Relax your body, ease your mind... The Sukhothai Bangkok, an oasis in the heart of the city.

Unbelievable! In the heart of the bustling Sathorn district, a green oasis exists. This prime location, where land is worth millions, boasts a hidden gem: The Sukhothai Bangkok, a luxurious 5-star hotel. Upon entering the hotel grounds, one feels transported to a tranquil resort far from the city's hustle and bustle.

Flanked by the Bangkok Insurance Building and the Banyan Tree Bangkok Hotel, the entrance is surprisingly concealed by a cluster of towering trees.

As the car passed through the entrance gate, it felt like entering a tree tunnel in Muak Lek, and the tree archway that would lead up to the Phaneun Thung of Kaeng Krachan National Park.

At the end of the tree tunnel, you will find the hotel area.

Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by a sense of modern Thai elegance. The compact lobby offers a minimalist aesthetic. During check-in, the hotel requires a security deposit of 4,000 baht per room, payable in cash or by credit card. This deposit will be refunded upon check-out.

This area resembles a hall. When I arrived, there were musicians playing the khim, further enhancing the Thai atmosphere.

The Salon is a space adjacent to the Lobby, offering light cocktails, coffee, and snacks. From 2 PM to 5 PM every Monday to Thursday, there is Afternoon tea. On Fridays and Saturdays, there is a Chocolate Buffet.

The Zuk Bar: A Chic Spot for Pre-Dinner Drinks and Late-Night Cocktails

The Zuk Bar, a cozy establishment reminiscent of a small club, offers a curated selection of pre-dinner and after-dinner cocktails, alongside a menu of light bites. Open from 5 pm to midnight, the bar transforms into a vibrant hub as evening descends, boasting a captivating atmosphere.

Celadon is a renowned restaurant at The Sukhothai, situated in a secluded pavilion amidst lush greenery. It has been acclaimed as the Best Restaurant in Bangkok by Travel and Leisure magazine. The ambiance is serene, featuring a lotus pond and verdant surroundings. Celadon specializes in authentic Thai cuisine.

Continuing our exploration of the property, let's move on to the spa, which is located separately from the main hotel building. The surrounding area maintains the lush greenery theme, with beautiful and serene landscaping.

The spa is adjacent to a swimming pool, which is quite spacious and surrounded by daybeds.

This two-story building houses the meeting rooms, separate from the hotel itself. It is adjacent to the spa, and from this angle, it is clear that The Sukhothai Bangkok is truly surrounded by towering skyscrapers.

Standing here feels like standing on an egg yolk, surrounded by tall buildings.

This central area of the hotel offers a scenic green space visible from all guest rooms. It features a grassy lawn for relaxation and a pond adorned with colorful lotuses.

The layout of the guest rooms is a square, with one side facing the dining area and the lobby walkway. The remaining three sides are dedicated to guest rooms. All sides are accessible, with a central green space. Guests can walk across the green space to reach different areas, or use the balcony to avoid the weather and reach the lobby.

The Superior Room I stayed in was spacious and had an angular design that gave it a sense of depth, avoiding the feeling of being in a box. The room was primarily decorated with wood and had a dark brown color scheme that created a落ち着いた雰囲気.

The king-size bed was comfortably firm, offering a truly restful sleep. The pillows were incredibly soft, ensuring a deep and peaceful slumber. A convenient work desk was situated beside the bed.

The end of the bed has a sofa for reclining, allowing you to either sit and enjoy the view outside or lie down and read a book. The TV is embedded in a black glass cabinet, seamlessly blending with the wall and adding a touch of luxury.

The welcome fruit is a green-skinned orange, which is expected to be sour, but unexpectedly, it tastes sweet and refreshing. In addition, there are The Sukhothai Chocolate Truffles placed side by side. Let me tell you a little secret, the chocolate is very delicious, rich and the inside is like lava. It's really amazing.

The angled corners I mentioned earlier were created to add dimension to the room. This angled area is designed to accommodate a coffee machine and a safe.

The room also includes a refrigerator and a minibar, although the minibar is quite expensive. There are also several bottles of complimentary water provided in the room.

