Situated on the 7th floor of this shiny new hotel, the contemporary venue with discreet Thai touches is a light-filled, airy space that lets guests enjoy delicacies with a gorgeous view of Bangkok's cityscape.

» Paris may not be as famed for the art of afternoon tea as the UK, but that doesn't mean it's not worth your while. If you're in the City of Lights and have a craving for some top-notch tipple time, make it at Cafe Antonia, housed inside the palatial hotel Le Bristol. The cafe may be named after Queen Marie Antoinette (her mother called her Antonia as a child), but crowds from all circles seem to be drawn to this airy eatery that offers drinks, sandwiches and afternoon tea. There's not even that many tourists, but rather, a large number of locals, be it office men, fashionable Parisians or senior women who come for their delightful high tea sets.

» Jewellery has never been about function, but with Sarran's latest collection of flower-centric necklaces, earrings and bracelets, there is an interchangeable function that was never there before: customers can now customise the fragrance each piece will give off. The eponymous designer, Sarran Youkongdee, brings his brand to new ground this season -- something his collection clearly embodies with its name "Ja-rern", which means prosper or progress in Thai.
