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.

» Love it or leave it, there's no denying that Pattaya is popular. And not just among a certain genus of male tourist.
