Guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 1. Old Hippie, so you recommend the Baioyke Hotel buffet? I've been trying to figure out how to get some great pictures (and a nice view of the whole area) from a skyscraper while in BKK and this may be it. 2. Is this place on Sukhumvit (walking distance?) or would I be catching a cab? 3. Is the buffet a lunch or dinner affair? 4. Would this be an okay place to take (or go with) a BG? 5. Is the food Thai or is it a mix? This sounds great! Others who have been there please comment! thaistudent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Humble Stud: You cannot miss the Baiyoke 2, it's the 16th tallest building in the world (according to my almanac). It's on that street, the name of which always escapes me, but north from the World Trade Center along that same street. I know air-con bus #13 will pass it, that runs beween Sukhumvit and Victory Monument and up Pahonyothin, but it's set off the street some, and when your right by it, you can't see it well, because of the other shops you're right in front of; a cab is best for the first time. We were there for dinner, but I think they do lunch, also. A good Thai buffet, maybe a little Western thrown in. Yes, take a BG; I remember we were there on a Valentine's Day, and there was a guy who had a gorgeous-looking, extremily sexily dressed young lady with him, had the BG look; saw him give her her VD present, a watch, and judging from her, um, affectionate response right then, I think he must still have very fond memories of the night that followed. I think reservations might be best, and I'll see if I can find their card at home tonight; if so, I'll get back to you and give you the telephone number.

Guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Sounds great Siam, and I'll just plan on the taxi routine to get there! thaistudent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 I was last there in Novemebr. The buffet was 400bht or so, yes, take a BG or two! The food was a mix of Asian (all sorts represented) and western, with roast beef, and mashed potatos, worth skipping in my opinion. Also some paste skip again. But all in all, it was great! We ordered tea and coffe, which weren't included, and the waiter chased after us as we left and went down stairs. No big deal. I really good view! Maybe worth a camcorder!! Keep in mind, a ride to the top is normally 100bht or so, so 400bht for dinner and the view is well worth is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 I forgot, yes, taxi is probably the best option for getting there, hell of a walk from Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 I stayed at the Baiyoke last month and I agree that the view was fantastic, but eventhough the selection of food was big they didn`t have fried eggs or bacon.... But worth going to, if only for the view ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
