If you have time for only one good meal in Thailand come to Banyan Tree Bangkok, where mouth-watering cuisine is served to awe-inspiring views of Bangkok's ever-changing cityscape. A gourmet tour of the hotel will take you to the capital's highest fine-dining establishments: Vertigo Grill (61st floor), Bai Yun (60th floor) and Saffron (59th floor), which turn a meal into a true highlight of your journey through Asia. Whether you are celebrating a business deal, family reunion or leisurely days in Bangkok, celebrate it the Thai way: make an entire evening of the affair and share innovative dishes with friends and family.

Vertigo is unlike any other bar-cum-restaurant in the world: some 61 floors above the streets of Bangkok, this open-air rooftop lounge grants views that simply take your breath away. Stylish, sophisticated and reaching for the clouds, there is no better place for a romantic t?te-?-t?te, glamorous cocktail party or fashion launch than this. Indulge in barbecued seafood, champagne and a wide selection of cocktails, wines-by-the-glass and non-alcoholic drinks. Innovative a-la-minute BBQ items include 'Red Mullet en Papillote with Thyme', 'Grilled Scallops in a Shell with Toasted Hazelnut and Coriander Butter' and 'Grilled Oysters with Parmesan Cheese'. Irresistible.
