It's more delicious than expected. I originally thought that only the croissants were delicious. Other Western foods also taste good and there are many choices. If you want to eat Western food in Bangkok, this restaurant is also good!

I went on a 10-day trip to Thailand! I spent half of it in Bangkok, and I used the travel pass! In recent years, BTS fares have been getting more expensive, so if you use it a lot, it's definitely more economical to use the travel pass. You can also collect it smoothly by just showing the voucher!

This is a must if you will travel in Thailand! You get to enjoy the view on the Chao Phraya river and indulge in good food.
We started the tour on the roof deck but after 30 minutes, we need to go down to the 2nd floor because it started to rain. Nevertheless, it was still enjoyable.
