Baiyoke Sky Hotel Sky Restaurant, Bangkok

While in Bangkok Thailand, we had the chance to try the Sky Restaurant at Thailand's tallest hotel, Baiyoke Sky Hotel (309 metres and 88 storeys high). The Sky Restaurant was on the 76th floor of the hotel and offers the Sky Buffet - international buffet lunch or dinner (@ 740Baht or 940Baht per pax. They offer a special 50% discount for in-house guest) Its probably one of the things that you have to do when in Bangkok and have a good panoramic view of the city while having a sumptuous lunch or dinner! So we went for it.

Alas. We were not exceptionally fascinated by the buffet spread. The spread was a great variety offering Western, Italian, Japanese, Chinese delicacies etc such as grilled beef/ pork slices, pizza, sushi, sashimi, dimsum and many others. This sky buffet also boasts of rock lobsters and seafood like river prawns, scallops, crabs, teppanyaki seafood, steamed prawns, fried fishes etc. Unlimited soft drinks were served too. The best dish we found in our opinion, was probably the delicious hot grilled beef/pork slices, Thai tom-yum soup and fried vermicelli with prawns prepared by the butler chef on the spot. All the other dishes seem to have lost its appeal as it appeared ransacked by the other guests in some manner. To be fair, maybe what we experienced that day could be due to the busy dining hour ...

All in all, its a visit that tourists will probably have to try to relax, enjoy and be entertained while getting a taste of the city sight! Clowns and magicians abound to entertain you at the restaurant while you feast. Would not specially recommend you visiting the Sky Restaurant if you are afraid of heights though.
