This looks really nice. 
Any members on ASEANNOW? Is it good?

I might visit it before heading to Saigon.

In the beginning … The British, and the Australians, in Bangkok were members of the United Club, a beautiful, palatial mansion on the corner of Si Phraya Road with Chareon Krung Road, fronting onto Phadung Krung Kasem canal. Founded in 1886 it was just a short stroll from the British Legation, itself built in 1876, adjacent to the present Portuguese Embassy. History does not record what the ‘dispute’ was that led to a serious falling out amongst its members, only that on 24th April 1903 senior British and Australian members of the United Club, who were businessmen, diplomats, and advisors to the Siamese government, formed the most British of entities, “a committee”, to establish a British Club in Bangkok, in the style enjoyed by their peers in the British Empire throughout the world.

I was there as a guest many years ago.  Very pleasant, good food, lot's of unintelligible English accents.
