Sukhothai's Chocolate Buffet (Part 1)

The Sukhothai Hotel is a 5 star resort located in the Sathorn district of Bangkok (BTS Sala Daeng/ MRT Lumpini). It plays host every Friday ~ Sunday, to the ONLY chocolate buffet in Bangkok.

Cupcakes:


For 800 Baht, the buffet includes more than just chocolates-- sushi, finger sandwiches, fresh fruit and Thai dim sum are also offered. Coffee and tea is served too. The buffet runs from 14.00 ~ 17.30. Reservations are necessary.

Chocolate fondue and English pudding:


My friend and I loved every minute of the buffet, and we stayed until we were kicked out! *^o^*

Cakes & according to my friend, the BEST creme brule anywhere!:

I will post more photos of the amazing sweets offered over the next few days.

Marshmallows, dried apricots (for chocolate fondue), tarts and creme brule:


For further information and reservations, see Sukhothai's "Salon" site HERE.

**Happy Thai New Year! **
Today marks the start of the Thai "Songkran" water festival. This 3 day holiday is to celebrate the Thai New Year. Buddhist images are sprinkled with water & prayers are made, all to bring in "Good Luck" for the New Year. In the streets, you can see people tossing water over one another, which is meant to "cleanse" people of bad luck or sins. April is the hottest month in Thailand, so the water is often welcomed! See this WIKI page for more information and photos. The picture on the left is the Buddhist alter set up in my condo's lobby. It's beautiful, no?

  1. Special note for my Japanese readers: I found out about his buffet while looking through an H.I.S brochure. But, be warned! They will make the reservation for you, but their cost is 900 Baht!

    Just reserve via email on the hotel's website. You can save 300 JPY. ^_^
