bamboozled Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I used to go to the Meridien on occasion for this type of thing, La Favola restaurant, and was pretty satisfied but they're closed right now. If I remember, it was about 2k (pre covid) including open bar. Anything like that to recommend, folks? Thank you, Bamboozled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jelli Posted August 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) I'm not big on buffet. It's ok with wife to kill a Sunday but it's always quantity over quality For Thai food try Savoey via food apps. Rama 9 mall. Lots of those type of restys. For lower budgets the smaller malls up the blue line to Pohan Yotin will save (only) a few hundred baht at best (might not be as good). That Central will also be full of options. Lots of mall food closing due to economy I'm noticing Edited August 29, 2023 by Jelli 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted August 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2023 Siripanna near Gymkhana Golf Club had a good buffet for 399 baht pre-Covid, alcohol purchased separately. Thai food, cake and ice-cream dessert. The other one I recall is a German buffet, Auf Der Au off Lamphun Road. 299 baht, heavy on German sausages and pork. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I used to quite enjoy Landmark buffet. Food selection was always quite good, both Thai and Western. Less than 2K but no open bar. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboozled Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Thanks all. I'm asking about Chiang Mai for myself but if folks wnat to throw in Bkk stuff, have at it. La Favola was pretty darn good and kind of hi-so therefore a nice break from my usual MO. That's what was half the fun. You felt like you were on vacation somewhere else. Auf der Au is great and a completely diff experience. I see the Centara advertises buffets but not sure about the alcohol drink situation.

Hummin Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) James Noble I had the pleasure to enjoy his food in BKK, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai. He is a bit eccentric and a genius when it comes to design, and presentation, and some great taste when he used to have his sunday brunches in Hua Hin, or Pranburi. He have a new concept rolling in Chiang Mai opening 10. Oct. Check him out and sign up for his news letter. Former Michelin chef and also contestent in the TV program Iron Chef. Just google him, alot of articles about him and his philosophy about food if interested. http://chefjamesnoble.com/?fbclid=IwAR2zjuc4pDQrMBkA2DCFYF_Wi7cbGUtf6-2rD1l_QT6xMYRbKZ4BaOtXLkI https://hotmagazine.website/a-conversation-with-james-noble/ Edited August 30, 2023 by Hummin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Try the AYCE buffet at the top of the Pattaya Park tower. Only 500 baht and great views. Can take your own wine as well with a 100 baht corkage charge. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how you can make such a statement with such an obvious absence of experience. Or it can just be a matter of personal taste. Some people just don´t like buffet, as it is actually food out in the open being held warm or cold for an unknown amount of time. However, I have nothing against a high quality buffet. But, back to the point. Everybody do not think same as you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