Let's take a look at the bathroom. The bathroom is quite spacious and is decorated with mirrors on almost all sides, making it appear even larger. Upon entering the bathroom, the sink is located on the right-hand side.

The left side will be a bathtub.

The central area is divided into wet and dry sections, separated by distinct rooms. The toilet features an automatic water spray system, similar to those found in Japan. Additionally, the toilet seat maintains a consistently warm temperature. However, I find that the seat can sometimes become uncomfortably hot.

The amenities are presented in a luxurious square box. The lemongrass-scented shampoo and shower gel are a delightful treat.

The room is well-equipped with amenities such as universal adapters, shower gel, bath salts, housekeeping services, and laundry services. Guests can request additional services through the TV screen.

Before dusk, I had the opportunity to walk around the hotel and capture the atmosphere of twilight for you to enjoy.

This is arguably the most iconic spot at The Sukhothai Bangkok. Guests frequently visit this location to take pictures.

In the evening, there is a turndown service. The control panel for turning on and off the lights in the entire room is located at the desk. I slept very comfortably tonight. The pillows are soft, and the bed is wide and comfortable.

I woke up late in the morning, intending to capture the atmosphere in the Colonnade dining room before other guests came down for breakfast. However, the soft bed, warm blanket, and comfortable pillows made me sleep in. I woke up with a start around 8:00 am and rushed down to the dining room, only to find it already full of guests. Breakfast is served here from 6:30 am to 10:30 am.

The breakfast will be an international buffet. This corner is for sausages and various hams.

The pork noodle corner also offers dumplings. The noodles are boiled into a beautiful lump, but when eaten, the inside of the noodles are a bit hard. There is not much pork in the dumplings. When you bite into it, it feels like you are only eating the dumpling skin.

The yogurt here is delicious, especially the fruit salad yogurt. If you like sweet things, you'll probably enjoy it.

Fresh Fruit Corner and Fruit Juices

This is a simple and concise translation of the Thai phrase "มุมผลไม้สด และน้ำผลไม้ครับ". It accurately conveys the meaning of the original text without unnecessary embellishments.

There are four types of dim sum available.

The staff informed me that the waffle recipe originated from Belgium.

Hot tea, coffee, and cocoa can be requested for refills.

The food here is served in small containers, unlike other hotels that use larger containers. Even though the food is served in small portions, the staff constantly replenish it, ensuring that the food is always warm. The quality of the breakfast is excellent.

Less than two hours after breakfast, it's time for lunch. For this meal, I'll take you to experience Sunday Brunch.

Sunday Brunch at The Colonnade

The Sunday Brunch is held in the Colonnade dining room, the same location as breakfast. It is served from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. As I was unable to capture the ambiance of the dining room during breakfast, I requested permission from the restaurant to document the atmosphere before other guests arrived for brunch.

The Colonnade Restaurant: A Thai Culinary Experience with a View

The Colonnade Restaurant boasts a distinctly Thai ambiance, offering a unique dining experience. For the best seats in the house, opt for a table by the window. From this vantage point, you can savor your meal while admiring the iconic central pagoda, a symbol of The Sukhothai Bangkok.

Sunday Brunch at Colonnade Restaurant

The Sunday Brunch menu at Colonnade Restaurant features a rotating selection of hot pot options alongside a consistent offering of fresh seafood. While the seafood menu remains the same each week, the hot pot menu changes weekly, offering four distinct options with a variety of dishes. This rotating menu ensures that frequent diners are unlikely to encounter the same dishes repeatedly.

Live music by Thai singers will entertain guests with both auditory and culinary delights. The music genre will be easy-listening international songs, and song requests are welcome.

Seafood is the star of Sunday Brunch, and this corner offers a variety of seafood dishes every week.

Sushi/Sashimi

Sushi and sashimi are two popular Japanese dishes that feature raw seafood. While they share some similarities, there are also key differences between them.

Sushi is a dish that consists of vinegared rice topped with various ingredients, including seafood, vegetables, and eggs. The most common type of sushi is nigiri, which is made with a small ball of rice topped with a slice of raw fish. Other popular types of sushi include maki (rolled sushi), temaki (hand-rolled sushi), and uramaki (inside-out sushi).

