I didn’t know quite what to expect when I landed in Bangkok
After flying halfway across the world, the Tower Club at Lebua offered the quiet, comfortable accommodations I needed to recover from jetlag. I awoke refreshed the next morning to sun peeking through the curtains, and pulled them back to find a beautiful sunrise bathing the hazy city in warm light.
Later in the evening, I found it hard to choose from all the dining options at The Dome. Each has a unique menu and exceptional views of the city. You really feel like you’re floating above it all! I ended up at Distil, home of a huge selection of whiskeys and inventive cocktails, where I sipped a cucumber gin concoction from a martini glass.
Following cocktails, I had dinner at Breeze, an open air Asian restaurant on the 52nd floor. The suspended glass bridge you cross en route to your table is magnificent; the views of the Chao Praya River and the metropolitan area at night will astound you. Dinner itself was delicious, course after course. My favorite was the barbecue beef tenderloin… or maybe it was the green tea ice cream parfait. Either way, the experience of dining above the fray was one I won’t soon forget.
