Where will you be having your Christmas dinner in Bangkok this year?
We’ve compiled this guide to eating and drinking along the Sukhumvit Road during Christmas and New Year 2017.
Most Bangkok veterans know that the city’s best hotels are some of the best places to find heaving buffets, free flow alcohol and steaming Christmas pudding over the holiday period, but there are plenty of stand-alone restaurants offering special festive menus this year as well.
We’ve tried to include as many of them as possible here for you — from more budget options to high-end, high price tag endeavours as well.
Let us know where you’re going in the comments!
Let’s take it away…
