Year's Eve partying and fireworks in Bangkok, the riverside is pretty irresistible. The only trouble is that to catch the show, you either have to pay through the nose for the privilege of attending one of the gala parties at a fabulous five star hotel or join the hoypoloi crush under bridges, around pontoons, up on the bridges, or at a friend's condo, anywhere you can find a shaky perch.

Bistro heaven
Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 31/12/2013
» Bistro culture is big business in Bangkok, burgeoning like the coffee house and Irish pub crazes before it. The recipe is simple: Continental comfort food, chic surroundings and strategic location relative to the locus of everyday human enterprise, thereby providing a convenient point at which to be relieved of some of that hard-earned cash in return for feel-good food and drink indulgences.
In the zone away from home
Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 12/12/2013
» Nowhere is Bangkok's confidence in its future more evident these days than down by the river, especially in the neighbourhoods of the skytrain stations and bridge that now also put the Thonburi side, the city's original temple precinct, on the mass transit map. Some of the most euphoric condo concepts in the city are taking shape there on both banks, along with upscale mall projects, including a new Paragon, surging ahead with the ambition of chaneling the surging affluence.
All dishes on deck

» There's something about being on or right beside the river that always seems to put life in a better perspective. As the water races purposefully to the sea, so one's cares feel washed away.
Sit down Sunday brunch
Life, Noel Maclean, Published on 05/12/2012
» Whatever the impression given by Bangkok hotels, nowhere is it written that a brunch must be a buffet. The key feature is a meal that segues from breakfast into lunch and combines the two. It's a concept that might make more sense, therefore, if you were to make a meal of your Sunday by starting your dining when you wake up after your lie-in around 10 am, say, and then just chill at the table through to mid-afternoon, nibbling on this and that while chit chatting with a procession of people. At that point one might ease oneself up to take a mild constitutional to get the circulation going again, burn off some calories and move into a different phase of the day, catching a movie, cruising the mall or hitting the links once conditions get cooler.
