khunsanuk Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi, It's my parents' anniversary this Sunday and they want to have a nice lunch or dinner with the family. I figured doing a brunch buffet would be nice, but the prices are way beyond our budget (most I found are in the 1300-2500 Baht range, and that is plain ridiculous I think, especially considering there will be 7 of us). The one at the Emerald hotel doesn't look too bad at 512 Baht/net, but I have never been there. Has anyone tried it? If so, any good? Any other suggestions? Doesn't have to be buffet; parents are not fond of Japanese; Ratchada area would be nice, but not required. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Windsor Suites (Soi 20) - believe about THB 500 or so for a very decent brunch. Can call in today and get a discount card from them if you book for 7. Emerald is similar quality also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous God Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'd place Windsor auites a little above the Emerald, have clients who stay at both places, call to make sure the "Sunday" one is more expensive. I still find the best value, and too expensive for 7 maybe, is the Lord Jims at the Oriental Hotel, 1000 baht which is cheaper than Sheriton etc, and far nicer, better "History" views also.

khunsanuk Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi, Emerald would be MUCH easier for us to get to though. Worth ~500 Baht / person? 7K is probably too expensive, and Oriental is not easy for us to get to either. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Emerald has 2 buffets, the Asian one upstairs, and a "European" one down stairs. Both are good, the one down stairs has better atmosphere and decor as I recall. Other options might be the Huntsmans in the Landmark, if they are still there. Bei Otto, Fortuna...Not sure if Dusit Thani does a brunch anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs LK & my last Lord Jim's Sunday brunch was B1550++ plus drinks, about a month ago. Still an outstanding value considering the venue, but not an option given the original poster's requirements.

LizardKing Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Can't recommend Bei Otto Sunday brunch. Highly disappointing given the usual quality of their fare. Chesa, right next door, is a much better option, but too pricey for KS' request @ B1200++ (I think) plus drinks. Very highly recommended by me, tho'.

I'll disagree about Bei Otto, love the place for the buffett, the quality is very good to me anyway, beats the crap German places in SFO. There is a place on SOi 20, Windsor Park Hotel maybe? (Might be the place PM mentioned?) That had a good dinner buffet, and also a Sunday brunch, I liked it and thought the price was decent, maybe 600bht all in. But haven't been in years, also haven't been to Huntsman's is it still there? I always liked that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hi, Thanks for all the suggestions, but looks like it has become a moot point. Dad suggested we could eat at the place he remembered from a previous trip, close to my house. Food is nice there, but it is a big tent with concrete benches Anyway, their anniversary so if that is what he likes, that is where we'll eat. Sanuk!