Sashimi is a dish that consists of thinly sliced raw seafood, typically served with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. The most common types of sashimi include tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and mackerel.

Key Differences:

• Ingredients: Sushi includes vinegared rice, while sashimi does not.
• Preparation: Sushi is typically formed into various shapes, while sashimi is simply sliced and served.
• Presentation: Sushi is often served with additional toppings and garnishes, while sashimi is typically served with minimal accompaniments.

Similarities:

• Both feature raw seafood: Both sushi and sashimi are made with fresh, raw seafood.
• Both are served with soy sauce and wasabi: Soy sauce and wasabi are common condiments for both sushi and sashimi.
• Both are considered healthy options: Sushi and sashimi are both low in calories and fat and are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Conclusion:

Sushi and sashimi are both delicious and healthy Japanese dishes that feature raw seafood. While they share some similarities, there are also key differences between them. Sushi is a more complex dish that includes vinegared rice and various toppings, while sashimi is a simpler dish that consists of thinly sliced raw seafood.

Let's take a look at Thai food. Thai food also rotates every week.

Each dish is visually appealing, with high-quality ingredients used in each menu item. This prevents the dishes from being overly traditional Thai cuisine.

Sago with pork filling and betel leaf wraps with sea bass

To conclude, I had pork leg noodles. I must confess that I didn't touch any other Thai food because I was so busy with seafood that I had almost no room left in my stomach.

Adjacent to the Colonnade dining room is The Zuk Bar (the connection between the two rooms is behind the musicians). From noon to Sunday afternoon, The Zuk Bar is a dessert lover's paradise. This room is full of desserts, including refreshing fruit juices such as orange, coconut, lemongrass, and sugarcane. It is also a hub for cheese, with as many as 25 varieties.

Please translate:

If the chef hadn't told me that this room was a cheese and dessert haven, I would have missed out on this incredible opportunity. As a dessert lover, I would have been unforgivable to myself.

This is where Chef proudly presents 25 types of cheese.

In terms of desserts, there are both Thai and Western options. Let's start with the Western ones.

The Sunday Brunch costs 3,000++ (net price for food only is 3,531 baht). If you include the Champagne Package, it costs an additional 1,900 baht. The Champagne Package includes French Champagne and a variety of wines that are available for unlimited refills until 3:00 PM.

Upon arrival, customers are greeted with a complimentary Welcome Drink. Two options are available: a refreshing Mocktail green matcha+kaffir lime leaf, or a zesty Cocktail lemongrass+lime for those who prefer alcohol.

The service was excellent. The staff in the dining room were very attentive to all the guests, constantly checking on them and making sure they were satisfied.

For Sunday Brunch at Colonnade, the price is quite high for a salaryman like me. However, when compared to the quality of the ingredients and food, it is excellent and worth the price. As for the taste of the food, I personally like it, but I can't guarantee it because everyone's taste buds are different. What I want to say is that even though the price is quite high, there are still many customers, both Thai and foreigners, who come to use the service until all the tables are full. I think the reason why customers keep coming back is because of the quality of the ingredients, the taste of the food, and the service of the staff. As a result, Colonnade has been voted the best restaurant in Bangkok by Trip Advisor for over a month now.

Translation:

If you're looking to treat yourself, host important guests, or celebrate a special occasion, Sunday Brunch at Colonnade is an excellent choice. However, it's highly recommended to book a table in advance. Due to its popularity, walk-ins may not be accommodated, potentially leading to disappointment.

Standing tall for over 27 years, The Sukhothai Bangkok has proven its excellence through its longevity in a city brimming with luxurious hotels. Despite its age, the hotel continuously undergoes renovations, ensuring its facilities remain modern and up-to-date. During my visit, renovations were underway at the poolside restaurant, and even the guest rooms have been recently refurbished.

The Sukhothai Bangkok is an excellent choice for city dwellers seeking a tranquil retreat amidst lush greenery, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle without requiring extensive travel. Choosing this haven guarantees a satisfying experience.
