I've been in Pathum Thani for about 3 months now and I'm craving an American breakfast buffet.

I have had a few American breakfasts since I have been here but nothing really hit the spot.

Im looking for the real deal I don't mind traveling to Bangkok.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

 

What kind of things would you expect to ser in a really good buffet. There are many on Bangkok but mostly not that impressive unless you go to a really good 4-5 star hotel.

I would like to see real bacon opposed to ham floating in water.

Just a buffet with quality ingredients.

I don't mind going to a hotel but I don't know if they are exclusively for hotel guests or can outsiders just come in the morning and buy just the buffet.

Outsiders can certainly go in but top quality will cost . A lot of buffets will naturally also offer Thai food at the same buffet. Quality bacon ( not streaky ) is something I have never seen at a buffet. If money were no object I would love to ser what's on offer at the Oriental hotel.

You might do better just going to a quality western restaurant and get the best breakfast they have.

So I'm kinda of secluded out here in Pathum Thani and have not had a lot of time to explore Bangkok Western restaurants. Can you recommend a good restaurant that serves a decent breakfast. I don't mind if it's a little pricey as I don't do this very often.

 

 

I can't because I don't live in Bangkok anymore but there is a dedicated thread on this forum somewhere with lots of good suggestions and prices. Do a search for it and you'll have a lot of places to chose from although none are likely to be near Pathum Thani so get ready for more than hour of traveling.

 

Most expats cook their own having sourced where to get the best ingredients. The lean back bacon from Macro is very good. No fat at all and super lean. 250 baht gets you about 35 slices. I like their thin pork sausages too and the hash browns are cheap and convenient if you can't be bothered to make home fries.

i like the kiwi on sukhumvit soi 8.  google for their website. they have a breakfast special of sorts and good bacon (i am american).

 

this thread was going awhile back

 

 

Thanks a lot, that's the information I needed. 

 

 

 

I'm told the breakfast at Molly Malones on Soi Convent (Sala Deang) is very good but not sure if it's a buffet or menu.  I have eaten at their Sunday Roast buffet and they seem to use very good ingredients.

 

It's interesting that breakfast buffets abound in Pattaya with many in the budget range but few in Bangkok except at expensive hotels.

This one looks good too !!

The buffet at Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok,...great buffet and you can take a table by the riverside...one of the best amongst many I have tried out in the world, IMHO naturally!!

Breakfast at the 79th floor of Baiyoke sky hotel - 450 baht for European - Thai - Japanese - Chinese - Indian buffet.

Excellent bacon!

 

The Old German Beerhouse on Sukumvit Soi 11, just down the soi a bit from the Ambassador Hotel, other side of the soi.

 

Baht 125 or so, one egg, I usually get two, good bacon, ask for crisp, and best of all, good fried potatoes, I sometimes get a sideorder to take home for another day.  Plus coffee and juice.

 

Handy to the Nana BTS station.

I second this recommendation.  Good food, good value and very nice setting.

Any of the major hotels will have a very good breakfast buffet with bacon, especially the American owned hotels like the Marriott, Sheraton, Hilton, etc.

 

I also agree with Bourbon St. for a good American breakfast, but check out the City Skyline Restaurant on Asoke. I believe it's owned by a Thai woman who lived in the states and knows what a real American breakfast should taste like. They have dishes like biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak and eggs, real hashbrowns, Jimmy Dean style sausage,  and of course the all important bacon.

If you have a smartphone or tablet, you can download an app called EATIGO and that lists discounts for hotel buffets, and restaurants etc.  you can get up to 50% discount. you can also view their webpage from your desktop (www.eatxxo.com...you can fill in the xx's)

I like the montien near patpong it has a great gbuffet with everything you want not sure of price I usually get it as part of my room

 

Foodland Restaurant. Order a double breakfast @62 THB each.

I always stay at the Rembrandt Hotel Soi 18 Sukumvitt in Bangkok, great buffet, mixed European/American - "real bacon, well done and crispy" also has the ham, but very lean,  250 baht, all you can eat.

 

Bourbon Street Bar/Resturant Soi 63 BTS Ekamai, good Cajon and Loosiana Fench Food,    http://bourbonstbkk.com   for menu.  If you want a real American Thanksgiving dinner - reserve, he does it right and Southern Style.   Dang, I'm getting hungry, need to pop into Bourbon Street and get some Crawdads for lunch.

I'll second that!

Eat breakfast there often and you can order it all day long.

Great fried potatoes and crispy bacon.

I've eaten buffets at Lebua, Banyan Tree, Chatrium, Hansar, 2 x Centrepoints, Raddison

 

Hansar beat them all hands down for quality. Selection was smaller but quality and service was superb.

 

Just my opinion.

Terminal 21 hotel (next to Asoke BTS) has a good one. Many choices and quite a beautiful layout.

Try the Black Swan Pub Soi 19 near Asoke and Sukhumvit MRT/BTS, excellent food! I am American and really love this place. Tell Dave I sent you.

One of the best hotel breakfasts I've had was at the Amari Boulevard, Sukhumvit 5?, 2  types of bacon, crispy or not crispy,  a press with honeycomb in it to squeeze your own honey, and a cook to prepare your eggs to order. Just about everything you could ask for from a Western or Asian point of view, even lamb Kofta. It is a couple of years since I was last there but give it a try.

Never thought of Bourbon Street for breakfast.  What time do they open?
