Life, Kenneth Barrett, Published on 28/03/2026
» A large, booming presence as bureau chief of the Associated Press in Bangkok for more than 30 years, a war reporter in Indochina before that, thrice president of the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand, Denis Gray has through six turbulent decades occupied front row seats, and foxholes, to report on some of the most violent upheavals of our times.

Holiday Time, Bruce Scott, Published on 28/12/2018
» There’s something festive about afternoon tea to begin with - just having half the day free is cause enough for celebration - but this month you can add a special yuletide touch to the proceedings at the holiday-themed Festive Afternoon Tea at the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok’s Peacock Alley lounge. From now until December 31st, enjoy a visually stunning selection of specially prepared sweet and savoury nibbles, coupled with a list of exquisite teas from Mariage Frères, all for B2,100++ for two persons.

» Children know that Christmas is a time for dreaming big, but there’s no reason adults can’t dream big too this holiday season. And if your dream involves moving into a beautiful luxury condominium, close to plenty of green space but still in the heart of the downtown core, then do yourself a favour and visit the sales gallery and showroom of The Residences at Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok.

» Langsuan Road is buzzing these days, and the massive hotel, residence, and retail development project known collectively as Sindhorn Village is certainly driving a lot of that activity. Among the handful of new dining spots to appear on the scene here is the Cafe Eiffel Langsuan, where the fare has a decidedly French flair. This charming and cheerful all-day dining spot is located midway down the length of Langsuan, right beside the sales gallery and showroom of The Residences at Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok (due to be completed in 2020).
Nordic Noël

» Since its official opening this past July, the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok has earned a prominent position at the forefront of the city upscale wining and dining scene. But they haven’t done this by playing it safe. Take for instance the beautifully designed ground floor fine dining venue, aptly titled the Front Room. Originally envisioned as simply a Thai restaurant, the venue took on a decidedly different twist when the multi-talented Rungthiwa ‘Fae’ Chummongkhon was chosen to helm the restaurant as Chef de Cuisine, promising a blend of Nordic and Thai culinary characteristics.

» If Tenshino, the recently opened Japanese restaurant at the Pullman Bangkok King Power hotel, isn’t on your foodie radar yet then now’s the time to rectify that oversight. Located on the 2nd floor, this innovative dining spot debuted about five months ago and elegantly fuses both the cuisines and the artistic flair of France and Japan. To get a taste of what this kitchen team are capable of-one chef is Japanese and the other is French-the restaurant’s specially prepared Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve set menus provide a superb introduction.

LIGHTS in the Night

» Like the city itself, Bangkok's Chao Phraya River is best enjoyed at night. As the searing daytime temperatures recede and the lights come up along this undulating waterway, it transforms into something a bit more magical; a place where illuminated civic monuments reflect in the inky black surface of the slow moving current. Not surprisingly, there are numerous tour companies offering trips up and down this stretch of the river -- most including dinner -- but over the years the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok's long-running nightly Horizon Cruise has set itself apart from these rival contenders.
