Centara Grand is offering 1200b ++ for the buffet on Christmas Day, and add an extra 300b if you want free flow wine. Total was 1900b (inclusive) per head for everything and wine.

Do you have a link to this please? 300 baht free flow wine sounds fantastic!

Taipan hotel is having a Christmas Buffet on the 24th, think 1300baht per person 6 to 10pm

If you book via Thai City Deals you can buy a voucher for this for 650 Baht

http://thaicitydeals...n-hotel,-suk-23

Hmmm... It seems there are two different voucher offers going on re the Tai Pan Hotel for Christmas....

A Christmas EVE (Dec. 24) DINNER Buffet (6-10 pm) on offer for 650 baht with advance voucher purchase.

http://thaicitydeals.com/bangkok/deal/50-off-international-christmas-eve-dinner-buffet-at-pan-kitchen-taipan-hotel,-suk-23

A Christmas DAY LUNCH Buffet (11:30 am to 2 pm) on offer for 450 baht with advance voucher purchase....

http://thaicitydeals.com/bangkok/deal/55-off-christmas-day-lunch-buffet-at-pan-kitchen-taipan-hotel,-suk-23

All I know is, their regular non-holiday lunch buffet runs about 200 baht per person regular price (no turkey, of course), and is one of the better value meal deals in BKK. Nothing fancy...pretty much a coffee shop type setting. But a decent, simple buffet for a very good price. Never tried their holiday offering, as yet.

And this just in from Bourbon Street...

The BKK Post has been running daily special holiday sections including info on Christmas and New Years Eve dinners and such for the past two weeks or so...

And I was browsing thru the online version of those sections, which have been posted as PDF files on their website.

As you might imagine, the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner listings there are heavily weighted toward the higher end hotels.

This isn't a scientific analysis...but by rough figuring, I'd say the averages seem to be running in the 1500 to 2000 baht range per adult at the various mid range hotels, up to around the 3000 baht range per adult at the upper end hotels... and even higher at some of them.

Dunno about others.... but regardless of the size of my wallet, at $100 U.S. per adult for a Christmas dinner, I'd say the turkeys aren't the old ones getting stuffed.

[bkkjames]

I saw on bourbon street's fb page they are doing one for 899++ I believe.

I don't agree with the price Hikes at Xmas... not fair on the consumer.... Yes Turkey is expensive but with the alcohol that people tend to drink you can subsidise the turkey

No one is forcing you to eat in a restaurant.

You are not getting my point...... I run a restaurant. I do not put up my prices by 400% at xmas like others do..... It's xmas it should be affordable to all.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

It's nice to see someone running an establishment here taking that view.... Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's rather the exception than the rule...

You might think, a pub would have more flexibility on the food pricing than the traditional restaurant, because it's business is more weighted toward drink sales...

But what excuse the hotels here have for their Christmas pricing....I haven't a clue... Kind of forgetting what Christmas was all about in the first place... Ooops... wrong country for that...

agreed......... My price point is based on a starter main course dessert and coffee..... I don't charge ridiculous amounts..... I've pissed off the hotel above me by beating their prices.. they too have now come down in price..... So what have I done...... That's right... Happy hour prices if people book......Boyaaa take that corporate monkeys

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Does anyone know if you have to pre book at The Londoner or any other pubs? Or just turn up early and hope you can get a table?

Here's the info on The Londoner's Christmas offering... buried on their Facebook page...

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Not sure how this list was put together, but it's a pretty amazingly comprehensive summary of the Christmas buffets and dinners being offered by the various hotel-restaurants throughout Bangkok...

http://www.bangkokshoppinggirl.com/2011/12/christmas-buffets-in-bangkok-december.html

It's a bad sign when the Christmas Eve and Day Dinner buffets at the Holiday Inn Ploenchit's Cafe G are going for 700 and 1000 baht per adult, respectively. Their normal dinner buffet is under 300 baht.

This list is missing all of the pub offerings, however.

I like the way you think and hope that you do well, but I do not blame some restaurants that go to a lot of expense and effort for charging more for a special meal.

I do think that some places are charging ridiculous prices, but I just avoid them and go somewhere within my budget. There are plenty of places charging reasonable amounts for good food out there.

The Beer Vault

Looking for a more economical way to celebrate Christmas in Bangkok? The Beer Vault, one of the restaurants at the recently opened Four Points Sheraton on Sukhumvit Soi 15 has put together special ham and turkey meals on December 24th and 25th. It won't be the full spread but it only costs 280 baht per person (about $9).

And for those looking to have a "gay" Merry Christmas in the Silom area...

Wow! who could say no to a good stuffing on Christmas day? Dinner is served from 7pm until 10.30pm and costs just 495 baht. Reservations recommended.

Here's the info on Cafe G at the Holiday Inn Ploenchit, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day -- one of the more reasonably priced hotel offerings around.

[thaicbr]

Here's O'Reilly's Silom (from their webpage). Cheapest 3 course out there i think and it includes the tax.

Here's Molly Malone's Silom (if you can read it, sent in a email, but i think it was meant for mms)

Here's Jamesons Silom (from their website. but compressed to go on here)

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Thanks for adding in a couple of the noteworthy pubs, CBR....

Bully's should be doing something as well...and probably at the same or better price point, based on Thanksgiving... But nothing on their web page...same as always... Someone's got to check with them direct.

Here's image versions of your files that are a bit easier to handle...

So John, it seems like The Londoner are charging a little over double the price of their normal Sunday Roast, it's pitty, I like there, I hoped they might be above that.

Another case of we will charge you more because we can and almost everyone else is doing the same.

[theoldgit]

As a matter of interest we will be in Pattaya over Christmas, we are booked into Jamesons and their exstensive Christmas Buffet is about 600 Baht.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Git.. But The Londoner's price above that I posted is 1400 baht plus VAT for a SET Christmas dinner meal.... whereas their normal Sunday roast buffet (vs. set plate) is something like 470 baht....

By my reckoning, getting darned close to triple the normal price, and not for the same offering.

Oddly, on The Londoner's website, they seem to show on their calendar plans for offering their Sunday roast on Sunday the 25th.... But I suspect that's some kind of error.

http://www.the-londo...com/events.aspx

BTW, The Londoner's Facebook page includes the following detail re their Christmas Day menu.... so it pretty clearly is replacing their regular buffet.

Sunday, December 25, 2011 at 12:00 pm until Monday, December 26, 2011 at 1:00 am

We now have live entertainment from 12 - 11pm. Including the Big Boy band, A violinist and also a top Dj.
