Rooftop Italian in Bangkok, Vicolo 4 in Silom Soi 4
Homestyle, satisfying Italian served alfresco on a cozy Silom rooftop terrace Vicolo 4 opened in 2008…however, unless you know Silom Soi 4 well, it’s not really the kind of place one stumbles upon. It’s tucked away on the second floor over top of a bar with very little...
Comfort Thai Food at P Kitchen Sukhumvit Soi 18 Bangkok

Traditional Thai Food at Thanying, Bangkok, Thailand

Best International Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner at Kuppa, Bangkok, Thailand

Classic Thai Dining at Erawan Tea Room, Grand Hyatt, Bangkok, Thailand
