» You'll hear Christmas songs, you'll hear classic party music, you might even hear some Elvis but one sound that's definitely absent is the rumbling of tummies. No one goes hungry here. Henry J. Beans is a classic American diner, which means everything is big: huge plates of wings, 750g T-bones, two-hander tacos and giant glasses of margarhita. Go alone if you dare, but it's best to share.

» Traditionally at this time of year, calorie-watchers worry about what they eat between Christmas and New Year.

Luckily for those fond of extravagance, one of Bangkok's best hotels has created a festive menu featuring the finest ingredients from every gastronome's wish-list.

» Sukhumvit Soi 11 has been cool for some time. Spaceship supperclub Bed landed on 11 ten years ago, and Q Bar opened its party doors as far back as 1999. The less well-heeled have been propping up the scrapyard bar at Cheap Charlie's since the early eighties. In between Charlie's and Q Bar, physically and fiscally, was a mish-mash of massage parlours, tailor touts, street food stalls and a handful of dodgy hostess bars.

» The Dusit Thani, as one of the grandest hotels in the Kingdom, does not do Christmas by halves. This is not the place to visit for lovers of dry turkey and sweaty Christmas puddings. In their place is a gourmand's global wish-list of the best food available on the planet. Eating one chef's special dish per day in each of their eight outlets would take over a week, but it would be an epic week of epicurean pleasure.
