Bangkok is always an ideal destination for short break, say just 3 days 2 nights. 2 hours flight, no need to plan and just get the air-tickets and reserve hotel in a few hours, then GO!

This time, a friend was going there for business trip and I just bought the airtickets and share the room, what a nice saving plan

Have visited Bangkok for over 10 times, so I don't have any place to visit in mind, just want to relax. The only missions are to try 2 great restaurants here, Breeze and Bo.Lan, Spa at Divana Spa.

Booked a week in advance by email, got the best view seating at the balcony with my friend; just 2 of us. It's like private dining room, Perfect!

Located on the 52 floor at State Tower, weather was so nice to have breeze and not too hot, clear sky and lively streets in the city.

From the moment we entered the building, premier service standard and smiles from all staff made us feel great! Waitress uniform is beautifully designed, architecture is kind of masterpeice with detailed layout.

Waitress pleasantly show us the wine menu, Chef's tasting menu, a la carte as well as drinks menu. This is my first time here, it's for sure a good choice to have the tsating menu. It's 4,500 for the set and $6,500 with wine paring.

Appetizer-foie gras with salmon roe and lobster with caviar, so good
Soup-choose either shark fin soup or musroom soup. My friend chose shark fin one, I don't eat shark fin so I had the musroom soup, very nice. There was prwn dumpling in it with spanich
First course-sea bass, high standard
Main course-I had the prime angus beef and my friend changed it to lobaster, both were excellent
Dessert-green team chocolate, nicely presented

As my friend was coming for meeting, cannot take the wine pairing and we had 2 cocktails. No disappointment, they made it seriously.

Always have fine dining in HK, but with high quality of food and service plus the view, it becomes a must-try.

Many people's first comment would be, were there all foreigners? I'm happy to say, NO. There are some Westerners, but larger proportion of customers are Asians. Don't be so shallow that only Westerners can spend, nowadays, you can always see Asians around in most splurge places.

Next to a commercial building Emporium Tower and a famous high-end shopping mall, Emporium. Very convinient to have the sky train next to it and taxi always available.

Because it's not a hotel, it's a serviced apartment that suitable for long-stay, the room layout offers a home-feel with spacious bedroom, big balcony, living room and a big kitchen (bigger than ordinary apartments in HK). It's just another choice out of 5-stars hotels that I stayed before, such as The Sukhothai Hotel, The Dusit Thani, Banyan Tree, etc. Not Thai traditionally decorated, but it can be a "home".

Swimming pool is not bad, went to swim in the morning after breakfast. Breakfast is not really good there, compare to other hotels; but there are cafes around.

Located on the 65th floor, it's kinda very top in Bangkok although it sounds not compare to many high-rise buildings in HK. It's real masterpiece of architect, Rome style with a bar in the middle of a upper splitted floor.

People dressed up here and party, excellent live band performance under the beautiful view...life is so good!

Will try their food next time!

SPA, is a must-have item in Bangkok. a Totally relax day with half day spa and dinner Bo.Lan, highly recommended by a friend.

Bo and Lan are 2 Chefs from Nahm in London, inspired by Michelin-starred Chef, David Thompson. Suggested by another friend, going there with very high expectation.

We booked a table at 6:30pm, and arrived much earlier. It's a very hot day and when we arrived, they haven't ready yet, and have us seated outside to have drinks to cool down while waiting. Cocktails are quite nice, especially in such a hot weather after half an hour walking from hotel.

They have a mini store selling ingredients, from rice to oil, etc. and cooking classes as well, interesting.

After waiting for a while, air-cond is on and we were arranged to sit inside. Nothing luxury but friendly interior with some nice painting hanging on the wall. Waitress are very relax, not like other high-end restaurants, they are kind of casual, a big too casual for service.

Showing us a tasting menu and a la carte menu; as we were in a rush that my friend would have a conf call in 2 hours; we decided go straight to the tasting menu.

The appetizer is very special, it has rice spirit, something like Chinese white wine; followed by a fruit drink to clear the throat plus a fruit before starting the courses.

Many courses including soup, pork, fish, baby lobsters, king prawns, etc etc...5-6 items; all are Yummy! especially the pork and fish, the sauce was so good that I had a big plate of rice.

Dessert-3 courses...mango with sticky rice, coconut in ice, and a big plate of everything in there...we couldn't finished but really satisfied.

Small restaurant, kind of cozy feeling. Highly recommended for people who likes Thai food.

Apart from SPA in hotels, Divana Spa is my favorite choice. They offer wide range of spa programs at reasonable price, very good services and techniques.

Have been here for several times, whenever I came Emporium for shopping. It's something like agnès b in HK; side business of a fashion brand and food quality is not bad at reason prices.

It's my afternoon tea after spa, having an iced lemon tea and pad Thai noodle. Very nice
